He is going for his 18th win(10 on major tours) as a pro today and he's only just 26.

2007 European Tour Rookie of the Year

2008 2 wins

2009 2 wins (missed last few months of the season due to go-karting injury)

2010 4 wins including a major and also was a rookie at the Ryder Cup. Won money list.

2011 World Number 1

I believe he definitely has the potential to get 8-9 majors under his belt

What does everyone else think?

Well thats though to answer - but since his current game got him to Nr. 1 - why would you change ANYTHING in your game - just as so many people did and now struggeling with it.

Just keep it as it is, and go your way and things will develop from there.

When I did an article on Kaymer a few weeks ago, one of the things that I noticed was just how hot he can get. He might be one of only three players in the world (with Tiger and Phil) who has the capacity to really just catch fire and start rattling off wins, no matter what tour he is playing on.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I didn't realize he's won that much already.  I wonder if he does become an 8-9 major winner will anyone stick around to watch?

As hot as he is he should be number one for a while. He has the tools and seems to have the mentality to be a dominant force. I am not sure about that many majors as that is off the charts.

He is a really good player and got more potential than the average multiple tour winner. Reaching the number one spot on the OWGR this week is a good feat, he's played well for a long time now. Not the most animate player out there, but he plays good golf. He makes few mistakes and are able to score low when he gets going, I've been a fan ever since I saw him a tournament some years ago on the Euro Tour.

A better question would probably how long can he continue to play at a level that would keep him at #1.  You could make the argument that he could use a little more consistency in terms of ballstriking and he could use to start making more of his longer putts but if it were me, Id dont think Id be messing with my swing much.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
