Jake Knapp

30-Year-Old Golfer
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After an early-season win at the Mexico Open and a T4 a week later, it appeared as though the sky was the limit for Knapp, after all, he had finished 3rd at the Farmers Insurance Open two events prior, so he was in the midst of a four event stretch where he finished no worse than T4, what could go wrong? Well, sometimes getting a win on the PGA Tour actually sets a golfer back, for a spell, sometimes for longer as complacency can set in. Maybe that's what happened or maybe it was something else. Whatever the case, Knapp did not finish the season well, posting only one more top-20 after the T4 that closed his fantastic stretch. Knapp was more of a grinder at the lower levels, often showing more consistency than upside, so perhaps the early success threw him for a loop. Whatever the case, he's a risky play at his current number in salary cap leagues this season. Read Past Outlooks

Weekly PGA Recap: Maverick Finds the Magic
53 days ago
The 2024 PGA Tour campaign came to an end Sunday, and the final event featured the season's 15th first-time winner -- Maverick McNealy.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Knapp managed to finish 13th on the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour points list despite ending his campaign without a single top-3 result, but he enjoyed one of the steadier seasons imaginable with just two missed cuts in 22 starts while racking up 15 top-25s and 10 top-10s. The former UCLA Bruin ranked second in driving distance, second in scrambling, fourth in putting average and fifth in total birdies, showcasing quite an impressive all-around game. He's made just four career appearances at the PGA Tour level, but Knapp's KFT metrics should put him on the deep sleeper radar.
