2025 Fantasy Outlook
After finishing the regular season outside of the top 100 in the FedExCup, Hoey switch to a long putter to start the fall and the results followed with six top-25s including four top-10s across seven starts. His ball-striking numbers jump off the page as Scottie Scheffler was the only other golfer to rank in the top 10 in SG: Off-the-Tee and approach in 2025. A bit of a late bloomer having spent five years at the lower level before graduating to the PGA Tour, Hoey looks to be a pretty obvious breakout candidate that still needs to prove that the putting woes are behind him and that he can compete against elite talent. We're betting he will. Read Past Outlooks
Doesn't make cut at The Genesis
February 23, 2026
Hoey missed the cut by two strokes at The Genesis Invitational after posting a two-over cumulative score.
ANALYSIS
Hoey opened the tournament with a two-over 73 first round, but he looked like he would work his way to the weekend after going three-under on the front nine of the second round. Unfortunately for the 30-year-old Puerto Rican, things fell apart on the back nine, where he posted a double bogey and two bogeys from holes 12 through 15. Hoey will look to bounce back next week at the Cognizant Classic, where he made the cut in each of his two prior outings (T56 in 2024 and T25 in 2025).

5 PGA Stats That Mean the Most to Fantasy Golf Players
29 days ago
Learn which PGA stats matter most for fantasy golf success and how to use them to improve picks, projections and lineup decisions all season long.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hoey's maiden Korn Ferry Tour victory arrived not long after he began the 2023 season with top-10 results in half of his first 10 outings, eventually winning the Visit Knoxville Open in late May. The former University of Southern California standout becomes a PGA Tour rookie at 28 years old, and his patience could pay off in a big way if the driver continues to cooperate. He paced the entire KFT in total driving and ranked fourth in par-5 scoring throughout the 2023 campaign, but the putter remains a concern.
