2026 Fantasy Outlook
McCarty stormed onto the season by winning in his fourth Tour start in the fall of 2024, and he followed it up with a respectable year that included nine top-20s over 26 events. With that said, he didn't have the ascension that many peopled expected, and he only seriously contended once. The lefty's game is built more around precision than distance, and when you combine that with losing strokes on approach, a lot of pressure is put around your short game to pick up the slack. There's still plenty of time for McCarty to improve as he enters his prime years, and he's more than capable of having some spike putting weeks and contending on shorter venues. Read Past Outlooks
T60 at Charles Schwab Challenge
McCarty finished T60 at the Charles Schwab Challenge with a one-over cumulative score.
ANALYSIS
McCarty came out of the gate hot with a bogey-free, six-under 64 in the first round. However, he shot over par in each of the last three rounds, including a five-over 75 on Saturday. McCarty's final round of 71 was a roller coaster, particularly on the front nine with four birdies and four bogeys. He ranked near the bottom of the field in SG: Putting and Around-the-Green, as well as GIR and bogeys made. It was a disappointing performance from McCarty as he was looking to bounce back from his MC at the PGA Championship. He'll tee off next week at the Memorial Tournament, which will be his debut at the Signature Event.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
McCarty enters his rookie campaign with one PGA Tour win already credited to his name, having coasted to a three-shot triumph at the Black Desert Championship in October after earning a Three-Victory Promotion to the big leagues following a trio of Korn Ferry Tour wins in a short span from July's Price Cutter Charity Championship through August's Albertsons Boise Open. Given his late-summer dominance, he clinced the No. 1 spot on the KFT Points List, earning exemptions for the 2025 PLAYERS Championship and the U.S. Open. He also paced the KFT in putting average, scoring average, total birdies and consecutive cuts made this past season.
