2025 Fantasy Outlook

It was a very solid 2024 season for Harman even if it didn't match his career year of 2023 that was of course highlighted by his Open Championship triumph. Harman was 24th on Tour in SG: Total and went positive in every strokes gained category. That was actually higher than his 2023 season when he ranked 44th in SG: Total and had seven top-10s. His 35th ranking this past season in SG: Approach was a career best and certainly gives him a higher floor than purely relying on his putter to come through and save the day every time. Harman nearly won THE PLAYERS Championship last season and should have a solid chance to get back to the TOUR Championshp in 2025 after missing out by one spot in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Third in SG: OTT at Travelers

June 23, 2025

Harman closed with a two-under 68 on Sunday at the Travelers Championship to finish 10-under and alone in eighth place.

ANALYSIS
Harman began his final round at TPC River Highlands with a double bogey on the par-4 first to quickly drop out of contention, but he played the last 17 holes in four-under-par to salvage his third top-10 result of the season, ultimately ascending seven spots to No. 18 in the FedExCup standings. He ranked third among the Travelers field in SG: Off-the-Tee and seventh in SG: Putting, but Harman lost 1.7 strokes on approach in Connecticut.

There is probably no easier bet to make than Harman of which player will not reach their 2022-23 season earnings in 2024. It was a career season for the 36-year-old who dominated in winning the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool and added another three runner-up finishes. Harman missed eight cuts in a 13-start stretch, but was able to get hot over the summer and rake in the earnings to just over $9 million. A look at the strokes gained numbers tell you he was the 39th best golfer last season, which is likely closer to the range he will finish in earnings in 2024 barring another unbelievable three-month heater with the putter.

2021-22 was the first time in five seasons that Harman made it to the Tour Championship. Most of that was aided by a T3 finish at the playoff opener in Memphis. His T6 finish at St Andrews was his second-best finish in a major, but it was the fourth top-20 in a major in the last two years. This was the first year in Harman's career that he gained strokes in every category. Poor iron play is the reason the 35-year-old has never become a top player, but 66th in SG: Approach this past season was well above his usual average in that category. Harman will be in all the elevated events next season, which should keep his earnings pretty respectable considering his putting and short game prowess.

Harman has been very steady in his 10 years on the PGA Tour. He's earned less than $1 million in a season just one time and he's earned as much as $4 million-plus. His most recent season was one of his best as he posted 12 top-25s and five top-10s. The issue with Harman is his lack of high-end finishes. He does have two wins on the PGA Tour, but none since 2017. There's no reason to expect a regression this season, but there's also no reason to expect a bounce either. As such. Harman is not a good salary cap option this season.

Harman quietly put together another solid season, which included seven top-25s and ranking 33rd in SG: Total. His short game led the way, as he was 16th in SG: Around and eighth in scrambling. Harman is a pretty safe option, finishing inside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings each of the last nine seasons.

Eight years into his PGA Tour career and it's still difficult to figure out Harman. He's not the guy who made just over $900k in 2013, but he's also not the guy who won over $4 million in 2017. This past season, was possibly his worst in the past six years, but with that, there's some value heading into this season. It's hard to imagine that Harman can get close to his production from 2017, but $2 million is certainly not out of the question.

Harman was the surprise of the 2016-2017 season and he picked-up right where he left off last season with top-10s in his first five starts last season. Unfortunately, Harman wasn't able to carry that momentum through the season and he ended the year with a whimper. Harman is a high-end golfer, he's topped $2 million in earnings in three of his past five seasons, but it's hard to look at his 2016-2017 as anything other than an aberration. Harman should continue to produce at a level near what he did last season for the foreseeable future. As such, he's not going to be a good salary cap option unless he has a down season, which again, is unlikely anytime soon.

Harman was one of a few guys in the top-30 last season that made a huge jump from the year prior. There were no signs early in the season that this huge jump was imminent as he had just one top-25 during the fall. As soon as 2017 started though, Harman found another gear. Two top-10s in January were followed by another in April, and a win at the Wells Fargo Championship vaulted Harman into uncharted territory. He carded another top-10 in May and a runner-up at the U.S. Open, and while he faded down the stretch, he still posted career highs in just about every measurable category. With that in mind, it's going to be tough to exceed or even match the numbers from last season, so he's not a great salary cap option this season.

With the exception of one season, Harman has spent the entirety of his five-year career inside the top-60 on the FedEx points list. His lone finish outside the top-60 still resulted in a decent season as he nearly earned $1 million that year. Harman's best season came in 2014 where he picked-up his first and only win on the PGA Tour and amassed nearly $2.5 million in earnings. Harman has regressed in the two seasons that followed, but that puts him in a good spot for a rebound this season. While his upside to this point isn't all that high, he comes at a fairly inexpensive price this year, so he's worth a look in salary cap leagues. In draft leagues, he's a seventh- or eighth-round pick.

Harman had a huge jump up in earnings last year from just under $1 million in 2013, to just over $2.4 million last year. In fact, Harman earned more last year than he did in his first two seasons combined. While it's certainly promising to see him play very well in his third year, it's also hard to imagine that he can pull off a similar trick next season. His ceiling could be higher than $2.4 million, but it's too much of a risk to take him in a salary cap league this season. In draft leagues he should go somewhere around the 4th round.

Harman struggled for much of the 2013 season, but a T3 at the Wyndham Championship in August pushed him into the top-100 on the money list. It also gained him entrance into the Fed Ex Cup Playoffs, but once there, he didn't play well. Harman regressed in year-two on the PGA Tour, which is both good and bad. Bad is obviously that he played poorly for long stretches last year, but the good is that we know he can play better, as he proved in 2012. With that in mind, he's not a great salary cap option his year, but he could provide some value in a draft format in the 90-100 range.

Harman had his fare share of struggles in 2012, but he kept plugging away and it paid off in the end. Harman teed it up 30 times last season, making 21 cuts. He made the top 5 just once last season, but he did manage nine top-25s. It's hard to tell where Harman's upside is after just one season, but he looks the part, and he played well during the meat of the PGA TOUR season last year. Harman is worth a shot in salary cap leagues. He won't likely be on many radars prior to the season, so he could be classified as a bit of a sleeper this year. In draft leagues, he should be available in the seventh or eighth round.

Harman's joining the PGA Tour in 2012 is the baseball equivalent of a rookie getting called up from Double-A. Harmon played on the obscure Egolf Professional Tour last season. There's no reason a Nationwide Tour grad couldn't capture a win or two in his first season, but Harman is coming from nowhere essentially and it probably will take some time to adjust.
