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?
