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
Sixth in SG: OTT at Doral
Hojgaard fired a six-under 66 on Sunday at the Cadillac Championship to finish six-under and tied for 23rd.
ANALYSIS
Hojgaard's bogey-free final round on the Blue Monster Course at Doral was highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 16th hole where his 321-yard drive settled within 11 feet of the cup. For the week, he ranked second among the Signature Event's field in driving distance and sixth in SG: Off-the-Tee, though he lost 0.88 strokes with his irons and another 1.37 strokes on the greens. Hojgaard will be in attendance again this week for the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow, where he tied for 41st at last year's PGA Championship.

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.
