2026 Fantasy Outlook
It was a tale of two seasons for Thorbjornsen, who began 2025 by missing 6-of-9 cuts with a best finish of T39. He turned the corner thereafter, seriously contending with four top-5 finishes as he continues to improve heading into his third season. The 2024 PGA Tour University ranking leader will be a popular breakout candidate for 2026 when you consider his pedigree and age (24), on top of being one of the longest players on Tour. If there's something to nitpick, he's only been an average putter and is a poor bunker player. Even so, the ball striking makes him stand out as a player that can take a big leap next season.

Last in SG: Putting at Pebble
Thorbjornsen closed with a seven-over 79 on Sunday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish nine-over and tied for 78th.
ANALYSIS
Thorbjornsen followed up his T3 at the WM Phoenix Open with a four-under 68 on Thursday at Spyglass Hill, but he then played his final 54 holes at Pebble Beach in a collective 13-over-par while ranking dead last among the Signature Event field in both SG: Putting and putts per GIR. He finished the week with just nine total par-breakers across 72 holes in his AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am debut, though he ranked top-10 in rough proximity and percentage of 320-plus yard drives. Thorbjornsen slides eight spots to No. 24 in the early FedExCup standings, and he's not qualified for the upcoming Genesis Invitational.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thorbjornsen is fully exempt for the 2025 season after topping the 2024 PGA Tour University Rankings. Following a standout senior season at Stanford, Thorbjornsen would take his talents the the PGA Tour and make 11 starts to close the year. While there was some expected inconsistency, Thorbjornsen showed he has the talent to compete at the highest level racking up a T2 at the John Deere Classic before finishing 2024 with a pair of T8 finishes in his last three starts. While he didn't have enough starts to be eligible, he would have ranked top-five on Tour last season in driving distance and in the top-10 in GIR percentage. Thorbjornsen has also proved to be a strong putter gaining strokes on the greens in his last five starts in 2024. While the talent is very exciting, expectations need to be properly managed as a full season on the PGA Tour is quite the grind for a young player.
