2025 Fantasy Outlook
Oddly, Echavarria posted wins in his first two PGA Tour seasons, yet this past season, when he failed to win, was by far his most lucrative regular season, earning more in 2025 than he did in the previous two years combined. The reason for this is that his win in 2023 was at an opposite field event and his win in 2024 came during the fall. Often times when a golfer is only winning against weak fields, he fails to make the jump to be competitive against better fields, but Echavarria made that leap this past season, posting a runner-up at the Sony Open and a T6 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Those aren't the strongest of fields, but it's better than what you normally see in the fall. Speaking of the fall, Echavarria continued his strong play this past season well into the fall, providing hope that he can continue his ascention up the PGA Tour ladder this season. Echavarria appears to have enough upside to make him a valuable salary cap selection this season. Read Past Outlooks

Third in SG: OTT at Bay Hill
March 10, 2026
Echavarria closed with a one-over 73 on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to finish two-over and tied for 44th.
ANALYSIS
Echavarria made the cut on the number at Bay Hill after following up his win at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches with a shaky 72-74 stretch during the first two rounds of the API. He ultimately finished the Signature Event ranked third among the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and 10th in putts per GIR en route to 17 total birdies, but he lost 5.78 strokes around the green while converting just nine of 25 scrambling opportunities. Echavarria drops two spots to eighth in the early FedExCup standings ahead of THE PLAYERS Championship.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Echavarria secured three top-25 finishes, including a win, in his debut season on the PGA Tour. His victory came at the 2023 Puerto Rico Open, but beyond that event, Echavarria faced challenges, making only five out of 28 cuts with an average finish ranking beyond the top-85. The 29-year-old is a below-average performer inn all facets of the game, significantly trailing his peers in all shots-gained metrics.
The 28-year-old Colombian played his collegiate golf at the University of Arkansas before eventually appearing in 90 Korn Ferry Tour events since 2019, tallying 18 total top-25 finishes in the process. Perhaps none were more important than his T5 at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, however, which earned him a PGA Tour card for the first time. Echavarria ranked eighth on the KFT in putting average and 16th in par-4 scoring.
