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
T70 at Farmers Insurance Open
Hoey closed with a four-over 76 on Sunday at the Farmers Insurance Open to finish two-over and tied for 70th.
ANALYSIS
Hoey made the cut at Torrey Pines in his return from an illness that forced him to withdraw from The American Express one week prior, but he lost a collective 6.45 strokes on and around the greens across three measured rounds in San Diego. On a more positive note, he ranked 16th among the FIO field in SG: Approach. Hoey will tee it up next at TPC Scottsdale for his second career WMPO appearance, having missed the cut in his debut here 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.
