PLAYER SPOTLIGHTS
Bubba Watson: Watson had a phenomenal 2025, earning Comeback Player of the Year honors at the LIV Golf Awards. Unfortunately, the two-time Masters champion didn’t get much help from his teammates, as all three finished 38th or worse in the standings. Watson is still an elite shot-maker who has a rare ability to work the ball both ways effortlessly. When he’s in form, he’s one of the most entertaining players in the world.
Peter Uihlein: Typically a reliable contributor, Uihlein is coming off a frustrating 2025. The former U.S. Amateur champion still hits the ball a long way off the tee but has struggled with driving accuracy at times. After a strong fall season that included a runner-up finish at the Link Hong Kong Open, Uihlein is primed for a bounce back year in 2026.
Matthew Wolff: Still just 26 years old, Wolff remains one of the most tantalizing talents in the game of golf. After bursting on the season as a young professional and winning on the PGA Tour, the Oklahoma State product has had a rollercoaster run, battling both physical and mental health concerns. There is still a great deal of potential to be unlocked, but the time is now for Wolff to make the most of his career.
Ben Campbell: Campbell is a birdie maker who is one of the best putters in the league but struggles to keep up with the longer hitters in the league. The Kiwi is used to playing around the world and performed extremely well in Asia. He’ll need a big year if he’s to improve his 2025 spot in the standings and guarantee himself a spot on the team next season.
WHAT THE STATS SUGGEST
The RangeGoats were 5th in the league in driving distance, led by the power of Uihlein and Wolff off the tee.
WHERE CAN THEY IMPROVE?
Outside of driving distance, the RangeGoats ranked 9th in the league or worse in every major statistical category. The team struggled to consistently hit fairways, greens in regulation and get up-and-down from the around the green. They also ranked 10th in both birdies made and putting.
KEY QUOTES
Bubba Watson on bringing back the same team from 2025: “We’re looking forward to getting the 2026 season started. Injury and illness hurt our momentum last year, so we’re excited for a fresh, healthy start.”
Bubba Watson on preparing for the 2026 season: “I look forward to competing. Can’t wait to get back out there. But yeah, so the offseason was good. I got a lot of rest, so it was nice.”
Bubba Watson on the team’s lack of success in 2025: “We had a blast last year. We sucked but we had a blast. So I figured, hey, we can’t get any worse, so we need to try to do it better. Everybody is excited about that. Trying to move up the leaderboard a little bit.”
BOTTOM LINE
With no outside reinforcements on the way, the RangeGoats will need to rely on improvements from Uihlein, Wolff and Campbell to climb the standings. Watson was brilliant last season, but it would be a lot to ask for the now 47-year-old to carry the team once again in 2026. For the team to make major strides, Uihlein and Wolff will need to hit their ceiling of finishing in the top 20 of the indiviudal standings.
