2025 Fantasy Outlook
Yu started the 2024 strong with top-10s in two of his first three starts of the season and he managed another top-10 in February, but after that, it was a long stretch of nothing until October. That's when his fortunes really turned around. Yu picked up his first PGA Tour win at the Sanderson Farms Championship in early October and in doing so, he retained his playing privileges for the upcoming season. Yu was decent as a rookie in 2023, landing just inside the top-100 at the end of the year, and he's again inside the top-100 thanks to his win in October. That being said, he's simply living too dangerously at this point to be trusted. Yu will need to show more consistency moving forward, and at his current number, there's no way you should consider him in a salary cap league. Read Past Outlooks
Joins Aon Next 10 with T11 at RSM Classic
November 26, 2024
Yu closed with a four-under 66 on Sunday at The RSM Classic to finish 12-under and tied for 11th.
ANALYSIS
Yu carded just five total bogeys throughout his 72 holes at Sea Island, where he ultimately ranked T2 among the field in GIR percentage and third in SG: Off-the-Tee. The T11 result is Yu's eighth top-25 of the season, and it allowed him to qualify for the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational via the Aon Next 10. He finished 58th in the final FedExCup Fall standings, thanks in large part to his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship in early October.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Yu's stock is definitely on the rise, despite the usual inconsistency pros make during the first full year on Tour. Although he suffered through 19 missed cuts in his rookie season, he had some excellent finishes along the way, including a sixth-place finish at the John Deere Classic. The ASU product excelled in several statistical categories, most notably ranking sixth in SG: Off-the-Tee and a GIR of 72.4%, good enough for fourth place on Tour.
Yu ranked second on the Korn Ferry Tour in total driving throughout the 2022 season, earning his first PGA Tour card after finishing 20th on the KFT's regular season points list. The 24-year-old ASU product placed runner-up at May's Simmons Bank Open and he added another second-place effort again in July at the Price Cutter Charity Championship. He also appeared in six PGA Tour events this past season, notably tying for seventh at the Puerto Rico Open where he tallied 15 birdies and two eagles.
