2025 Fantasy Outlook
After winning three times in 2023 including the FedExCup, expectations were sky high for Hovland going into 2024. He simply struggled to live up to them collecting only two top-10 finishes, a third at the PGA Championship and a T2 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Hovland tried to implement some new swing changes going into 2024 and then reverted back to his old coach later in the year. The big question with Hovland is his health, however. Normally he would play some events on the DP World Tour after the TOUR Championship, but was ruled out for the remainder of the year with an undisclosed injury. The talent is just too high here not to have a better year in 2025, but the injury and constant tinkering in his game does raise questions about his ceiling next season. Read Past Outlooks
Climbs leaderboard Sunday
Hovland fired a final round seven-under 63 at the TOUR Championship to finish in 12th place.
ANALYSIS
Hovland was never in contention to win but that didn't stop him from tying for the second lowest round Sunday which included eight birdies and only one bogey. He gained 2.7 strokes putting in the final round but didn't stand out statistically in any category for the tournament. Hovland closes the season with a win but only three top-10s.

Hovland has always been one of the most consistent players on Tour thanks to his world-class ball-striking. He reached a new level in 2022-23 thanks to big improvements in the short-game department. Hovland doubled his PGA Tour win total to six with victories at the Memorial Tournament, followed by wins at both the BMW Championship and the TOUR Championship to close the season. The 26-year-old has also not missed a cut on the PGA Tour since July of 2022. The next thing on Hovland's radar is a major championship and he has contended at quite a few of them already across his short career. Hovland has No. 1 overall upside, but also an extremely high floor that makes him a great early selection in any fantasy format.
