2025 Fantasy Outlook

Lipsky will enter 2025 with momentum having closed the year with back-to-back top-10s to finish in the top-100 of the FedExCup. The highlight of his year came in Napa, where he started the fall with a runner-up finish for his first top-5 since January of 2023. Lipsky is one of the shortest drivers on Tour and gained strokes off the tee in just six tournaments, and he's been a consistently below average putter as well which doesn't give the rest of his game much margin for error. For fantasy purposes, Lipsky doesn't provide much upside and managers are better off looking elsewhere. Read Past Outlooks

Late charge not enough

July 6, 2025

Lipsky posted a three-under 68 on Sunday at the John Deere Classic to finish 17-under and in a share of third place.

ANALYSIS
Lipksy began the day one shot back of the lead and despite only being one-under through 11 holes, he surged on the back-nine and moved into a share of the lead after carding an eagle on the par-5 17th. However, he had to lay up following a poor tee shot on the par-4 18th hole, and he narrowly missed a 15-foot par putt to get into a three-way playoff. Lipsky was led by his play on the greens, ranking fifth for the week in SG: Putting. The result breaks a stretch of five consecutive missed cuts and is his first individual top-25 of the year.

2020

Lipsky did just enough to finish inside the top-100 in the FedEx Cup Standings but the way he finished the season leaves cause for concern as he managed just one top-25 finish across his final 13 events. He's put behind the eight-ball by a lack of length, ranking 162nd in driving distance, so it's no surprise that his best results came on short venues (Waialae, Bermuda). While most short hitters usually feature a strong short game, that's another area that Lipsky struggles in. As a result, it's hard to imagine a resurgent season at this point in his career.

Lipsky was rookie on Tour last season after playing primarily overseas for most of his career and recorded a pair of top-10s against weak fields with a best finish of T-6. He did flash above average iron play (40th in strokes-gained approach) and there's room to improve if he can make strides in his short game. He's a solid cut maker that should find himself in contention more often this season.

Lipsky has never appeared in more than five events in a single PGA Tour season, but a T8 at June's Palmetto Championship earned him a six-figure paycheck for the first time at this level. On the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020-21, Lipsky finished 12th on the regular season points list with three second-place results and a win at the 2020 TPC San Antonio Challenge at the Canyons. Lipsky also recently tied for fourth at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship during the second leg of the KFT Finals.

A win at July's TPC San Antonio Challenge accompanied by a T2 at the WinCo Foods Portland Open contributed to Lipsky's positioning inside the top 10 in the Korn Ferry Tour's points list. Lipsky ball striking throughout the 2020 campaign wasn't all that impressive as he ranked 52nd in total driving and 65th in GIR percentage, but he was sixth in birdie or better conversion and 16th in putting average. He possesses a decent amount of PGA Tour experience with 15 total starts since 2015, though he should still retain rookie eligibility ahead of the 2020-21 season.
