2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eckroat had quite an interesting start to his PGA Tour career in 2023. He missed a bunch of cuts, but then got hot for a stretch and secured his card for 2024. Entering this past season his inconsistency was a bit worrisome, but he improved his cuts made percentage went from just under 60% in 2023 to just under 80% in 2024. He also happened upon his first PGA Tour win early in 2024 before notching another one in the fall. The result was nearly a $2.5 million improvement in earnings and what looks to be a solid foundation to a long career. The question entering this season is, can he continue this upward trend? It's certainly possible, after all, he ranked 129th in SG: Putting this past season, so even though he overperformed on most ball-striking metrics, there's still room to improve on the greens.

T11 at John Deere Classic
Eckroat closed with a final round three-under 68 to finish in a tie for 11th at 15-under par in the John Deere Classic.
ANALYSIS
After opening the John Deere Classic with an eight-under 63, he wasn't able to follow it up in his next three rounds after going 71,67,68 to finish tied for 11th. Eckroat's ball striking in the first round really allowed him to shoot low and get off to a good start, as he gained over five shots on the field in SG: Approach. That solid ball striking seemed to tail off as the week went on and Eckroat wasn't able to knock down enough putts to really give him a chance to contend. Still, Eckroat will take a top-20 finish and the positive momentum after only finishing in the top-30 once in his last 15 starts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Eckroat was one of the marquee rookies on Tour last season following a storied amateur career, and he showed flashes with a runner-up and four top-10 finishes. He also dealt with inconsistency with 17 cuts made and 15 missed cuts. His ball-striking ability shows signs of promise as he was 34th in strokes-gained off-the-tee and also gained shots on approach. A top-10 at the U.S. Open shows that his game holds up against difficult setups and tough competition, but the lack of an elite skill currently leaves the question of if he'll be able to take a major step forward in his sophomore campaign.
