If you have 4 tier of players on tour he would be in that second tier, a tier above journeyman in my view

You have your stars / superstars - Tiger, DJ, Koepka, Phil, Spieth, Mcilroy.

Good Players - Using a Canadian example, Mike Weir would be at the top of this class.  He was possibly a star for a 2 or 3 year period around 2003.   These guys can contend for a major from time to time.

Journeyman - (David Hearn).   Guy has contended for a few victories on tour, has been as high as 90 on in the world rankings, and generally has had a Tour Card for 10 years with no real threat of ever being a major contender to even make the tour championship.

PGA Tour / Web Tour up and downers - Every year it is a question whether these players will retain their cards.

I see Gary Woodland as second tier (as of now).   Similar to a Bill Haas, Jason Dufner, Stewart Cink, Charl Schwartzel.

There have been journeyman who have won majors.. but I am trying to think of the last one.   It was more common in the 2000's:
- Todd Hamilton
- Ben Curtis
- Shaun Micheel
- Y.E Yang
