2025 Fantasy Outlook

Vilips is set to become a 23-year-old rookie on the PGA Tour after winning the Korn Ferry Tour's Utah Championship in early August on the heels of a runner-up effort at the NV5 Invitational one week prior. The Stanford University product managed to finish 19th on the KFT's 2024 Points List despite making only 10 total starts, placing top-25 in seven of the 10 events. He ranked third among his KFT peers in driving distance and seventh in putting average, though he hit just 56.94 percent of the fairways in regulation. Read Past Outlooks

Earns first PGA Tour win

March 9, 2025

Vilips fired an eight-under 64 on Sunday to win the Puerto Rico Open by three strokes.

ANALYSIS
Vilips is a young man that many were high on coming out of college last summer. It didn't take him long to find success on the Korn Ferry Tour, logging a win and a runner-up in his first four starts. Vilips would earn his PGA Tour card in half a season, and after not making a start until late February in 2025, Vilips is now a PGA Tour winner. The Aussie left little doubt on Sunday carding an eagle and seven birdies to just one bogey to pull away from the field. Vilips will move up to 35th in the FedExCup standings and should have no issues getting into a lot of events for the rest of the season. He will tee it up at THE PLAYERS Championship next week.
