2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson appeared to be on his way up after a strong sophomore campaign in 2024, but he never really found the magic in 2025. As is often the case with young golfers that pick up their first win, his game fell off a bit the following season. This happens because the pressure of retaining their card is off for two years. This is year two however, so if Thompson wants to retain his playing priveleges for 2027, he'll have to earn it this season. Normally that pressure is enough to snap the golfer out of whatever funk they found themselves in and that should hold true for Thompson this season. Luckily for those playing in salary cap leagues, Thompson's number dropped pretty low this past season, making him a solid play this year. Read Past Outlooks
Narrowly misses playoffs
August 4, 2025
Thompson posted a two-under 68 on Sunday at the Wyndham Championship to finish in a share of 11th place.
ANALYSIS
Thompson began the week in 78th place in the FedExCup Standings and entered the final round in the top-10 of the tournament after starting with three consecutive rounds in the 60s. Looking to climb into the top-70, he three-putted the 72nd hole for bogey and dropped to 71st to be the first man out of the playoffs. Thompson led the field for the week in SG: Off-the-tee. Despite the result, his PGA Tour card is locked up through next year as he won the John Deere Classic in 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Thompson had an excellent start to his rookie season with two top-15s in his first three events and a runner-up finish at The American Express in January. The momentum stalled from there, however, as he failed to record a top-10 the rest of the year. The 24-year-old is fueled by his driving play, as he is long off-the-tee (31st in driving distance) and fairly accurate having ranked 90th in driving accuracy. Considering the other areas of his game are all around Tour average, some slight improvements across the board along with a year under his belt on the main stage could lead to an improved second season.
Ranking fourth on the Korn Ferry Tour in total driving and 14th in ball striking, Thompson finished 14th on the regular season points list and he won early-June's REX Hospital Open to secure his maiden PGA Tour card. The 23-year-old University of Georgia product retains rookie eligibility despite 13 career starts at the PGA Tour level, notably notching a top-25 as an amateur at the 2019 RSM Classic. He's a former No. 1 player in the Amateur World Golf Ranking and was twice named first-team All-American in college. The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder profiles as a potential ROY candidate if the short game cooperates against tougher competition.
