Profile
Adam is a former world number one and Masters winner. A win at the 2019 Australian PGA saw him end a period of over three years without a win and it was no surprise to see him go on and win the Genesis Invitational on the PGA Tour early in 2020.
Adam is on record as stating he struggled to find the right balance on the course and off the course with the arrival of his second child in August 2017. A combination of finding this balance and reaching the milestone age of 40 has seen his play improve and moved him back inside the world top 20 at the end of 2020.
Adam took on a very light schedule for 2020 as a result of Covid-19 and it's likely he will come out hungry to win again in 2021.
Significant Info To Be Aware Of
Adam turned 40 in July 2020.
Stats Analysis
Long and Short Game - Adam is ordinarily excellent tee to green. He ranked 4th SG: Tee to green in 2019 but a stop start 2020 saw him slide down to 34th in this category. This was largely due to poor performance off the tee, ranking 118th SG: Off The Tee. Given he only played nine events in the whole of 2020 we shouldn't place to much emphasis on this.
Trends
Goes best when fresh - Six of Adam's last nine wins have come after at least a week off. He's a player who goes well when he's fresh.
Major & WGC Analysis
Major's - Adam won the Masters in 2013 and also has a runner up finish to his name in 2011. Made all three cuts in 2020 with 22nd at PGA his best finish.
It wouldn't be a surprise to see Adam win another Major before his career is over. His schedule is geared towards the big events and he has multiple top 20 finishes in each of the four Majors.
WGC's - Two time winner in 2011 and 2016. Only start in 2020 was 26th in Mexico. Scott has another WGC in him soon.

Playoff Record
5-4. Adam's playoff record appears weak at first glance but his losses were mostly early in his career or in Australia. Bizarrely, he has won every playoff he has been involved in on the PGA Tour but lost every playoff he has been involved in on the PGA Tour of Australia.
