2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cole was unable to carry the momentum from his first two years on Tour into 2025, finishing 76th on the points list despite being qualified for all of the Signature Events. He played a busy schedule once again, teeing-it-up in 32+ events for a third consecutive year, but his four top-10s all came in lesser tiered events. The main problem for Cole is that he's a poor driver of the ball, ranking outside the top 130 in distance and accuracy. His ceiling is capped as a result, even if he does a good job making up for it with the other aspects of the game. Read Past Outlooks
Second top-10 this fall
November 9, 2025
Cole posted a seven-under 65 on Sunday at the World Wide Technology Championship to finish in solo 10th place.
ANALYSIS
Cole had a mostly uneventful final round going as he was only two-under through 13 holes until he birdied each of the final five holes for the top-10 result. He carded just three bogeys all tournament and ranked in the top-10 in GIR and scrambling. It's Cole's second top-10 finish this fall and moves him up to 74th in the FedExCup Fall Standings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Cole's rookie season didn't start off strongly, with missed cuts in his first four outings and no top-25 finishes in his initial 10 starts. However, a runner-up finish at the Honda Classic provided a much-needed boost. Ultimately, he concluded the season just shy of the top-30. Cole achieved this with several high-end finishes, but it was primarily his consistent performance that enabled him to earn over $5 million. Notably, he had a streak of making 14 consecutive cuts from June through October, positioning him well for a promising sophomore year. The downside, however, is that his impressive debut has set expectations too high for consideration in salary cap leagues this season.
Cole paced the Korn Ferry Tour in putts per round while ranking second in putting average and third in Birdie or Better conversion percentage throughout the 2022 season, but his concerning ball-striking metrics indicate a potentially difficult transition to the PGA Tour level. Nonetheless, he tied for the third at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship to earn his card for the 2022-23 campaign. He's made three previous appearances on the PGA Tour, including a top-25 finish at the 2021 Corales Championship.
