2025 Fantasy Outlook

The stretch that Straka put together in the middle of the 2024 season was very impressive. He finished T16-or-better in seven of nine starts, three of those coming in Signature Events. He would only record one finish of T16-or-better in his first six starts and one in his final nine starts to the season. Straka also went down from 60th to 91st in SG: Total in 2024. While his ball-striking was pretty reliable, 172nd in SG: Around-the-Green and 104th in SG: Putting leave a lot to be desired. Still just 31 years old and a two-time PGA Tour winner, Straka has an excellent shot to return to the TOUR Championship for a fourth consecutive year and possibly add another victory in 2025.

2018

Straka had a breakout campaign in 2021-2022 and he only got better this past season. At the age of 30, Straka is hitting his prime and the numbers show it. Straka's results were almost identical to the previous season, but his win came at the John Deere Classic, a tournament with a small purse that kept his winnings $500k higher this past season. The only concern with Straka is his consistency, but he did increase his made-cut percentage, and if he continues to improve in that category, there's no reason to think his numbers will fall back again.

Straka had a breakthrough season in 2021-22 that saw him win the Honda Classic in February, score a T3 finish at Harbour Town, and fall in a crazy playoff to Will Zalatoris at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. While there were some very good finishes that made his earnings run up to nearly $5 million, it was actually his worst season from a strokes gained total perspective of four years on Tour. Straka has always had a solid putter, but finishing 147th in SG: Tee-to-Green and 14 missed cuts is alarming to trusing the Austrian to get anywhere close to his earnings total from this season next year.

Straka is now 3-for-3 in making the playoffs. His problem the last few months of last season, however, was consistency as he missed 7-of-10 cuts, but recorded top-15s in all the events he made the weekend. Straka's short game is the only category he has lost strokes in during his first three seasons on tour. There is definitely some upside here if he can put it all together.

Straka's second season on Tour went pretty similarly to his first one, with a handful of top-25 results and a missed cut at the Northern Trust to end it. It's a little troubling to see that Straka missed more cuts in the same amount of starts this year and that his tee-to-green play dipped. It's not out of the question to see him be a surprise winner in this season, and he's a safe bet to qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

With all the outstanding play by rookie golfers on the PGA Tour this past season, Straka flew a bit under the radar, but he accomplished goal number one for every new member of the PGA Tour and that's to secure your card for the following season. Straka didn't offer much excitement this past season, he was more of a grinder, with five top-25s and only one top-10. It's too early to make a call on Strake, but it's probably wise to wait another year or two on him before trying to fit him under your salary cap.

The 25-year-old Austrian ranked top-25 in both GIR percentage and total driving on the Web.com Tour in 2017-18, leading to a win at the KC Golf Classic and a third-place finish at the Web.com Tour Championship to earn a PGA Tour card for the first time in his career. Concerns lie in the fact that Straka posted only three top-25s in 26 events last season, but solid ball striking is an intriguing quality for the rookie.
