2026 Fantasy Outlook
If you throw out the major championship results, Straka could have been hard pressed to ask for a better year. He scored a pair of victories, one of which was a Signature Event at the Truist Championship. Straka also had just two finishes outside the top 30. The frustrating part for him will be the fact that he went MC-MC-MC-T52 in the four majors. He needs to find a way to put that behind him and get over that mental hurdle in the biggest events starting in 2026. Straka has been one of the better ball strikers on Tour over the last few years, and 2025 also proved to be the best putting season of his career. The short game is really the only Achilles heel in his bag. Straka is still just 32 years of age and can continue to develop in that area. Crossing the $10 million threshold again is probably a lot to ask going into 2026, but he's not a guy you can see having a huge fall off anytime soon. Read Past Outlooks
Thwarted by late double bogeys
Straka posted a one-under 71 during the final round of THE PLAYERS Championship to finish tied with Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Thomas for eighth.
ANALYSIS
Straka opened the tournament strongly with a bogey-free, five-under 67 first round. He gained just three strokes over the next three days of the tournament, but he would have been closer to the top of the leaderboard had his six birdies in the final round not been outdone by double bogeys on the 14th and 18th holes. Straka ranked second in the field in scrambling, 17th in SG: Around-the-Green and in the top-25 in SG: Approach, SG: Putting and putts per GIR. After failing to make the cut at The American Express, Straka has done so in each of his last five Tour outings with four top-20 finishes (including T2 at Pebble Beach). He's not listed in the field for the Valspar Championship next week.

The stretch that Straka put together in the middle of the 2024 season was very impressive. He finished T16-or-better in seven of nine starts, three of those coming in Signature Events. He would only record one finish of T16-or-better in his first six starts and one in his final nine starts to the season. Straka also went down from 60th to 91st in SG: Total in 2024. While his ball-striking was pretty reliable, 172nd in SG: Around-the-Green and 104th in SG: Putting leave a lot to be desired. Still just 31 years old and a two-time PGA Tour winner, Straka has an excellent shot to return to the TOUR Championship for a fourth consecutive year and possibly add another victory in 2025.
