Scouting report: Paul Way

Everything below is derived from Paul's Drive for Five ratings — the same nine attributes that drive the game. Paul is rated 77 overall and plays as a Shotmaker.

Why these ratings

Paul Way's profile is defined by driving distance (78) — the standout number in the card. As a Shotmaker, Paul shapes the ball and manufactures scores rather than overpowering a course — short game 76, iron play 77. Creative recovery makes this style thrive when a hole looks lost.

Ryder Cup strengths

Paul's biggest weapons are Driving (78) — solid driving distance; Pressure (78) — solid pressure; Accuracy (77) — solid driving accuracy. These are the attributes to lean on when picking sessions and pairings.

Weaknesses to manage

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

Best format

On the ratings, Paul'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.
