The consistency showed by Donald since the start of 2005 is quite remarkable. He has missed just one halfway cut and only recorded two performances rated above 70.00 by Pro Golf Form. Such consistency is indicative of a measured and controlled golfer who has superb course management skills. Add to this the fact that the 2005 season was the first in which Donald competed in all four majors and you can begin to see that there is still plenty of room for improvement. Donald's game is characterised by steady play from tee to green. His game is all about course management, placing the ball in the right spot and playing the percentages. It's an approach that should ensure he is regularly in contention. Couple this with growing mental confidence and he can be expected to win many more titles over the coming years, including major championships. Donald's game is best suited to the US Open championship and this probably represents his best chance of major glory, although don't rule him out in the other majors. In short, Luke Donald is a massive talent, and with growing confidence he is sure to become a major player in the golf world over the coming years. Of course, much of Donald's success will be dependent on the form of Tiger Woods, but of all the young pretenders out there, Luke Donald has arguably the greatest chance of asking the most questions of Woods. Luke Donald is going to be big.
