2025 Fantasy Outlook
Novak had a breakout season in 2025 collecting nine top-15 finishes, including his first PGA Tour victory at the Zurich Classic with Ben Griffin. He also nearly bagged another victory at a signature event in the RBC Heritage, but fell to Justin Thomas in a playoff. Many thought Novak was in a good spot to make the Ryder Cup team, but his performance tailed off over the second half of the season. The 30-year-old ranked outside the top 70 in SG: Total and adjusted scoring average in 2025, which didn't really match up to where he ended up in earnings. The ball striking for Novak has to be better in 2026 if he's going to be a more consistent player. Last season he was outside the top 150 in total driving and GIR percentage. Read Past Outlooks
Ties for 25th at East Lake
August 26, 2025
Novak closed with an even-par 70 on Sunday at the TOUR Championship to finish four-under and tied for 25th.
ANALYSIS
Novak ranked fifth among the field in total feet of putts made and 11th in SG: Approach, but he lost 3.9 strokes off the tee and another 2.9 strokes putting in his East Lake debut. His 30 fairways in regulation were a tournament low as well. Nonetheless, Novak has racked up 11 top-25s across 26 events played in 2025, highlighted by a win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the heels of a playoff loss at the RBC Heritage.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Bolstered by ninth-place finishes at the Verlo Texas Open and the RBC Canadian Open, Novak salvaged a medicore year, but relatively solid considering he's only played a full PGA Tour schedule for two seasons. Novak took a step forward in his driving effectivenss, which was his Achilles heel last year. An apt putter, Novak will continue to improve as he works on other aspects of his game.
Novak didn’t have a particularly notable rookie season, but he did just enough to earn fully exempt status for 2023. It will be interesting to monitor the 27-year-old American heading into his second full year on Tour. His strengths are his scrambling and putting. Perhaps he can add some distance and consistency to his game this offseason. Historically, Novak makes just over half of his PGA cuts.
Novak's 10 top-10s on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020-21 included a win at the 2020 LECOM Suncoast Classic where he played his final 54 holes in 20-under par. Additionally, the 26-year-old made the cut in 10 of his last 11 KFT starts dating to a T9 at the REX Hospital Open. However, Novak ranked 64th or worse on the Korn Ferry Tour in driving distance and GIR percentage.
