With the playoffs ending this week, the PGA Tour season has come to an end. Now the players will get the chance to finally settle down for a time and also give a break to their clubs. But this year has been like a roller coaster ride filled with unexpected twists and turns in many tournaments.

As the term ends, the PGA Tour has launched its report card where its golfers are grading their own season performances. And as these players grade themselves on the basis of their knowledge, fans express sympathy for those players who are too harsh on themselves.

With the tour divided now, many old players have risen on the charts while new players have been given a chance to shine. And what a phenomenal everyone had. As a fun activity, the PGA Tour asked some notable names to assess their performances, and the responses were mixed. Brian Harman said “I mean it’s probably going to be in As, probably an A-. Just because of struggles in the middle. I kind of lost my way for a while, so I wasted a little bit of time.”

Jordan Spieth graded himself with a B. According to Spieth, this season he has played some of the best golf of his career and expressed the desire to win more majors. While Max Homa relishes with an A. He said, “I’d be lying if it wasn’t an A. I will give it an A-. I feel like I got a lot better. Had 11 to 10 and lots of top 25s. I just feel like this is the most consistent I’ve ever been.” Tony Finau gave himself a B and made the honest confession of how hard it is to win on the PGA Tour.

Tommy Fleetwood went for between a B+ to an A as he didn’t achieve all the goals he set out at the beginning of the year. And while Viktor Hovland and Tyrrell Hatton measured themselves with an A and B respectively, it was Tom Kim and Collin Morikawa who, despite of brilliant performances, were harsh critics of themselves. Tom Kim, who has made it to the Tour Championship and played well in majors, gave himself a C- and said he could do better by starting to win. And Morikawa, who hasn’t won an event this year, took it upon his heart and rated himself a C-.

And fans who have been sympathizing with the Asian players who are pretty hard on themselves.

While many fans felt for Morikawa and Kim for tough examination.“Asians harsh on themselves 😂”
Another wrote “Asian grading scale is different 😂”
And, “Tom Kim being as Asian as can be”.
Many expressed that the Asian way of measuring self-worth by success is tough, “You can see the teaching of Asian parents here folks”.
Another wrote, “There are some harsh graders out on the playing field is seems”.
One fan thought Tom deserved an A: “Other than Tom, I think the grades are very accurate. If that’s a c- for Tom Kim, I can’t imaging what an A- looks like”
Other appreciated the improvement of Homa and Fleetwood: “max.homa took some big steps forward this season and I’m here for it all”
One wrote, “Fleetwood needs to be higher he had a great hear”

Nevertheless, the players now get to enjoy some time off which they deserve, and prepare for the next season. Perhaps Kim could grab a win next year.
