2026 Fantasy Outlook
Ramey clinched his PGA Tour card for 2026 with a strong T2 showing at the World Wide Technology Championship in the fall. Ramey didn't have many weeks to write home about, but he did collect four top-10 finishes which was a new personal-best on the PGA Tour. The 33-year-old was still outside the top 100 in SG: Total and lost strokes in every category except SG: Putting. Ramey was also fortunate to retain full status despite making only half of his cuts. He'll surely want to find some more consistency in 2026, but Ramey will likely be a risky boom-or-bust fantasy play for the foreseeable future. Sometimes a few hot weeks over the course of a season is all it takes to keep your card. Read Past Outlooks
Eighth in SG: Putting in Houston
March 31, 2026
Ramey finished tied for 28th at the Texas Children's Houston Open after posting a seven-under cumulative score.
ANALYSIS
Ramey opened the tournament nicely with back-to-back rounds of three-under 67 scores, but he didn't carry that momentum into the weekend, going one-under across the final two days of the tournament. He ranked eighth in the field in SG: Putting, T17 in birdies made and T20 in scrambling, though he ranked near the bottom in both SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Around-the-Green. Ramey has made the cut in eight of nine tournaments this season, though he's finished in the top-25 only twice (T22 at the Farmers Insurance Open and T17 at the Cognizant Classic). He's in the field for the Valero Texas Open, where he missed the cut in 2023 and 2024 before finishing T5 last year.

2022
2024 was an important year for Ramey as his two-year winner's exemption was ending, but he came through with seven top-25s to finish 117th in the FedExCup. His only top-10 was a playoff loss at the Zurich Classic team event, however, and he's failed to post an individual top-10 since his alternate event win in March of 2022. Ramey's ball-striking shortcomings are well evident in his statistics - 129th in SG: Off-the-tee, 162nd in approach and 151st in distance. His short game is quite solid and picks up a lot of the slack, but it doesn't lead to enough birdies to contend. Without some drastic improvement with his long game, Ramey will struggle to maintain his full status past this year.
Ramey's 2022-23 season got off to a disastrous start as he made just seven of his first 19 cuts with a best finish of T-28 before righting the ship midway through the season. Ultimately, he posted six top-25s over his final 16 events with just three missed cuts and that was enough to finish just inside the top-125 and maintain his card for another season. Nevertheless, there's nothing in Ramey's game that signals a breakthrough third season considering he lost shots in every strokes-gained category last season. Expect him to be firmly on the FedEx Cup bubble next season.
Ramey made the FedEx Cup Playoffs in his rookie season but mostly struggled, making just 11 cuts in 28 events while finishing 159th in strokes-gained total. It's hard to be too optimistic about his potential considering the only area he's above average in is accuracy off-the-tee. Ramey will likely be in trouble of keeping his card without significant improvement in his short game.
Ramey finished behind only Will Zalatoris in actual scoring average on the way to 24 total top-25s and a whopping 40 made cuts in 43 events played during the Korn Ferry Tour's super season, which included a win at the 2021 Live and Work in Maine Open. Ramey also ranked seventh or better among his KFT peers in birdie average, GIR percentage and driving accuracy. However, he's made only two career appearances on the PGA Tour dating to his 2015 debut at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. On the bright side, Ramey hasn't missed a single cut since the KFT's Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in August of 2020.
