Looking at the numbers, golf fans can see the sudden emergence of 32-year-old Luke List.
His rise has been as striking as a well-hit 8-iron, and the pace of his success has been as quick as a downhill putt at Augusta National.
In mid-February, List had climbed into the top 20 of the Fed Ex Cup points race, which serves as the unofficial PGA rankings. He moved into the top-200 in the world golf rankings and had managed to make almost $900,000 in his first seven tournaments of the 2016-17 season.
Consider this: List had made almost the same amount of money and posted the same number of top-10 finishes (two) in his previous 62 PGA Tour starts since 2003 combined.
