2025 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Runner-up with Rasmus in NOLA
April 27, 2025
Hojgaard and Rasmus Hojgaard finished solo second at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans following a four-under 68 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
The Danish twins missed the cut together in this event last year, but they were determined to not have the same result again this time around. After a 13-under 59 in the opening round of best ball, the Hojgaard's stayed in contention the rest of the week, but ultimately would fall just one shot shy of earning their first PGA Tour victories. There was a bit of luck involved on a drop on the 72nd hole, but it worked out to where they were able to make birdie and secure the solo second. It's been a slow start for both players, but this big haul of points will move Nicolai into 75th in the FedExCup standings. He will look to carry that momentum into the next individual event next week at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hojgaard earned special temporary status on the PGA Tour after his first start where he finished runner-up in Punta Cana. He added four top-25s in a five start stretch later in the season to virtually solidfy that he would have full status for 2024 via non-member points. The 22-year-old also impressed the world at the Ryder Cup as a rookie. The Dane has three career DP World Tour wins, one of which was the 2023 DP World Tour Championship. Hojgaard will be one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour and he also ranks fourth in approaches from 50-125 yards and eighth in putts per GIR show that he is already starting to round out his entire game. The upside here is extremely high, but a full season on the PGA Tour will certainly test him mentally.
