2026 Fantasy Outlook

Scheffler is coming off another incredible season. Things got off to a rocky start as he missed the first month due to a hand injury he sustained while cooking on Christmas. He had some strong showings in his first few weeks back, but would not return in the win column until early May at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. There was no looking back after that, however, as Scheffler would add victories at the PGA Championship, the Memorial Tournament, The Open Championship and the BMW Championship before adding a fall victory at the Procore Championship for good measure. Scheffler now has run up his major tally to four and his PGA Tour wins tally to 19. He has made at least $21 million each of the last three seasons in official earnings. No other player has made more than $19 million in that same time span. Scheffler is the undisputed best player in golf and it's not particularly close. Anything less than a 5+ win campaign with a major would probably be a disappointment to Scheffler. Read Past Outlooks

Great comeback comes up just short

February 8, 2026

Scheffler fired a seven-under 64 in the final round of the WM Phoenix Open to finish in a share of third place.

ANALYSIS
Scheffler hit some shockingly poor shots in the first round this week that resulted in a two-over 73. He was chasing the rest of the way and nearly got all the way back to the top. Scheffler's 64 on Sunday was his best round of the week and it included four birdies over the final six holes. Unfortunately, it ended up being just one shot short of joining a playoff between Chris Gotterup and Hideki Matsuyama. Considering the start to the tournament, Scheffler still has to be happy with the way he came back and picked up this strong result. This is now his 18th straight top-10 finish and he will look to extend that going into the first Signature Event next week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

2019

Simply put Scheffler had one of the greatest PGA Tour seasons we have ever seen racking up nearly $30 million highlighted by his seven victories, including a second Masters title. Scheffler topped about every important stat you can think of including scoring average, SG: Total and birdie average. A big key to his success in 2024 was his improvement on the greens over the season prior when he won only twice and ranked 162nd in SG: Putting. The ball-striking was largerly the same in 2024, but his SG: Putting rank went up to 77th. If Scheffler putts well almost nobody is going to beat him. That being said, it would be foolish to project Scheffler to break his own record for earnings in a season in 2025, but another multi-win season seems almost inevitable.

Scheffler's earnings north of $21 million in the 2022-23 season set a PGA Tour record, bolstered by early-season wins at the Phoenix Open and Players Championship, as well as 13 top-five finishes in 23 starts. At 27, he displayed one of the most impressive ball-striking seasons on record, though his putting often left him just short of victories over the summer. A similar pattern emerged in the 2021-22 season, with four early wins followed by several near misses. While it might be unrealistic to expect Scheffler to exceed $20 million in earnings again, his current consistency is unparalleled. He should be the top pick in any fantasy format, even without certainty about his performance on the greens.

Scheffler had a season golf fans should remember for a long time. He picked up his long-awaited first victory in a playoff at the Phoenix Open and followed with wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, WGC-Match Play, and capped it off with a win at the Masters. Scheffler would surprisingly not find the winner's circle again the rest of the season, but did notch runner-up's at Colonial, the U.S. open, and the Tour Championship. The 26-year-old made north of $14 million last season, which was a PGA Tour record. While that would be a big ask to repeat, Scheffler has the game and mental makeup to be a really good player for over a decade.

Scheffler's upside is one of the great unknowns heading into this season. He appears to have an upside similar to an elite player, but he's only two years into his PGA Tour career, which makes it hard to determine at this point. He also has yet to win on the PGA Tour, yet he posted more than $4.5 million in 2020-21. Imagine what he's capable of if he starts winning. Scheffler may be already peaking, it's tough to tell, but it looks like he can take his game higher. As such, he makes for an interesting salary cap option this season.

What a rookie season for the former Texas Longhorn. He notched double-digit top-25s and secured a spot at the Tour Championship. After a mid-season lull, he turned it on down the stretch and could have won multiple times. Scheffler's ball striking provides reason for optimism, ranking eighth in SG: Off-the-tee and 17th in SG: Tee-to-green for the season. He also was top-15 in birdie average and scoring average. Scheffler's short game should continue to get better going forward.

Prior to nabbing a victory at the first leg of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals in mid-August, Scheffler had already secured his PGA Tour card for the upcoming season by winning the Evans Scholars Invitational as the cherry on top of a stretch on the KFT that included results of 2-5-T7-2-Win beginning with late March's Savannah Golf Championship. He'll enjoy rookie status on the PGA Tour throughout the 2019-20 campaign, but the former Longhorn standout already has major tournament experience, having teed it up at three U.S. Opens as he earned Low Amateur honors at the 2017 edition. Scheffler missed the cut at the 2019 U.S. Open, but he notched a top-20 finish at the Valero Texas Open and collected nearly $150k despite making only four starts at the PGA Tour level. On the KFT, he ranked fifth in GIR percentage, 10th in putting average and led his peers in birdie average.
