I think Joaquin Niemann will win one for Chile one day, but that might be at least half a decade away.

Same with Viktor Hovland from Norway. He will almost certainly be a major winner one day but as he's only a year older than Niemann, this win may be years away too.

Most likely Hovland, so Norway. Chile also a possibility, if Niemann wins one, although I’m really not that convinced he’s a major winner eventually. A good wild card could be Denmark with Rasmus Hojgaard.

Ancer for Mexico would be my next guess.

I think Mexico could be a possibility with Ortiz, but I hope they wouldn’t count Ancer as Mexico. He’s from Texas. Plays under the Mexican flag because it helps his career and he’s obviously prideful for his ancestry, but I’m pretty sure he’s lived his whole life in the USA.

Edit: Looks like Ancer might’ve lived part of his life in Mexico according to his Wikipedia page.
