Power Rankings: THE PRIMETIME Championship
Power Rankings For THE PRIMETIME Championship (2026)
Posted: 3/25/2026
16
Marc Dispenza
The highest handicap in the field coming off a rough year, but all eyes are on the bounce-back. If Dispenza finds anything resembling form, he instantly becomes the most dangerous 16 seed in Tour history.
15
Casey Rutkey (R)
Complete unknown entering his rookie season, which makes him intriguing—but until we see it on the course, he starts near the bottom. Has a chance to climb quickly with even one solid showing.
14
Mike Remley (R)
Another rookie with upside, but zero Tour reps keeps him low for now. The raw ability is there—now it’s about proving it under CGA Tour pressure.
13
Nate Peacock (R)
Peacock enters the Tour with high expectations and even higher confidence. If he brings any consistency, he won’t stay in this spot for long.
12
Jake Cleary (R)
A steady game with sneaky upside, but the question is whether he can handle the moment. Feels like a guy who could quietly jump into the top 8 by midseason.
11
AJ Pearl
Flashes of competitiveness in 2025 but still searching for a breakthrough. Needs to prove he can contend late in the season, not just hang around early.
10
Colin Ford
Always around the middle of the pack, but still chasing that signature moment. Consistency is there—now it’s about turning top-5s into something more.
9
Kyle Monroe (R)
The highest-ranked rookie based purely on potential and expectations. If he lives up to the hype, this ranking will look way too low very quickly.
8
Matt Palardy
Another dominating performance in both Majors in 2025, proving he can get it done when he shows up. The issue? Showing up consistently.
7
Brandon Bahr
A winner of THE PRIMETIME Championship in 2024. High ceiling, proven winner, but availability and inconsistency in the later half of the 2025 season held him back. If he commits to a full season, he’s a legit top-5 threat.
6
Christian Benzing
One of the most consistent players on Tour, always lurking near the top. The only thing missing is a statement win to finally break through.
5
Reed Oettinger
A Tour Championship winner with undeniable pedigree, but still feels slightly volatile week-to-week. When he’s on, he can beat anyone—when he’s not, things can unravel fast.
4
Sean McKenzie
Riding momentum from a strong stretch and a win, McKenzie has quietly become one of the most dangerous players in the field. Trending firmly upward.
3
Ryan Grimaldi
A breakout 2025 campaign, including a playoff loss in THE PRIMETIME Championship, puts him firmly in the elite tier. If he keeps this trajectory, he’s knocking on the door of the top spot.
2
Jackson Lathrop
The ultimate competitor and big-stage performer, with dominant wins across multiple seasons. When the lights are brightest, there’s no one more feared.
1
Noah Alviti
The gold standard of the CGA Tour—consistent, clutch, and always in contention. Until someone takes it from him, this is still Alviti’s Tour and event as he looks to defend his PRIMETIME title this month.
