2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hoey's 2024 campaign was a tale of two seasons. The Tour rookie missed his first four cuts and had just one top-25 through 15 events, but he flipped the switch thereafter with four top-10s, including a playoff loss in an alterate event. His ball-striking numbers indicate that he's likely not just a flash in the pan considering he ranked ninth in SG: Off-the-tee, 83rd in approach and 19th in GIR. If he can get off to a better start in 2025 and improve his short game, Hoey is a good candidate to make the playoffs next year. Read Past Outlooks
Climbs leaderboard Sunday
Hoey closed with a six-under 64 in the final round of the Texas Children's Houston Open to finish in a share of 11th place.
ANALYSIS
Hoey saved his best round of the week for Sunday, where he surged on the back-nine with five birdies in the final six holes to climb 24 spots on the leaderboard in the final round to narrowly miss out on a top-10 result. His driving play stood out as he ranked second for the week in driving accuracy and seventh in SG: Off-the-tee. The T11 result is Hoey's best finish of the year and second top-25.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hoey's maiden Korn Ferry Tour victory arrived not long after he began the 2023 season with top-10 results in half of his first 10 outings, eventually winning the Visit Knoxville Open in late May. The former University of Southern California standout becomes a PGA Tour rookie at 28 years old, and his patience could pay off in a big way if the driver continues to cooperate. He paced the entire KFT in total driving and ranked fourth in par-5 scoring throughout the 2023 campaign, but the putter remains a concern.
