2025 Fantasy Outlook
After an early-season win at the Mexico Open and a T4 a week later, it appeared as though the sky was the limit for Knapp, after all, he had finished 3rd at the Farmers Insurance Open two events prior, so he was in the midst of a four event stretch where he finished no worse than T4, what could go wrong? Well, sometimes getting a win on the PGA Tour actually sets a golfer back, for a spell, sometimes for longer as complacency can set in. Maybe that's what happened or maybe it was something else. Whatever the case, Knapp did not finish the season well, posting only one more top-20 after the T4 that closed his fantastic stretch. Knapp was more of a grinder at the lower levels, often showing more consistency than upside, so perhaps the early success threw him for a loop. Whatever the case, he's a risky play at his current number in salary cap leagues this season. Read Past Outlooks

Settles for third at Zurich Classic
April 27, 2025
Knapp and Frankie Capan III finished in solo third place at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans following a two-under 70 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
It was interesting to see how this duo would work this week after Knapp was in the mix of a pretty decent season, while Capan had really struggled in his rookie campaign. This format seemed to neutralize everything and both players were able to really feed off each other. The duo came to the par-3 17th tied for the lead, but Capan hit a poor tee shot and left them in the water and scrambling for bogey. Capan redeemed himself with a nice bogey putt, but they were unable to take advantage of the par-5 18th to throw anything at the leaders of Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin, who made birdie at 17. Knapp still has to be happy with the way he played and he now moves up to 40th in the FedExCup standings. He will tee it up at the Byron Nelson next week as well.

PGA National was as gettable as ever, and no one capitalized more than Joe Highsmith, who picked up his first PGA Tour victory at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Knapp managed to finish 13th on the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour points list despite ending his campaign without a single top-3 result, but he enjoyed one of the steadier seasons imaginable with just two missed cuts in 22 starts while racking up 15 top-25s and 10 top-10s. The former UCLA Bruin ranked second in driving distance, second in scrambling, fourth in putting average and fifth in total birdies, showcasing quite an impressive all-around game. He's made just four career appearances at the PGA Tour level, but Knapp's KFT metrics should put him on the deep sleeper radar.
