One of the best things about a new PGA season is seeing which rising stars will live up to the hype and who won’t.

Guthrie will keep getting better in the coming years, and he’ll certainly be a household name—as long as he can improve his performance in major championships.

2. Rickie Fowler



Mr. Fowler is already a very popular golfer for many different reasons. His all-orange getup (which he wears in honor of his alma mater, the Oklahoma State Cowboys) would make any hunter jealous, and his flat-brimmed hats make him one of the more hip golfers on the tour.

His high finishes in majors and colorful persona (this ESPN commercial, for example) have made him a huge hit with the fans too.
