2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gotterup got off to a slow start in 2025 as he missed the cut in 8 of his first 12 starts. He started to find his groove as the season went on racking up eight top-30s over his next nine starts. Then the true breakout happened. Gotterup stared down Rory McIlroy in the final group on Sunday at the Scottish Open and picked up his second PGA Tour victory. He rode that momentum into The Open Championship next week and finished solo third. After a T10 the following week at the 3M Open, there was a lot of talk about putting Gotterup on the Ryder Cup team. The FedExCup playoffs were mostly a disappointment, however, and Gotterup would get passed up on by U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley. Nevertheless, Gotterup's play over the second half of the 2025 season leaves plenty of reason for optimism going into 2026. He was arguably the best driver on the PGA Tour over that time, and also saw huge strides in his iron play, short game and putting. If Gotterup is able to put it all together for a full season, the potential is certainly there for him to one day become a top player on Tour. Read Past Outlooks
Picks up second win of 2026
Gotterup defeated Hideki Matsuyama with a birdie on the first extra hole to win the WM Phoenix Open on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Gotterup was not really in the mix for much of the day, but closed with five birdies in the final six holes to post a seven-under 64 and 16-under-par in the clubhouse. After a bogey on the 72nd hole by Matsuyama, that set up a playoff. Matsuyama was in trouble after putting his tee shot in the water, but Gotterup stayed focus on his own game and rolled in a long birdie putt to score his fourth career PGA Tour victory and second of 2026. The 26-year-old is as talented as they come and he is ascending to being one of the top players in the game. Gotterup will look to stay hot at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
It didn't take Gotterup long to pick up his first PGA Tour win, as he took down the alternate event Myrtle Beach Classic in May in his rookie campaign. That was one of the few bright spots for the 2022 Haskins Award winner, as the win was his only top-10, and he only had four top-25s all year. He's one of the longest hitters on Tour (fifth in driving distance), but he's also incredibily sporadic off the tee and was only 163rd in SG: Approach. Unless he cleans up those areas significantly, he's likely to continue to be inconsistent, but his length advantage is massive and should occasionally get him into contention on his spike putting weeks.
