2026 Fantasy Outlook
After making over $5 million in 2024, Pavon could not get off the ground in 2025. He did not record a single top-25 finish last season while also missing 10 cuts in 26 starts. Pavon is still fully exempt in 2026 thanks to his victory at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open, but he will need to perform far better in virtually every strokes gained category if he is going to retain his card for 2027.

Doesn't make weekend at JDC
Pavon missed the cut by three strokes at the John Deere Classic after carding a one-under 70 in the second round.
ANALYSIS
The John Deere Classic is known as a low-scoring tournament, so Pavon dug himself a hole with a one-over 72 in the first round that he was unable to overcome Friday. He connected on 19 of 28 fairways (67.9 percent) and gained 0.83 strokes in his short game, but Pavon struggled in his approach play, losing 3.39 strokes in that category. It was the Frenchman's sixth missed cut of the season across 16 tournaments, with four of those MC's coming in his last seven outings. Pavon is listed in the field for next week's Genesis Scottish Open, where he's missed the cut in each of the last three years after a T36 finish in his debut at the event in 2022.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Pavon got off to a blazing start to his PGA Tour career after earning a card via the Race to Dubai. He won the Farmers Insurance Open in January which came right in the middle of three top-10s in a four-start stretch. While it was pretty spotty through the rest of the year, the Frenchman did post a T12 at the Masters and then a 5th at the U.S. Open. Pavon ranked 110th on the PGA Tour last season in SG: Total, which is certainly a concern because it's hard to rely on a couple good finishes carrying you form an earnings perspective. The bigget area for him to improve would be short game as he ranked 178th in SG: Around-the-Green.
