2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hojgaard wasted little time getting accustomed to the PGA Tour, finishing runner-up at Torrey Pines in his first start, but he only picked up one other top-20 at Augusta the rest of the year. Not to be confused with his brother, Rasmus, who will be joining the Tour in 2025, Nicolai stormed onto the scene on the DP World Tour in 2023 to make the Ryder Cup team, but has struggled to recapture that form. He's a long hitter and quality ball striker with a high ceiling, but fantasy managers are going to need some patience due to his inconsistency. Read Past Outlooks

First PGA Tour top-10 in over a year
February 23, 2025
Hojgaard finished in solo eighth place at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld following a four-under 67 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
Hojgaard maybe could have been in the mix for the win had he finished better than 55th in SG: Putting. That said, he had a great ball-striking performance at 10th in SG: Approach and second in GIR percentage. Hojgaard put up some good finishes on the DP World Tour in the fall, but this is his first top-10 on the PGA Tour since the Farmers Insurance Open in early 2024. The Dane is a very talented player and he will look to find more results like this going forward. Hojgaard is listed in the field for next week's Cognizant Classic.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hojgaard earned special temporary status on the PGA Tour after his first start where he finished runner-up in Punta Cana. He added four top-25s in a five start stretch later in the season to virtually solidfy that he would have full status for 2024 via non-member points. The 22-year-old also impressed the world at the Ryder Cup as a rookie. The Dane has three career DP World Tour wins, one of which was the 2023 DP World Tour Championship. Hojgaard will be one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour and he also ranks fourth in approaches from 50-125 yards and eighth in putts per GIR show that he is already starting to round out his entire game. The upside here is extremely high, but a full season on the PGA Tour will certainly test him mentally.
