2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lower would be best described as a late-bloomer considering the 35-year-old just had his best season on Tour. He had four top-5s, two of which came in November, so the current form is strong. There's still question as to if he can elevate against better competition as his best events came against weaker fields and success in the fall doesn't always translate to early season success. Lower isn't long or that accurate off the tee which puts him at a disadvantage, but his wedge play and putting can make him a strong contender at shorter venues. Read Past Outlooks
Third top-five in last five starts
January 19, 2025
Lower turned in a three-under 69 in the final round of The American Express to finish in a share of third place.
ANALYSIS
Lower got off to a hot start to the week in with a nine-under 63 in round one at La Quinta, which included back-to-back eagles. He was in striking distance on Saturday, but will regret the fact that he played the four par-5s that day in two-over-par. He didn't make a bogey on Sunday, but was just too far back to give Sepp Straka a real challenge. Dating back to last fall, Lower has now finished top-five in three of his last five starts. His confidence has to be continuing to grow. Lower is slated to tee it up at the Farmers Insurance Open next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Although Lower carded a T8 in the Rocket Mortgage Classic, he failed to place higher than 25th in any event until the fall, making three consecutive cuts. including a 20th-place finish in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Lower's metrics are unremarkable in any particular category, although he finished the 2023 season ranked 32nd in Putting and 20th in Proximity.
Lower had a relatively public heartbreak to finish the year, as he missed a 6-footer on his final hole of the regular season to miss the playoffs by just a few points. That said, earning continued Tour status should help soften the blow, and Lower will look to capitalize on another busy schedule in 2023. He made 17 of 24 cuts in 2022, and his best finish was a T8 at the Barbasol Championship.
Lower has appeared in just four total PGA Tour events since his debut in 2013, but the 32-year-old finally earned a card of his own after a clutch top-15 performance at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship to secure the very last spot among the Finals 25. Lower's 2020-21 KFT season included a pair of runner-up efforts and 13 top-25s, while he ranked 13th in GIR percentage and 21st in birdie average.
