2025 Fantasy Outlook
It's not often to find a 24-year-old with as much experience as Hojgaard. The 2023 Ryder Cupper is entering his fourth year on Tour after finishing 88th on the points list. That feels a bit lower than he should be, but Hojgaard typically doesn't play stateside until February and spends most of the fall on the DP World Tour. Although he's yet to win on the PGA Tour, he has the type of game that makes you think it's only a matter of time. He ranked third in driving distance and 11th in SG: Approach ,which helped lead to a pair of top-10s on each Tour. Consistency can be an issue at times, but the ceiling should give fantasy managers plenty to be excited about. Read Past Outlooks

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hojgaard earned special temporary status on the PGA Tour after his first start where he finished runner-up in Punta Cana. He added four top-25s in a five start stretch later in the season to virtually solidfy that he would have full status for 2024 via non-member points. The 22-year-old also impressed the world at the Ryder Cup as a rookie. The Dane has three career DP World Tour wins, one of which was the 2023 DP World Tour Championship. Hojgaard will be one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour and he also ranks fourth in approaches from 50-125 yards and eighth in putts per GIR show that he is already starting to round out his entire game. The upside here is extremely high, but a full season on the PGA Tour will certainly test him mentally.
