2025 Fantasy Outlook
Griffin was one of the biggest breakout stars in 2025. He won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event alongside Andrew Novak and then won the Charles Schwab Challenge for his first individual PGA Tour title. He closed out the year with win No. 3 at the World Wide Technology Championship in the fall. Griffin also took Scottie Scheffler to the brink at The Memorial Tournament and the Procore Championship. He ended the campaign with 17 top-20 finishes and was top 5 in both SG: Total and adjusted scoring average. Griffin played 30 total events in 2025, a pretty sizable difference from a lot of the other top players in earnings. That will likely dip in 2026 as he transitions from a middle of the road player who needs to play every event he can, to a guy who can set his schedule and make sure he is at his best for the biggest events. Griffin doesn't seem like a player at age 29 who will fall off given the makeup of his game. There is not a single weakness throughout the bag and he's played well enough on some tought golf courses to think that one day he could be a major champion. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Griffin had a very strong rookie season this past year, but he seemed to hit a wall when things picked up in March. That's not that unusual for rookies however as they generally play better in the fall that they do in the spring or summer. Griffin did post a top-15 at the Arnold Palmer, which was an elevated event, so he is capable of competing against the best, but he'll have to do more of that going forward if he's to take it to the next level. Griffin makes for an interesting salary cap selection this season as he has just one season under his belt, but considering how he played, we could see a jump this year.
A two-time All-American Scholar at UNC with a BA in economics, Griffin spent time working as a mortgage loan officer in 2021 before earning status on the Korn Ferry Tour, which he parlayed into official earnings of $262,549 through 22 events played during the 2022 season. Griffin tallied three second-place finishes en route to his eighth-place ranking in the KFT Regular Season Eligibility Points List, and he also ranked eighth in putting average. Griffin made an additional $357,700 with a fourth-place effort at the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship in early August where he played his final 36 holes in 12-under-par, though he missed five consecutive cuts to close out the KFT campaign.
