Noren's a good shout, and surely Matsuyama has to be a consideration for a potential Major or two. Finished 2016 on one hell of a run, he's a serious talent.

Would he not one into the already broken through to the big time category being a former Player champion?

I like Noren, good shout for the Players or a WGC. If he manages to get it going on a major weekend then a good shout too, US open maybe as he is a steady player and is capable of grinding out pars when needed.

I got the wrong end of the stick with my original response but my major breakthrough pick for this season would be Rafa Cabrera-Bello. Finished the year really strongly, one of the few Europeans to come away from the RC with credit and has very sneakily made the top 30 in the world. I'm expecting him to be a major competitor now on the global stage.

I like Rafa as a player. Seem very calm under pressure, and has enough game to get it done.

I used to play quite a bit with Blandy when he was at Dibden, even marked his card when he shot a course record! You won't see much of him at Stoneham these days as he has moved up nearer to Heathrow, spends most of his 'downtime' at the Wisley now.

I'm going to say Bryson DeChambeau. I personally think he's going to be the next big thing 🤔

Beef will do well on the PGA and I think Tyrall hatton will do well! but I think Tommy Fleetwood will make a mark this year too!

Although well known and established, I think this could be Reeds year. Breakthrough in terms of Majors and where he sits as one of the worlds best.
Also, this is pretty much a make or break year for Woods, so for phase 2 (or is it 3?) I think this is a breakthrough year for Woods 2.0.
Finally, Paul Dunne - I think he needs to break through or is in danger of having his potential not realised.

Nicolas Colsaerts for me showed signs of a return last year and after that round with Westwood in the Ryder cup too good to fall by the wayside and not win something.

I'd second Matsuyama for having a big year!

Incredible comment, he managed to retain his tour card after coming through Q School in 2015, i don't think many people realise how tough that is to do. Admittedly now he will get in all events its time to kick on this year
