2026 Fantasy Outlook
Eckroat looked to be an up-and-coming player after winning twice in 2024, but he regressed to the mean with only four top-25s across 27 events while failing to post a top-10. The weakness in his game has always been his around the green play, where he ranked 176th in 2025. He's done his best to hide it with above average ball striking, ranking 55th in SG: Off-the-Tee and 54th this past season, but even that wasn't good enough. Eckroat will need to improve on his 119th place finish in the FedExCup next year to retain his card with his two-year exemption winding down, and the potential is there for him to have a bounce back campaign.

T40 at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson
Eckroat carded an even-par 71 on Sunday at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to finish 12-under and tied for 40th.
ANALYSIS
Eckroat racked up six final-round birdies despite hitting only 10 of 18 greens in regulation Sunday, though he converted just two of eight scrambling opportunities en route to six bogeys. For the week, he ranked just 55th of 70 in SG: Tee-to-Green, but Eckroat finished seventh in putting percentage from 10-plus feet while gaining 3.19 strokes with the flat stick. Eckroat has now placed top-40 in five consecutive starts dating back to the Texas Children's Houston Open, and he'll be in the field again this week for the Charles Schwab Challenge where he's finished T46-MC-T16 in three previous Colonial Country Club outings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Eckroat had quite an interesting start to his PGA Tour career in 2023. He missed a bunch of cuts, but then got hot for a stretch and secured his card for 2024. Entering this past season his inconsistency was a bit worrisome, but he improved his cuts made percentage went from just under 60% in 2023 to just under 80% in 2024. He also happened upon his first PGA Tour win early in 2024 before notching another one in the fall. The result was nearly a $2.5 million improvement in earnings and what looks to be a solid foundation to a long career. The question entering this season is, can he continue this upward trend? It's certainly possible, after all, he ranked 129th in SG: Putting this past season, so even though he overperformed on most ball-striking metrics, there's still room to improve on the greens.
