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
Share of 10th at PGA Championship
Gotterup posted a three-under cumulative score at the PGA Championship to finish in a four-way tie for 10th.
ANALYSIS
Gotterup's best round at Aronomink was his five-under 65 score Friday, when he birdied each of the final three holes of the round. He couldn't take advantage of the easier pin placements Saturday, ending the day with a one-over 71 that essentially dropped him out of contention for his first major victory. Gotterup ended the tournament third in SG: Off-the-Tee (including third in driving distance), T4 in bogeys, T16 in GIR and top-30 in SG: Approach and Putting, though he also ranked 62nd in SG: Around-the-Green. It was Gotterup's fourth top-10 finish of the 2026 season and first since the Houston Open in late March. He'll have at least one week off, as he's not listed in the field for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

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.
