Best Wind Players on the PGA Tour

More often than not, weather conditions on the PGA Tour are great, but that isn’t always the case.

Over the course of the year, there can be rounds played in tough conditions, one of them being wind.

This can affect all facets of the game, from ball-striking all the way to putting. So, who are the best wind players on the PGA Tour?

Thanks to Fantasy National (last 24 rounds as of June 2025) and the “wind” search function, there are answers. These players are good to target when golf betting on a tournament with windy conditions.

Best Wind Players on the PGA Tour

Scottie Scheffler

Over the last 24 rounds in moderate wind conditions, Scheffler ranks No. 1 in total strokes gained, and then he’s No. 5 in total strokes gained in extremely windy conditions.

This does not come as much of a surprise, as he’s arguably the best ball-striker on the PGA Tour.

Adam Scott

Scott ranks No. 1 in strokes gained total in moderate and extreme windy conditions combined and No. 2 when just using moderate wind conditions.

The 44-year-old hasn’t won since the 2020 Genesis Invitational.

Denny McCarthy

McCarthy comes in at No. 2 overall in strokes gained total in moderate and extreme windy conditions combined, as well as No. 3 overall when just using moderate.

McCarthy is still seeking his first career PGA Tour win.

Viktor Hovland

Hovland ranks No. 4 in both moderate and windy conditions combined and just in moderate conditions.

He has won seven times on the PGA Tour, but is one of the best players who has yet to win a major.

Honorable Mention: Rory McIlroy, Sahith Theegala, Xander Schauffele, Shane Lowry, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau, Justin Thomas, and Hideki Matsuyama.
