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
Just misses out on Truist
Undisclosed
May 4, 2025
Hojgaard fell out of the Aon Swing 5 and will not tee it up at the Truist Championship next week, PGA Tour Communications reports.
ANALYSIS
Hojgaard was just beat out by his brother Rasmus Hojgaard in the final spot of the Aon Swing 5 after the duo scored a solo second at the Zurich Classic. The difference was Nicolai finishing T56 at the Byron Nelson and Rasmus' 48th place finish. Nicolai will take next week off and not play at Myrtle Beach either as he gets ready for the PGA Championship.

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.
