2026 Fantasy Outlook
Eckroat looked to be an up-and-coming player after winning twice in 2024, but he regressed to the mean with only four top-25s across 27 events while failing to post a top-10. The weakness in his game has always been his around the green play, where he ranked 176th in 2025. He's done his best to hide it with above average ball striking, ranking 55th in SG: Off-the-Tee and 54th this past season, but even that wasn't good enough. Eckroat will need to improve on his 119th place finish in the FedExCup next year to retain his card with his two-year exemption winding down, and the potential is there for him to have a bounce back campaign.

T57 at TPC Twin Cities
Eckroat registered a five-under cumulative score at the 3M Open to finish tied with Lucas Glover and Haotong Li for 57th.
ANALYSIS
Eckroat was six-under through the first two rounds at TPC Twin Cities before fading over the weekend with scores of 71-72. He finished in the top-30 in both driving distance and SG: Around, but Eckroat also ranked outside the top-50 in SG: Off-the-Tee and Putting, GIR and birdies. He's finished outside the top-50 in five of his last six tournaments and is 120th in the FedExCup Standings. Eckroat will tee off next week at the Rocket Classic, where he finished T60 last year.

2025
2024
2023
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.
