2026 Fantasy Outlook
Stevens had a fine rookie campaign in 2023, fell back a bit in 2024, but rebounded this past season to put up the best numbers of his PGA Tour career. Consistency wasn't his calling card, however, Stevens' season was built upon three events. A runner-up at the Farmers was a solid start to the season, but there wasn't much to write home about for the next couple months until a third-place finish in May at the CJ Cup. Another dry spell followed until his second runner-up for the season at the 3M Open in late-July. To his credit, his did make 80 percent of his cuts this past season, and just over that the season before. It's what he's doing on the weekend that's a little concerning...if you're looking for consistency. Stevens is still in his late-20s however, so he's got time to work out the consistency issue. If he finds a little more consistency this year and maintains the same level of high-end finishes, he could make for a decent salary cap option this season. Read Past Outlooks
Jumps to T16 at The Genesis
February 22, 2026
Stevens carded a bogey-free, six-under 65 in the final round of The Genesis Invitational to finish in a four-way tie for 16th.
ANALYSIS
Stevens opened the tournament poorly with a three-over 74, but he finished with a 68-67-65 scorecard to crack the top-20 for the second time this season. He ranked T7 in the field in GIR, ninth in SG: Putting and T18 in scrambling opportunities. Stevens has made the cut in all six of his PGA Tour outings in 2026 and will look to make it seven in a row in two weeks at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He finished T40 in 2025 in his lone appearance at Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Following a rookie season in which he qualified for the playoffs, Stevens wasn't able to replicate the same success in 2024. He only managed three top-10s, one of which came in a team event and the other two against weaker fields. He even dropped down to the Korn Ferry Tour for one event in the summer, finishing one shot back. His stats indicate that there's potential for a breakout - he was 47th in total strokes gained and 17th off the tee, but it hasn't materialized yet. His iron play is his only weakness, and entering just his third season on Tour, his future still appears bright.
Stevens' rookie campaign featured a good start to the year with four top-15s over a seven tournament stretch, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open. However, he only recorded one top-25 finish over his final 20 events. The strengh of his game is cleary his length as he averaged 310 yards off-the-tee last season. However, he's pretty wild with his driver and is a below average iron player and putter. He'll need to improve a bit in each of those areas, otherwise he may be relegated back to the Korn Ferry Tour in 2025.
Stevens made the cut in 18 of 23 events played on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2022, but it was his clutch T12 at the KFT Championship that earned him a PGA Tour card for 2022-23. He ultimately ranked third among his KFT peers in GIR percentage and 12th in ball striking, but just 74th in par-5 scoring. Sanders managed to make the cut in each of his two starts at the PGA Tour level earlier this year, placing T55 at the Honda Classic and T49 at the U.S. Open in his major championship debut.
