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 late March 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. 3 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.

Viktor Hovland

Hovland comes in No. 4 in strokes gained total in moderate winds and also in moderate and extreme winds combined.

The 27-year-old hasn’t won since the 2023 Tour Championship.

Patrick Cantlay

Cantlay ranks No. 15 in strokes gained total when using moderate winds and No. 8 when using extreme winds.

He has not won since the 2022 BMW Championship.
