2026 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson appeared to be on his way up after a strong sophomore campaign in 2024, but he never really found the magic in 2025. As is often the case with young golfers that pick up their first win, his game fell off a bit the following season. This happens because the pressure of retaining their card is off for two years. This is year two however, so if Thompson wants to retain his playing priveleges for 2027, he'll have to earn it this season. Normally that pressure is enough to snap the golfer out of whatever funk they found themselves in and that should hold true for Thompson this season. Luckily for those playing in salary cap leagues, Thompson's number dropped pretty low this past season, making him a solid play this year. Read Past Outlooks
Ties for 46th at Valspar
March 24, 2026
Thompson fired a three-under 68 on Sunday at the Valspar Championship to finish even-par and tied for 46th.
ANALYSIS
Thompson rebounded from a missed cut at THE PLAYERS Championship with a five-under 66 during Thursday's opening round at Innisbrook, where he ultimately finished top-15 among the Valspar field in both SG: Putting and total feet of putts made. However, Thompson also lost 2.9 strokes around the green, and he hit just 23 of 52 total fairways in regulation. He'll be in attendance again this week for the Texas Children's Houston Open where he's placed T27-T21-T43 in three career trips to Memorial Park.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Thompson had a career year in 2024 ranking top-10 in both SG: Total and adjusted scoring average on the PGA Tour to go along with notching his first win at the John Deere Classic. Thompson also had two runner-up results as well and totaled 13 top-25 finishes. Usually one of the last things that comes along for young players is the short game, but the 25-year-old has some of the best hands on Tour ranking fifth in SG: Around-the-Green. Thompson also has the power, precision with the irons and putting stroke to make him be successful on the PGA Tour for a long time to come. It would not be shocking to see Thompson put together an even bigger season in 2025 and maybe even make the U.S. Ryder Cup team at Bethpage.
Thompson had an excellent start to his rookie season with two top-15s in his first three events and a runner-up finish at The American Express in January. The momentum stalled from there, however, as he failed to record a top-10 the rest of the year. The 24-year-old is fueled by his driving play, as he is long off-the-tee (31st in driving distance) and fairly accurate having ranked 90th in driving accuracy. Considering the other areas of his game are all around Tour average, some slight improvements across the board along with a year under his belt on the main stage could lead to an improved second season.
Ranking fourth on the Korn Ferry Tour in total driving and 14th in ball striking, Thompson finished 14th on the regular season points list and he won early-June's REX Hospital Open to secure his maiden PGA Tour card. The 23-year-old University of Georgia product retains rookie eligibility despite 13 career starts at the PGA Tour level, notably notching a top-25 as an amateur at the 2019 RSM Classic. He's a former No. 1 player in the Amateur World Golf Ranking and was twice named first-team All-American in college. The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder profiles as a potential ROY candidate if the short game cooperates against tougher competition.
