Blessed with a swing that is the envy of many of his DP World Tour counterparts, Angel Ayora appears destined for the top of the game.
In a sport where success is often defined by fine margins, to make such an assertion may be foolhardy.
But his potential has already caught the eye of many in golf.
Last season, in his rookie campaign on the DP World Tour after graduating from the HotelPlanner Tour in 2024, Ayora recorded ten top tens to finish 20th on the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World.
As a result, he finished one spot behind France's Martin Couvra, who in turn pipped him to the prestigious Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award.
At 21 years old, he is the big hope for Spanish golf. And while a maiden DP World Tour title may thus far be elusive, it's surely not a matter of if, but when it happens.
Ayora's countryman Pablo Larrazábal, twice his age at 42, has played with and against many of the world's best and says his technique ranks among the elite.
Speaking during a recent visit to the DP World Tour's broadcast booth in Kenya last month, the nine-time winner said: "This is the best swing in the world. There are no better swings than this one.
"I've played with all of them, other than Phil Mickelson, but I played with Tiger [Woods] and all of them. This kid is top three of the players who've impressed me the most."
Instrumental in nurturing Ayora's precocious talent in recent years is Juan Ochoa, his coach and caddie.
From gym workouts to putting drills and technique processes, Ochoa is the man who has overseen his development from talented junior to competing on the global stage on the DP World Tour.
The pair were side by side for Ayora's sole international victory as a professional to date - at the Rosa Challenge Tour in Poland in September 2024, his first year in the paid ranks.
Two years earlier, he had made the cut on his DP World Tour debut as an amateur on home soil at the 2022 Estrella Damm NA Andalucía Masters at Valderamma, where he grew up watching the game as a child.
Understated and softly spoken in interviews, Ayora is managed by Javier Ballesteros - son of the late, great Seve Ballesteros.
While Ayora never saw the former World Number One and five-time Major winner play in his prime, he is, like for many Spanish golfers, an idol and a source of inspiration.
With three top tens in his last four starts during the International Swing, which concluded last weekend, Ayora has climbed to a career-high 103rd in the Official World Golf Ranking.
It was at the recent Investec South African Open Championship where Eddie Pepperell got a first proper sight of the Spaniard, playing alongside the rising star in the third round at Stellenbosch Golf Club.
Pepperell, a two-time DP World Tour winner, was left in little doubt about just how far Ayora can go in the game.
"Hits the ball a mile, effortlessly," said the Englishman on a recent episode of The Chipping Forecast podcast.
"He reminds me of... I played with Nicolai Højgaard the year he won [his first DP World Tour title] in Italy in 2021. It was very similar, effortless power.
"His floor is incredibly high already, I would say that about Angel Ayora. His ceiling is going to depend on his short game, a bit of putting and frankly his cojones, his ability to just step up in the moment and just do it.
"And that can evolve and I think it will. He has got an awful lot about him, his game. He is very much a top-five player in the world in a matter of years I would say.
"He is technically very sound. As I say, the sky is the limit for that kid.
"I wouldn't say he is quite at the Jon Rahm level. When I first saw Jon play and hit balls, I thought 'wow, that's Rory-esque but he is very close to [that]. Very exciting for Spanish golf, quite frankly."
High praise.
Indeed, we saw his potential to compete against the very best during last season's DP World Tour Play-Offs in the UAE.
Over back-to-back weeks at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and the DP World Tour Championship, Ayora finished ninth and eighth respectively - results that helped him come to golf's wider awareness.
After coming close to securing dual membership with the PGA TOUR for this year, his mission to continue his career development stateside next year is a clear objective.
Since making his season debut at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in honour of Gary Player in December, Ayora has played in every event on the schedule.
And there's no stopping him, with a confirmed appearance at next week's Hainan Classic presented by MAEXTRO next to come after the ongoing rest week.
While there will no doubt be bigger stages as the year progresses, the world is watching.
