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
Putting struggles at Pebble Beach
Novak finished in a four-way tie for 48th at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am after carding a nine-under cumulative score.
ANALYSIS
Novak opened the tournament nicely with a bogey-free, seven-under 65 in the first round that included a five-under stretch from holes two to six with three birdies and an eagle. The 30-year-old American stalled over the next two days but opened Sunday with a five-under front nine before going one-over on the back which included two bogeys over the final three holes. Novak ranked 15th in the field in SG: Off-the-Tee and T17 in GIR, though he struggled mightily with the putter, losing nearly five strokes on the green. It's been an up-and-down start to 2026 for Novak, who missed the cut at The American Express and WM Phoenix Open, with a T7 finish at the Farmers Insurance Open nestled in between. He is not in the field for The Genesis Invitational next week.

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.
