2026 Fantasy Outlook
Herbert locked his spot in the 2026 LIV Golf season after finishing 15th in the individual season standings in 2025. All of his hard work came in the first half of the season, when he accrued points in six of the first seven LIV Golf tournaments, with his T2 finish in Mexico City highlighted by his 10-under final round. However, Herbert wasn’t able to maintain that momentum the rest of the way, finishing 30th or worse in five of the final six events of the season. Much of Herbert’s struggles came with his accuracy off the tee (54.82 percent driving accuracy - 41st) and in his approach game (T41 with a 62.92 percent GIR), but fixing those issues would make him a regular contender given his putting proficiency (1.55 putts per hole - T3). The Australian failed to make the cut at The Open Championship and will have to earn his way into each of the four major tournaments in 2026 through qualifying events or strong play in the LIV Golf league.

Punches ticket to The Open
March 1, 2026
Herbert posted a 20-under cumulative score at the New Zealand Open to finish solo second, two strokes behind winner Daniel Hillier.
ANALYSIS
Herbert surged into contention in New Zealand after firing a nine-under 62 in the third round. He posted a respectable four-under 67 in the final round, and while he couldn't knock Hillier off the top of the leaderboard, Herbert's solo second was enough for him to earn a spot at The Open at Royal Birkdale as the leading player at the tournament not already exempt. Herbert will return to the LIV Golf circuit next week in Hong Kong, where he finished fourth in 2025 and T15 in 2024.

2022
Herbert and nine other players -- including Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Adrian Meronk -- were newcomers to the LIV Golf league in 2024, with Herbert joining the all-Australian Ripper GC just days before the first tournament in Mayakoba in February. Herbert finished T6 in three of the last six LIV Golf tournaments of the season (Houston, Greenbrier and Chicago), but he finished just outside the Lock Zone at 25th in the individual season standings. While Herbet was one of the best putters in the league in 2024, he was near the bottom of the field in both driving accuracy and GIR, two areas he’ll need to improve on in 2025. Herbert’s only major outing in 2024 was the PGA Championship (received a special invitation), and he managed to finish T43. He is not guaranteed to be in the field for any of the four majors in 2025.
Herbert finished out the season with five-straight made cuts. The Aussie has a chance to make some noise on Tour if he can string some low rounds together. Herbert possesses an excellent short game, so if he can hit it straight and far off the tee, he has a leg up on the competition around the pin.
Herbert wasn't much about consistency this past season as he made the cut in just half of his 20 starts, but an early season win at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship set him up for the entire year. After that win however, Herbert's results were less than ideal. Herbert posted only one top-10 during the entire 2022 portion of the season and he was generally a non-factor when making the cut. On a positive note, he did post a pair of T15s in two of his final three starts. Herbert is only 26, and this past season was his first on the PGA Tour, so he might have a fairly high ceiling. With that said, the bar was set pretty high, so a wait and see approach might be better this season.
Herbert already has two European Tour wins under his belt at just 25 years old, but he'll earn PGA Tour status for the first time this season after tying for fourth at the Albertsons Boise Open during the first leg of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. The Aussie currently paces the entire Euro Tour in putts per GIR while ranking second in average putts per round in 2021, though he's outside the top 100 in driving accuracy and GIR percentage.
