Matti Schmid

27-Year-Old Golfer
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schmid solidified his card through a strong fall that included back-to-back top-5s, but he struggled prior with more missed cuts (12) than made ones (10). His two best results before the fall both came in alternate events, so there's a question on if he can compete against better competition. With that said, Schmid is only 27-years-old and entering his third season on Tour, and is a decent ball striker having ranked 47th in SG: Off-the-tee and also gained strokes on approach. He could take a step forward and compete for a spot in the playoffs in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Places 69th at The Open
July 21, 2025
Schmid closed with a one-under 70 on Sunday at The Open Championship to finish eight-over and alone in 69th place.
ANALYSIS
Schmid ranked top-5 among the field in both driving distance and GIR percentage during the final round at Royal Portrush, but he also lost 2.17 strokes with the flat stick Sunday. Nonetheless, he finished 13th among his peers in SG: Off-the-Tee for the week, and Schmid rose one spot to No. 67 in the FedExCup standings with the made cut. He'll make another tournament appearance this week at the 3M Open where he placed T12-T20 the past two years.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
There wasn't really much for Schmid to write home about after finishing the regular season 148th in the FedExCup. Unlike a number of other player, Schmid went right over to Europe to play and stay warm for the FedExCup Fall events. That strategy worked out as he notched a solo third in Bermuda to make a big leap and ultimately secure full playing status again for 2024. Schmid is top-10 on the PGA Tour in driving distance, but the rest of the game needs work if he is going to put together more consistent results. There is certainly long-term upside because of the distance, but there's also a good chance he finds himself in a similar place next fall after only making 12-of-30 cuts in 2022-23.
Schmid made two appearances on the PGA Tour in July when he tied for eighth at the Barbasol Championship before making another cut one week later at the Barracuda Championship. The 24-year-old Louisville product earned his PGA Tour card for the 2022-23 later in the summer via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, placing T37-T9 at the Albertsons Boise Open and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship. Schmid otherwise spent a majority of his 2022 campaign on the DP World Tour where he ranks ninth in driving distance.
