2025 Fantasy Outlook
Todd has been one of the more erratic players on the PGA Tour over the past decade. He's won three times, finished inside the top-30 twice and once played an entire schedule and failed to earn $100k. Todd had early success on the PGA Tour, but he lost his edge in 2016 and didn't pull out of it until 2020. That year he won two more titles and set a foundation for the coming years. He's avoided the tailspin in the years since, but his game is still all over the place. He posted a career-high in earnings in 2023, and although he finished in the top-70 against this past year, his numbers were well off the pace in 2023. The reason was because of where he played well and didn't play well. Todd's upside is probably higher than most his age, but there's certainly a big element of risk involved, not as much as there used to be, but it's still there. As such, he's an option in salary cap leagues, but only for those that like to take chances. Read Past Outlooks
T57 at Bermuda Championship
November 19, 2024
Todd fired a two-under 69 on Sunday at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship to finish three-under and tied for 57th.
ANALYSIS
Todd ranked dead last among those who made the cut in GIR percentage at Port Royal, but he managed to convert 22 of 31 scrambling opportunities to ultimately finish T6 in total pars. He's now placed T44 or worse in all four of his starts throughout the FedExCup Fall, though he remains top-75 in the standings at No. 72. Todd will peg it again this week at The RSM Classic where he's a career 7-for-10 in cuts made, highlighted by a solo-fourth at Sea Island in 2019.

Todd was seldom great this past season, but he was consistent and he gave himself plenty of chances to make money. Todd made the cut in over 77% of his starts this past season and he parlayed that into seven top-10s, three of which ended inside the top-3. Todd has been through some wild swings in his career, but it appears as though where he ended this past season is his ceiling. He did record two wins in one season a few years ago, but wins on the PGA Tour have been few and far between for Todd. As such, he's not a good salary cap option this season.
It's pretty easy to know what you're going to get out of Todd, as the Tour veteran makes up for being one of the shortest hitters with excellent putting. He's lost strokes from tee-to-green in each of the last seven seasons but has still managed to make over two-thirds of his cuts the last three seasons. Todd will never be the most enticing pick but is someone to target as a cut maker on shorter courses.
Todd came back to Earth a bit last season after an incredible two-win campaign the season before. Todd had just three top-10s and ended the season by missing four of his last five cuts. His putter was still very strong, but he loses so many strokes off the tee and approaching the greens due to his lack of length. There just isn't a whole lot of upside unless Todd gets red hot with the putter on shorter courses.
Exceeding all expectations throughout a bounce-back beyond belief during the 2019-20 season, Todd notched back-to-back wins in November at the Bermuda Championship and Mayakoba Golf Classic after missing four consecutive cuts from the Greenbrier through the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open to begin the fall series. A rapid rise to the top spot in the FedEx Cup standings at the time didn't bother Todd, as he immediately collected another top-5 at the RSM Classic following his victories. He would contend here and there throughout the remainder of the season but a couple Sunday meltdowns caused him to fall to 156th in Round 4 scoring average. Nonetheless, it's been quite a resurgence for the 35-year-old who contemplated leaving the game altogether after missing 39 of 44 cuts across a three-year span from 2016-18. Todd is top 6 on Tour in driving accuracy, scrambling and one-putt percentage.
Todd amassed a substantial $5,205,939 in earnings over a two-season stretch in 2014 and 2015, but it's since been quite a struggle for the 34-year-old. He's missed the cut in a whopping 41 of his last 55 starts dating back to the 2016 season, though he did notch a quartet of top-25s in 2019 before also tying for second at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship during the Korn Ferry Tour Finals to retain status on the PGA Tour. Todd fell outside of the top-1000 in the Official World Golf Ranking after missing the cut at the U.S. Open in June, but he's back up to No. 506 heading into the 2019-20 opener.
Todd was fairly consistent the entire season last year, but it was one incredible stretch that set him apart from most of his peers. The stretch began with a win at the Byron Nelson Classic and ended two months later with a T4 at the Greenbrier Classic. In all, five top-10s in six events, three of which were top-5s. Todd looks like he has the good to build on this momentum, but he's just too pricey to take in salary cap leagues this year. In draft leagues he should go somewhere in the 3rd round.
Todd played only eight times on Web.com Tour in 2013, but packed a punch during those events. He had seven top-25s in eight starts and a win.
