2026 Fantasy Outlook
After finishing the regular season outside of the top 100 in the FedExCup, Hoey switch to a long putter to start the fall and the results followed with six top-25s including four top-10s across seven starts. His ball-striking numbers jump off the page as Scottie Scheffler was the only other golfer to rank in the top 10 in SG: Off-the-Tee and approach in 2025. A bit of a late bloomer having spent five years at the lower level before graduating to the PGA Tour, Hoey looks to be a pretty obvious breakout candidate that still needs to prove that the putting woes are behind him and that he can compete against elite talent. We're betting he will. Read Past Outlooks
Surges to T24 at TPC Scottsdale
Hoey fired a five-under 66 in the final round of the WM Phoenix Open to finish tied for 24th.
ANALYSIS
Hoey saved his best day at TPC Scottsdale for last, with his final round highlighted by three consecutive birdies from holes one to three. His game on the green continues to be his downfall (70th in SG: Putting) and has overshadowed other components of his game, as Hoey ranked in the top-20 in the field in driving accuracy, SG: Approach to Green and SG: Off the Tee. He has made the cut in three of four PGA Tour outings this season, though he's dropped to 73rd in the OWGR from 69 at the end of 2025. He's qualified for next week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am through the Aon Next 10, which will be his first appearance at the signature event.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Hoey's 2024 campaign was a tale of two seasons. The Tour rookie missed his first four cuts and had just one top-25 through 15 events, but he flipped the switch thereafter with four top-10s, including a playoff loss in an alterate event. His ball-striking numbers indicate that he's likely not just a flash in the pan considering he ranked ninth in SG: Off-the-tee, 83rd in approach and 19th in GIR. If he can get off to a better start in 2025 and improve his short game, Hoey is a good candidate to make the playoffs next year.
