2026 Fantasy Outlook
McCarty stormed onto the season by winning in his fourth Tour start in the fall of 2024, and he followed it up with a respectable year that included nine top-20s over 26 events. With that said, he didn't have the ascension that many peopled expected, and he only seriously contended once. The lefty's game is built more around precision than distance, and when you combine that with losing strokes on approach, a lot of pressure is put around your short game to pick up the slack. There's still plenty of time for McCarty to improve as he enters his prime years, and he's more than capable of having some spike putting weeks and contending on shorter venues. Read Past Outlooks
T18 at Farmers Insurance Open
McCarty closed with a two-under 70 on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open to finish 11-under and tied for 18th.
ANALYSIS
McCarty followed up his T2 effort in La Quinta with another top-20 result at Torrey Pines, where the flat stick remained a positive as he gained 3.4 strokes putting across three measured rounds on the South Course. He also hit 36 of 56 fairways in regulation throughout the week, good enough to rank T7 among the field in driving accuracy. The Scottsdale, Arizona native will peg it again this week on home turf at the WM Phoenix Open.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
McCarty enters his rookie campaign with one PGA Tour win already credited to his name, having coasted to a three-shot triumph at the Black Desert Championship in October after earning a Three-Victory Promotion to the big leagues following a trio of Korn Ferry Tour wins in a short span from July's Price Cutter Charity Championship through August's Albertsons Boise Open. Given his late-summer dominance, he clinced the No. 1 spot on the KFT Points List, earning exemptions for the 2025 PLAYERS Championship and the U.S. Open. He also paced the KFT in putting average, scoring average, total birdies and consecutive cuts made this past season.
