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
Strong ball striking leads to T9
Hoey closed with a four-under 68 in the final round of the Procore Championship to finish in a share of ninth place.
ANALYSIS
Hoey had a mostly mundane final round until he birdied the final three holes en route to a bogey-free day to climb into the top-10. In his usual form, he was led by his ball-striking, as he ranked in the top-10 in SG: Off-the-tee and approach for the week. Hoey switched to a long putter in Napa but ranked 47th out of 72 golfers in SG: Putting. It's his second top-10 over his last four events.

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.
