2025 Fantasy Outlook
Morikawa really did everything but win in 2024. After a somewhat slow start to the season, everything changed for him with a T3 at the Masters. That started a streak of 13 straight top-25 finishes. Morikawa also had five top-four finishes in that stretch. He nearly came from behind to win the FedExCup, but was just edged out by Scottie Scheffler at East Lake. We don't really question Morikawa's ball-striking, but what was so impressive about his 2024 season was that he ranked 10th in SG: Around-the-Green and ninth in scrambling. He had never previously been inside the top-80 in either of those categories since he came on the PGA Tour. If Morikawa keeps performing on and around the greens, he could be in for a big season in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Misses cut in Scotland
July 13, 2025
Morikawa recorded a two-day total of four-over at the Genesis Scottish Open to miss the cut by five strokes.
ANALYSIS
Morikawa was inside the cut-line heading into the back-nine on Friday, but he played the final nine holes in five-over to badly miss the weekend. His struggles were primarily with his short game, where he lost 4.7 strokes around the green and putting combined across the two rounds. Morikawa enters next week's Open Championship with just one top-10 across his last 10 starts.

Morikawa seemed poised to easily secure a victory at the Tournament of Champions, but a six-shot lead slipped away from him on the back-nine, setting the tone for his 2022-23 campaign. He had a very inconsistent summer given how good he hits the ball, including four missed cuts in a nine-event stretch. Morikawa did end 2023 strong with a final-round 63 to win the ZOZO Championship. That was his first win since he notched his second career major championship at the 2021 Open Championship. Morikawa had another outstanding year with the irons at second in SG: Approach, but struggled once again on and around the greens. If he can get just fractionally better in each of those areas, Morikawa could achieve big things in 2024 with a renewed confidence.
Morikawa had a very strange 2021-22 season. He got off to a pretty incredible start with top-seven finishes in his first four events, but over his final 14 stroke play events he had just three top-20 finishes. Fortunately they happened to be the Masters, U.S. Open, and first playoff event. Still, that is a bit of a letdown after two straight seasons of winning multiple times including a major. Morikawa has never been a great putter, but has the ability to pop on certain weeks like the 2021 Open Championship. He ranked top-three in SG: Approach for the third straight season, but 152nd in SG: Around-the-Green is a clear area for improvement that could lead to more times in contention in 2022-23.
Morikawa staked his claim as an elite-level PGA Tour pro when he won his second career major at the Open Championship in July, a win that followed his first WGC title just months earlier. Only a few years into his PGA Tour career, Morikawa has made quite the impression on the PGA Tour. There's no doubt that he's the real deal and he's clearly a first-round pick in drafts, but his salary is a bit too high for salary cap leagues this season.
The 23-year-old is an absolute star in the making. He was able to breakthrough on the big stage at the PGA Championship, putting together a closing stretch for the ages that will be remembered by his tee shot at the par-4 16th that set up an eagle. Morikawa's ball striking is already one of, if not the best on the PGA Tour right now. He lost strokes both around the greens and with the putter, showing that his potential is even higher in 2020-21.
Morikawa was one of a handful of golfers that turned pro in the middle of the season that had a lot of success. In fact, Morikawa was the most successful of that bunch as he not only picked-up his first win, but he also managed a runner-up and a T4 in just nine starts. His win did come at an opposite-field event, but his runner-up came at the 3M and there was plenty of fire power in that field. Morikawa has plenty of game and he'll continue to improve, but he might not be a great option in salary cap formats this season. It's one thing to have success during a short time span when there are no expectations. It's another when you are a full member and suddenly it's not just a handful of tournaments, it's a lifestyle.
