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.

Second in SG: Putting at Valspar
Pavon posted a three-under 68 in the final round of the Valspar Championship to finish tied for 11th with Jordan Spieth and A.J. Ewart.
ANALYSIS
Pavon posted three consecutive one-under 70 rounds before surging to a top-15 finish thanks to his four-under score on the back nine Sunday. He gained 6.65 strokes on the green and ranked second in that category for the tournament while also finishing 19th in SG: Off-the-Tee, though he was T58 in GIR and 62nd in SG: Approach. Pavon has made the cut in six of eight PGA Tour tournaments this season with two top-20s over his last four outings. He'll tee off at the Texas Children's Houston Open next week for the first time in his career.

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.
