2026 Fantasy Outlook
Cole was unable to carry the momentum from his first two years on Tour into 2025, finishing 76th on the points list despite being qualified for all of the Signature Events. He played a busy schedule once again, teeing-it-up in 32+ events for a third consecutive year, but his four top-10s all came in lesser tiered events. The main problem for Cole is that he's a poor driver of the ball, ranking outside the top 130 in distance and accuracy. His ceiling is capped as a result, even if he does a good job making up for it with the other aspects of the game. Read Past Outlooks
Struggles with Sunday 75
Cole recorded a three-over 75 in the final round of The American Express to finish tied for 27th place.
ANALYSIS
Cole entered Sunday's action in the top-5 and just two shots off the lead, and he got off to a solid start with two birdies in the first eight holes. He struggled thereafter, however, failing to record a birdie while carding three bogeys and a double bogey to tumble down the leaderboard. Cole struggled with his ball striking, losing 3.5 shots from tee to green across two rounds at the Stadium Course.

2024
2023
Cole got out of the gate extremely fast during his rookie season of 2023 and he rarely slowed down through the entire year on his way to capturing ROY honors. With four top-3s and over $5 million in earnings, the bar was set awfully high entering his second season, and while he failed to match his rookie numbers, he still fared pretty well. Cole couldn't find those high-end finishes in 2024, but he did manage five top-10s on his way to over $3 million in earnings. There's little doubt that Cole is going to be a mainstay on the PGA Tour for a while, but the question is -- will he ascend to the next level? It's hard to say this early, but looking solely at his salary cap prospects, he looks like a solid play this season.
