2025 Fantasy Outlook
Novak's third season on Tour was his best one yet, and although he didn't do enough to qualify for the playoffs, he made a solid 19-of-26 cuts with five top-10s. His biggest improvement was with his iron play, where he went from 99th in SG: Approach last year to 23rd in 2024. There aren't any glaring weaknesses in his game, and the biggest question heading into 2025 will be if he can work his way into contention more often and play better against stronger fields. He's a sleeper option with potential to continue to improve. Read Past Outlooks
Bid for first win slips away
April 6, 2025
Novak had to settle for a share of third place after shooting a four-over 76 in the final round of the Valero Texas Open.
ANALYSIS
Novak was the main challenger to Brian Harman for much of the final round, but ultimately just made too many mistakes in his bid for his first victory on Tour. Novak started with birdies on two of the first five holes, but closed on the front with bogeys on three of four holes. It wasn't much better on the back-nine as he birdied the par-5 14th, but made bogeys at 13, 15, 17 and 18 to slide down to T3. Harman's experience just seemed to win out and he didn't make the same number of mistakes as Novak. This was still a big week for Novak who was able to recover after not cracking the top-30 in his last five starts. He will move up to 26th in the FedExCup standings, but he needed a win to make it to The Masters next week. We'll see Novak come back the following week at the RBC Heritage, however.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Bolstered by ninth-place finishes at the Verlo Texas Open and the RBC Canadian Open, Novak salvaged a medicore year, but relatively solid considering he's only played a full PGA Tour schedule for two seasons. Novak took a step forward in his driving effectivenss, which was his Achilles heel last year. An apt putter, Novak will continue to improve as he works on other aspects of his game.
Novak didn’t have a particularly notable rookie season, but he did just enough to earn fully exempt status for 2023. It will be interesting to monitor the 27-year-old American heading into his second full year on Tour. His strengths are his scrambling and putting. Perhaps he can add some distance and consistency to his game this offseason. Historically, Novak makes just over half of his PGA cuts.
Novak's 10 top-10s on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020-21 included a win at the 2020 LECOM Suncoast Classic where he played his final 54 holes in 20-under par. Additionally, the 26-year-old made the cut in 10 of his last 11 KFT starts dating to a T9 at the REX Hospital Open. However, Novak ranked 64th or worse on the Korn Ferry Tour in driving distance and GIR percentage.
