2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gotterup got off to a slow start in 2025 as he missed the cut in 8 of his first 12 starts. He started to find his groove as the season went on racking up eight top-30s over his next nine starts. Then the true breakout happened. Gotterup stared down Rory McIlroy in the final group on Sunday at the Scottish Open and picked up his second PGA Tour victory. He rode that momentum into The Open Championship next week and finished solo third. After a T10 the following week at the 3M Open, there was a lot of talk about putting Gotterup on the Ryder Cup team. The FedExCup playoffs were mostly a disappointment, however, and Gotterup would get passed up on by U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley. Nevertheless, Gotterup's play over the second half of the 2025 season leaves plenty of reason for optimism going into 2026. He was arguably the best driver on the PGA Tour over that time, and also saw huge strides in his iron play, short game and putting. If Gotterup is able to put it all together for a full season, the potential is certainly there for him to one day become a top player on Tour. Read Past Outlooks
Top-25 at Augusta National
Gotterup posted a two-under cumulative score at The Masters to finish in a six-way tie for 24th.
ANALYSIS
Gotterup's three-under 69 score Friday was the only round that he shot under par at Augusta National. He ranked fifth in the field in driving distance, 11th in SG: Around-the-Green and in the top-25 in GIR, SG: Off-the-Tee and SG: Tee-to-Green. Gotterup has finished in the top-25 in six of nine tournaments this season, including victories at the Sony Open and WM Phoenix Open and a T6 at the Texas Children's Houston Open. He's in the field for next week's RBC Heritage in what will be his first appearance at the Harbour Town Golf Links course.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
It didn't take Gotterup long to pick up his first PGA Tour win, as he took down the alternate event Myrtle Beach Classic in May in his rookie campaign. That was one of the few bright spots for the 2022 Haskins Award winner, as the win was his only top-10, and he only had four top-25s all year. He's one of the longest hitters on Tour (fifth in driving distance), but he's also incredibily sporadic off the tee and was only 163rd in SG: Approach. Unless he cleans up those areas significantly, he's likely to continue to be inconsistent, but his length advantage is massive and should occasionally get him into contention on his spike putting weeks.
