2025 Fantasy Outlook
Power struggled in his first four years on the PGA Tour, often failing to land in the top-125 by season's end, but his game turned around in 2021 and he hasn't looked back since. Power's best work came in 2022-2023 when he finished inside the top-50. He took a slight step backwards in 2024, but it doesn't appear to be anything to worry about. The main difference in his numbers were the high-end finishes. While he had at least one top-3 in every season from 2021-2023, he failed to grab one this past year. If Power were in his early 40s, it might be worrisome to see this slight decline, but at 37 currently, he should have a handful of years left at his highest level. As such, he makes an interesting salary cap selection this season as his earnings number was a bit deflated this past season. Read Past Outlooks

November 17, 2024
Power fired a six-under 65 on Sunday at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship to finish tied for 23rd place.
ANALYSIS
Power was one of the betting favorites heading into the week but needed a strong back-nine on Friday just to make the weekend. He saved his best golf for Sunday with a bogey-free 65 that included four birdies and an eagle for the low round of the day. Power ranked third for the week in scrambling and dropped just six shots despite the windy conditions. He's had a consistent fall with four top-25s across five starts.

Power suffered a hip injury this past summer and it obviously affected his game. Power started the season well with a win in the fall, followed by a couple more top-10s. Starting in March however, his game fell off and that's likely due to the hip injury. Power missed most of the final few months of the season and we aren't sure where his health stands as he enters the 2024 season. As such, he's not a salary cap option this season and may not be an option in any format until later in the season.
The curious case of Seamus Power. Power joined the PGA Tour during the 2016-2017 as a relatively unknown golfer from Ireland and he didn't exactly make a splash, ending the season 130th on the FedEx list. His next three seasons on the PGA Tour were much the same and it wasn't until the 2020-2021 season that he started to show some game. This past season he found an entirely new gear as he posted top-25s in half of the events he played (13) on his way to over $3 million in earnings. Power appears to be reaching his peak as he enters his mid-30s, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it does indicate that his ceiling is likely limited.
Power missed five of his first six cuts to start the season and then went his final 11 starts without missing a weekend and racking up a win at the Barbasol and six other top-25s. Power's short game was very impressive as he ranked top-10 in both SG: around and scrambling. He gained strokes in every area and has a lot of upside going into a full 2021-22 season.
Power got into only 11 tournaments last season, playing out of the 126-150 category. He made seven cuts with two top-25s. He should get more starts in a full season, and get near his previous average of about $700k in earnings.
There wasn't a huge difference from the 2017-18 season when Power made the playoffs, and last season when he finished 143rd in the standings. He only had two more missed cuts and one less top-25 this past season. Power needs to really make a big step up in his ball striking, as he ranked 189th in SG: Approach and 177th in SG: Tee-to-green. He will be a risky option in salary cap leagues.
Power has spent two seasons on the PGA Tour and he's finished 130th and 114th on the FedEx points list. While Power improved his FedEx position last season, when consider that he was 15th on the PGA Tour in strokes-gained putting, the minimal gain in points is a bit of a letdown. Power's overall game is not where it needs to be in order to see a significant improvement. Power would need to improve his tee-to-green game while maintaining his incredible putting from last season and that's just not likely to happen. With that in mind, Power is not a good salary cap option this season.
Power's rookie season on the PGA Tour started slowly but ended with promise as he notched three of his four top-25s in his final five events. If Power can muster enough starts to build momentum early in the wraparound season, look for him to flirt with $1 million or more in earnings. Of course there's downside for a sophomore slump that tosses him between the PGA and Web.com tours, but you could do much worse than the 30-year-old Irishman.
Not sure what this says about Power or the crop of potential European Ryder Cup captain's picks, but Seamus, pronounced "Shamus," was on some lists of potential options for Darren Clarke. He was not picked, but that doesn't diminish his impressive 2016 campaign. He got his PGA Tour card through a win at the United Leasing & Finance Championship, and had a solid summer run that included three top-20 finishes, one at the Rio Olympics where he represented Ireland and tied for 15th. That week, in a limited but still strong field, he ranked 14th in SG tee-to-green, complementing a season-long Web.com Tour ranking of 13th for greens in regulation. Don't be surprised if Power sneaks up on some leaderboards early. The mere mention of him has a possible captain's pick shows you what those across the pond think of him.
