2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hirata opened his 2025 Korn Ferry Tour campaign with a runner-up effort at The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, and he also posted a mid-summer stretch of T3-T2 at the NV5 Invitational and the Utah Championship to secure a top-20 position on the Points List. As a result, the 25-year-old out of Japan will become a PGA Tour rookie in 2026, though his underlying KFT metrics were relatively pedestrian aside from a 71.25 FIR percentage. Read Past Outlooks
Fourth in SG: ARG at THE CJ CUP
Hirata carded a one-under 70 on Sunday at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to finish 15-under and tied for 19th.
ANALYSIS
Hirata found himself in a tie for second after playing his first two rounds in a collective 13-under-par, but back-to-back 70s on Saturday and Sunday ultimately kept him from posting what could've been his second career top-10 on the PGA Tour. He ranked fourth among the Byron Nelson field in both SG: Around-the-Green and FIR percentage, but Hirata lost 3.91 strokes with the flat stick in McKinney. Hirata will be in attendance again this week at Colonial Country Club for his Charles Schwab Challenge debut.
