2025 Fantasy Outlook

No other 2025 rookie notched more top-25 results (7) than Castillo, whose maiden PGA Tour campaign was highlighted by a solo-third place effort at the season-ending RSM Classic where he paced the field in putts per GIR en route to 30 total par-breakers. Castillo's putting magic in the finale vaulted him to 102nd in the FedExCup Fall standings, earning him much more beneficial conditional status than originally expected for 2026. Ranking top 40 among his peers in both SG: Off-the-Tee and GIR percentage, the 24-year-old University of Florida product remains a sneaky click in daily fantasy contests. Read Past Outlooks

Wins Puerto Rico Open

March 8, 2026

Castillo posted a 17-under cumulative score at the Puerto Rico Open to win the tournament by one stroke over Chandler Blanchet.

ANALYSIS
Castillo was the most steady golfer in the field at Puerto Rico. His bogey on the par-3 second hole in the second round was his last of the tournament, as he went par or better over the final 52 holes, culminating in a five-under 67 score Sunday. While Castillo had accuracy troubles off the tee, he led the field in scrambling (90.48 percent) and ranked T18 in birdies made. It was the first PGA Tour victory in the 25-year-old's career and first tournament win since the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open on the Korn Ferry Tour in June of 2023. Castillo is in the field for THE PLAYERS Championship next week, where he missed the cut in his lone appearance in 2025.
