2026 Fantasy Outlook
It's not often to find a 24-year-old with as much experience as Hojgaard. The 2023 Ryder Cupper is entering his fourth year on Tour after finishing 88th on the points list. That feels a bit lower than he should be, but Hojgaard typically doesn't play stateside until February and spends most of the fall on the DP World Tour. Although he's yet to win on the PGA Tour, he has the type of game that makes you think it's only a matter of time. He ranked third in driving distance and 11th in SG: Approach ,which helped lead to a pair of top-10s on each Tour. Consistency can be an issue at times, but the ceiling should give fantasy managers plenty to be excited about. Read Past Outlooks
Bid to join playoff falls short
Hojgaard shot a five-under 67 in the final round of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship to finish in a share of third place.
ANALYSIS
Hojgaard pulled off one of the best shots of the week on the 72nd hole. Needing an eagle to have any chance of a playoff, the Dane put his approach from over 280 yards away to within 20 feet. The putt was perfect speed, but just left an inch out on the high side. Hojgaard would have to ultimately settle for a share of third with Rory McIlroy. Hojgaard has now won in 2025, but now has his fourth top-4 finish of the year across both the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. He will look to close things out strong next week at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai where he has finished T4 and 1st on two previous occasions.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Hojgaard wasted little time getting accustomed to the PGA Tour, finishing runner-up at Torrey Pines in his first start, but he only picked up one other top-20 at Augusta the rest of the year. Not to be confused with his brother, Rasmus, who will be joining the Tour in 2025, Nicolai stormed onto the scene on the DP World Tour in 2023 to make the Ryder Cup team, but has struggled to recapture that form. He's a long hitter and quality ball striker with a high ceiling, but fantasy managers are going to need some patience due to his inconsistency.
