Scouting report: Tony Jacklin

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

Why these ratings

Tony Jacklin's profile is defined by pressure (80) — the standout number in the card. As a Precision player, Tony prioritises finding fairways and greens — accuracy 78, iron play 79. That control is gold in foursomes, where mistakes are shared, and on tight courses that punish the crooked driver.

Ryder Cup strengths

Tony's biggest weapons are Pressure (80) — solid pressure; Irons (79) — solid iron play; Accuracy (78) — 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 Driving (74) and Focus (76). In match play these are the areas an opponent will target, and the reason pairing Tony with a complementary partner matters.

Best format

On the ratings, Tony'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.
