2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eckroat had quite an interesting start to his PGA Tour career in 2023. He missed a bunch of cuts, but then got hot for a stretch and secured his card for 2024. Entering this past season his inconsistency was a bit worrisome, but he improved his cuts made percentage went from just under 60% in 2023 to just under 80% in 2024. He also happened upon his first PGA Tour win early in 2024 before notching another one in the fall. The result was nearly a $2.5 million improvement in earnings and what looks to be a solid foundation to a long career. The question entering this season is, can he continue this upward trend? It's certainly possible, after all, he ranked 129th in SG: Putting this past season, so even though he overperformed on most ball-striking metrics, there's still room to improve on the greens.

Begins season with top-15 finish
January 6, 2025
Eckroat finished in a share of 15th place at The Sentry following his six-under 67 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
Eckroat finished in the top-20 for the fifth time in his last seven starts. Usually it's the ball-striking that carries him, but this week it was the putter which gained him nearly 4.6 strokes on the field, good enough for fifth-best for the tournament. Eckroat is a dangerous player if he putts well and a third PGA Tour win may not be very far away if that keeps up. He will tee it up at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Eckroat was one of the marquee rookies on Tour last season following a storied amateur career, and he showed flashes with a runner-up and four top-10 finishes. He also dealt with inconsistency with 17 cuts made and 15 missed cuts. His ball-striking ability shows signs of promise as he was 34th in strokes-gained off-the-tee and also gained shots on approach. A top-10 at the U.S. Open shows that his game holds up against difficult setups and tough competition, but the lack of an elite skill currently leaves the question of if he'll be able to take a major step forward in his sophomore campaign.
Despite ranking top-10 on the Korn Ferry Tour in scoring average, GIR percentage and birdie average this past season, Eckroat finished outside of the top 25 in the regular season points list. However, the 23-year-old Oklahoma State product clutched up with a runner-up effort at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship to earn his PGA Tour card for the first time. He appeared in nine PGA Tour events over the past two seasons, notably securing top-25s at the Bermuda Championship and the 3M Open in 2021.
