2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eckroat looked to be an up-and-coming player after winning twice in 2024, but he regressed to the mean with only four top-25s across 27 events while failing to post a top-10. The weakness in his game has always been his around the green play, where he ranked 176th in 2025. He's done his best to hide it with above average ball striking, ranking 55th in SG: Off-the-Tee and 54th this past season, but even that wasn't good enough. Eckroat will need to improve on his 119th place finish in the FedExCup next year to retain his card with his two-year exemption winding down, and the potential is there for him to have a bounce back campaign.

Top-12 finish in Napa
September 15, 2025
Eckroat carded a final round one-under 71 Sunday at the Procore Championship to finish in a share of 11th place.
ANALYSIS
Eckroat was consistent all week shooting under par in all four rounds, but it was his driving that really dictated whether he had the opportunity to score. In both the first and the third rounds, Eckroat ranked first and in a tie for forth in SG: Off the Tee, gaining on average 1.52 strokes on the field, while shooting a combined eight-under par. Compare that to the second and final rounds, where Eckroat ranked 71st and 54th in SG: Off the Tee, losing nearly a half a stroke to the field and shooting a combined three-under par. While Eckroat seemed to be hot and cold off the tee, he still was able to grind out a top-12 finish to start his fall season off on the right foot.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Eckroat was one of the marquee rookies on Tour last season following a storied amateur career, and he showed flashes with a runner-up and four top-10 finishes. He also dealt with inconsistency with 17 cuts made and 15 missed cuts. His ball-striking ability shows signs of promise as he was 34th in strokes-gained off-the-tee and also gained shots on approach. A top-10 at the U.S. Open shows that his game holds up against difficult setups and tough competition, but the lack of an elite skill currently leaves the question of if he'll be able to take a major step forward in his sophomore campaign.
Despite ranking top-10 on the Korn Ferry Tour in scoring average, GIR percentage and birdie average this past season, Eckroat finished outside of the top 25 in the regular season points list. However, the 23-year-old Oklahoma State product clutched up with a runner-up effort at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship to earn his PGA Tour card for the first time. He appeared in nine PGA Tour events over the past two seasons, notably securing top-25s at the Bermuda Championship and the 3M Open in 2021.
