A top-five end this week on the Sony Open, the place he’s taking part in on a sponsor’s exemption, would seal the deal on the Tour card entrance.
“Given what he’s executed on the PGA Tour this previous 12 months, he’s gonna get some begins, he’s gonna get some alternatives earlier this 12 months,” Stoltz continued. “I don’t suppose it’s out of the realm of risk he goes on the market and wins one thing. It gained’t be within the Signature Occasions. He’s gonna be taking part in, you recognize, the opposite occasions.
“He’s near having executed it already. And I believe if he goes and wins as soon as and contends and performs properly, like, dude, this man is gonna be on the workforce. I imply, with regards to that 11, 12 spot, why wouldn’t you slide a man in there?”
Clanton brings a loads to the desk, Stoltz stated.
“Large firepower, hits bombs, putts it nice,” he stated. “It’s not unimaginable.”
Knost preferred what Stoltz needed to say, however went in a special route for his personal prediction.

“I would like [2025] to be the 12 months of positivity,” Knost stated. “Good issues are gonna occur. It’s been a tough few years for golf. So my daring prediction is there may be gonna be an settlement made, we’re gonna see LIV gamers taking part in in PGA Tour occasions earlier than the 12 months is over.
“Not saying it’s gonna occur straight away,” Knost continued. “However earlier than the season is over, we’re gonna see Jon Rahm, we’re gonna see Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson taking part in on the PGA Tour. The whole lot’s gonna work out, everybody’s gonna be completely happy and it’s gonna be an ideal 2025.”

No matter who finally ends up on the U.S. and European groups this fall, one factor is for positive: Each Knost and Stoltz anticipate this 12 months’s Ryder Cup as being one for the ages.
