Haotong Li

ANALYSIS
After missing the cut at the Scottish Open last week, Li was able to brush that off and get right back to the strong ball-striking he showed throughout much of 2025 on the DP World Tour. He ended up claiming a spot in the final pairing alongside Scottie Scheffler on Sunday and really seemed to embrace the challenge. Li opened with a birdie at the first hole, but then gave it right back on the par-5 2nd. That was a bit of the story of his final round, unfortunately, but late birdies at 15 and 17 did help him earn a top-4 finish, and with that an invite to the 2026 Masters. Li had not played in a major since 2022 prior to this week, and hadn't made a cut since the 2020 PGA Championship. Safe to say the 29-year-old has gained a lot of confidence and he will hope to close the season strong on the DP World Tour and earn a PGA Tour card for 2026.
