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
Notches T2 finish in Palm Springs
McCarty finished in a share of second place at The American Express after shooting a four-under 68 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
This is a week where you need the putter to be working and it certainly was for McCarty as he ranked second in the field in putts per GIR. McCarty posted 15-under after the first two rounds at the two easier courses this week, but then back-to-back 68s at the Stadium Course helped him secure a four-way share of second. This was a great bounce-back after a disappointing T55 in the season-opener at the Sony Open last week. McCarty will be in the field next week at the Farmers Insurance Open.

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.
