Despite dominating performances by Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda in 2024, several players had remarkable yet underappreciated seasons. Here are the 12 most underrated golf performances of 2024:

Rory McIlroy secured four wins and his sixth Race to Dubai title, matching Seve Ballesteros. While some consider his season disappointing due to missed Major opportunities, he was one of only three golfers to win more than three tournaments on elite tours.

Collin Morikawa quietly climbed to World No. 4 with exceptional consistency - missing just two cuts and securing seven top-five finishes. His Major performances were particularly impressive, with three top-15 finishes.

Tyrrell Hatton excelled in his first LIV Golf season, winning once and achieving seven top-five finishes. He also maintained his DP World Tour status and won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Ruoning Yin captured three victories and finished 2024 ranked second globally behind Korda. Her Major performances were consistently strong, including a runner-up finish at the AIG Women's Open.

Sergio Garcia won LIV Golf Andalucia and posted his best Major result in seven years with a T12th at the US Open.

Haeran Ryu built on her Rookie of the Year success with one win, three Major top-10s, and finished second in the Race to CME points list.

Hideki Matsuyama won twice, including the Genesis Invitational and FedEx St Jude Championship, while capturing bronze at the Paris Olympics.

Hannah Green secured three wins across the season and finished sixth in world rankings.

Lauren Coughlin won twice in three starts and went unbeaten in her Solheim Cup debut.
