2026 Fantasy Outlook
Smotherman made 76 total starts on the PGA Tour from 2021 to 2024 before spending his 2025 campaign on the Korn Ferry Tour, where he posted seven top-10s and 13 top-25s across 24 starts, highlighted by a couple wins at the BMW Charity Pro-Am and the Memorial Health Championship. The 31-year-old ranked top 8 among his KFT peers in total driving, driving accuracy and GIR percentage, but 29.71 putts per round probably won't get the job done at the next level. Smotherman's momentum also waned down the stretch, placing no better than T38 throughout his last six outings, which included a trio of missed cuts as well. Read Past Outlooks
