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
Third in SG: Putting at THE PLAYERS
Hojgaard posted a three-under 69 in the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship to finish in a five-way tie for 27th.
ANALYSIS
Hojgaard saved his best round at TPC Sawgrass for last, including a birdie on the difficult par-4 18th. The fact he was able to finish in the top-30 was an achievement in of itself, given that he ranked 72nd in SG: Off-the-Tee while connecting on just 24 of 56 fairways (T71). Other parts of Hojgaard's game made up for his inaccuracy off the tee, as he ranked third in SG: Putting, fifth in scrambling and in the top-30 in SG: Approach and Around-the-Green. Hojgaard has made the cut in each of his five Tour outings this season but will have his hands full at the Valspar Championship next week. In his lone outing in 2025, Hojgaard missed the cut by two strokes after posting a five-over 76 second round that included a four-over stretch across his last six holes.

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.
