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
Seventh in SG: OTT at Valspar
Hoey closed with a one-over 72 on Sunday at the Valspar Championship to finish three-under and tied for 26th.
ANALYSIS
Hoey ranked seventh among the field in SG: Off-the-Tee at Innisbrook en route to his second-best finish of the season, but he also lost 1.76 strokes on the greens while making just 52' 8" feet of putts per round. Nonetheless, Hoey has now made the cut in back-to-back starts ahead of the upcoming Texas Children's Houston Open where he tied for 11th last year.

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.
