2025 Fantasy Outlook
Highsmith struggled as a rookie in 2023, so much so that he lost his card for the following season. One start at the Cognizant Classic in February changed his fate for the next two years, however. Highsmith somehow won that event and secured his card for the next two seasons. He failed to show any consistency after that, but he did managed to post top-20s at the PLAYERS and the PGA Championship. In that sense, it was a dream year for Highsmith after struggling so much in his firs go-round on the PGA Tour. Highsmith was one of the great stories from 2025, but it's hard to imagine he can improve upon his performance from this past year this season. As such, he's not a salary cap candidate this season.

Slump continues into 2026
February 17, 2026
Highsmith carded an even-par 72 on Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish two-over and tied for 75th.
ANALYSIS
Highsmith ranked just 78th of 80 in SG: Tee-to-Green throughout his week at the season's first Signature Event, and he's now gone 16 consecutive starts without a single top-50 result dating back to a missed cut at last July's John Deere Classic. He's dropped from 112th to No. 126 in the OWGR since the turn of the calendar year, and Highsmith failed to qualify for the upcoming Genesis Invitational.
