2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hoey's 2024 campaign was a tale of two seasons. The Tour rookie missed his first four cuts and had just one top-25 through 15 events, but he flipped the switch thereafter with four top-10s, including a playoff loss in an alterate event. His ball-striking numbers indicate that he's likely not just a flash in the pan considering he ranked ninth in SG: Off-the-tee, 83rd in approach and 19th in GIR. If he can get off to a better start in 2025 and improve his short game, Hoey is a good candidate to make the playoffs next year. Read Past Outlooks
First in SG: OTT at John Deere
Hoey closed with a five-under 66 on Sunday at the John Deere Classic to finish tied for 11th place.
ANALYSIS
Hoey had a solid week with four rounds in the 60s after carding birdies on three of the final four holes to narrowly miss out on a top-10 finish. He did it despite losing nearly five strokes on the greens, and he led the field for the tournament in SG: Off-the-tee. The second-year Tour pro has posted four top-15s this season, all of which have come over his last 11 starts.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hoey's maiden Korn Ferry Tour victory arrived not long after he began the 2023 season with top-10 results in half of his first 10 outings, eventually winning the Visit Knoxville Open in late May. The former University of Southern California standout becomes a PGA Tour rookie at 28 years old, and his patience could pay off in a big way if the driver continues to cooperate. He paced the entire KFT in total driving and ranked fourth in par-5 scoring throughout the 2023 campaign, but the putter remains a concern.
