Scouting report: Kenny Perry

Everything below is derived from Kenny's Drive for Five ratings — the same nine attributes that drive the game. Kenny is rated 78 overall and plays as a Bomber.

Why these ratings

Kenny Perry's profile is defined by driving distance (80) — the standout number in the card. As a Bomber, Kenny leads with length — driving distance rated 80. In the game that means an edge on longer holes and in fourballs, where raw power lets you attack; the trade-off is that tight, accuracy-first courses blunt the advantage.

Ryder Cup strengths

Kenny's biggest weapons are Driving (80) — solid driving distance; Irons (79) — solid iron play; Big-match (79) — solid big-match temperament. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.

Weaknesses to manage

The softer spots in the card are Focus (75) and Short game (77). In match play these are the areas an opponent will target, and the reason pairing Kenny with a complementary partner matters.

Best format

On the ratings, Kenny's strongest session is the Singles. One-on-one match play rewards this card’s temperament and short game — the profile of a player you trust when there’s no partner to lean on.
