2026 Fantasy Outlook
Novak had a breakout season in 2025 collecting nine top-15 finishes, including his first PGA Tour victory at the Zurich Classic with Ben Griffin. He also nearly bagged another victory at a signature event in the RBC Heritage, but fell to Justin Thomas in a playoff. Many thought Novak was in a good spot to make the Ryder Cup team, but his performance tailed off over the second half of the season. The 30-year-old ranked outside the top 70 in SG: Total and adjusted scoring average in 2025, which didn't really match up to where he ended up in earnings. The ball striking for Novak has to be better in 2026 if he's going to be a more consistent player. Last season he was outside the top 150 in total driving and GIR percentage. Read Past Outlooks
Ranks 10th in SG: Putting at API
March 10, 2026
Novak carded a one-under 71 on Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to finish even-par and tied for 38th.
ANALYSIS
Novak ranked third among the field in SG: Putting during Sunday's final round at Bay Hill, and he finished the Signature Event eighth in total feet of putts made. However, he was just 44th of 50 in SG: Ballstriking, ultimately tallying nine bogeys and two doubles across 72 holes in Orlando. Novak has gained over three strokes with the flat stick in back-to-back starts ahead of THE PLAYERS Championship, but he missed the cut in each of his first three career TPC Sawgrass appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
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.
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.
