2026 Fantasy Outlook
It's not often to find a 24-year-old with as much experience as Hojgaard. The 2023 Ryder Cupper is entering his fourth year on Tour after finishing 88th on the points list. That feels a bit lower than he should be, but Hojgaard typically doesn't play stateside until February and spends most of the fall on the DP World Tour. Although he's yet to win on the PGA Tour, he has the type of game that makes you think it's only a matter of time. He ranked third in driving distance and 11th in SG: Approach ,which helped lead to a pair of top-10s on each Tour. Consistency can be an issue at times, but the ceiling should give fantasy managers plenty to be excited about. Read Past Outlooks
MC at the Memorial Tournament
Hojgaard missed the cut at the Memorial Tournament by three strokes after posting scores of 74-78.
ANALYSIS
Hojgaard had a five-over cumulative score through 14 holes in the second round and was on track to make the cut, but he proceeded to card a double bogey on the 15th hole before ending his tournament with a bogey on the 18th. He lost 3.64 strokes off the tee Friday, which was the most out of the 72-man field, and he connected on just six of 14 fairways. It was just the second MC of the season for Hojgaard, with his first taking place at Augusta National in April. He's listed in the field for the RBC Canadian Open next week, where missed the cut in 2025. It will serve as his tune-up event for the U.S. Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in two weeks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Hojgaard wasted little time getting accustomed to the PGA Tour, finishing runner-up at Torrey Pines in his first start, but he only picked up one other top-20 at Augusta the rest of the year. Not to be confused with his brother, Rasmus, who will be joining the Tour in 2025, Nicolai stormed onto the scene on the DP World Tour in 2023 to make the Ryder Cup team, but has struggled to recapture that form. He's a long hitter and quality ball striker with a high ceiling, but fantasy managers are going to need some patience due to his inconsistency.
