2025 Fantasy Outlook
Following a rookie season in which he qualified for the playoffs, Stevens wasn't able to replicate the same success in 2024. He only managed three top-10s, one of which came in a team event and the other two against weaker fields. He even dropped down to the Korn Ferry Tour for one event in the summer, finishing one shot back. His stats indicate that there's potential for a breakout - he was 47th in total strokes gained and 17th off the tee, but it hasn't materialized yet. His iron play is his only weakness, and entering just his third season on Tour, his future still appears bright. Read Past Outlooks
Runner-up in Twin Cities
July 27, 2025
Stevens closed with a final round five-under 66 at the 3M Open, finishing one shot behind champion Kurt Kitayama.
ANALYSIS
Stevens began the day one shot off the lead but had an uneven start with two birdies and two bogeys on the front-nine and trailed by six shots heading into the back-nine. He surged to get within one of the lead with five birdies thereafter, but had to settle for the runner-up result after after narrowly missing holing out for birdie on the par-5 18th. Stevens was led by his short game, where he gained 11.3 strokes around the green and on the putting surface combined for the week. The third top-3 finish of the year has Stevens up to 27th in the FedExCup Standings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Stevens' rookie campaign featured a good start to the year with four top-15s over a seven tournament stretch, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open. However, he only recorded one top-25 finish over his final 20 events. The strengh of his game is cleary his length as he averaged 310 yards off-the-tee last season. However, he's pretty wild with his driver and is a below average iron player and putter. He'll need to improve a bit in each of those areas, otherwise he may be relegated back to the Korn Ferry Tour in 2025.
Stevens made the cut in 18 of 23 events played on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2022, but it was his clutch T12 at the KFT Championship that earned him a PGA Tour card for 2022-23. He ultimately ranked third among his KFT peers in GIR percentage and 12th in ball striking, but just 74th in par-5 scoring. Sanders managed to make the cut in each of his two starts at the PGA Tour level earlier this year, placing T55 at the Honda Classic and T49 at the U.S. Open in his major championship debut.
