2025 Fantasy Outlook
2024 was an important year for Ramey as his two-year winner's exemption was ending, but he came through with seven top-25s to finish 117th in the FedExCup. His only top-10 was a playoff loss at the Zurich Classic team event, however, and he's failed to post an individual top-10 since his alternate event win in March of 2022. Ramey's ball-striking shortcomings are well evident in his statistics - 129th in SG: Off-the-tee, 162nd in approach and 151st in distance. His short game is quite solid and picks up a lot of the slack, but it doesn't lead to enough birdies to contend. Without some drastic improvement with his long game, Ramey will struggle to maintain his full status past this year. Read Past Outlooks
Drops down leaderboard
November 17, 2024
Ramey fired a three-over 74 on Sunday to finish the Butterfield Bermuda Championship tied for 29th place.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old appeared poised for one of his best finishes of the season, entering Sunday tied for eighth place and shot an even 36 on the front nine. However, Ramey struggled to close, carding a double bogey on hole 11 and bogeys on holes 16 and 18 to finish three-over on the day. He's now made the cut in five consecutive tournaments and will likely continue climbing the FedExCup Fall Standings if he maintain his strong greens-in-regulation rate (79.17 percent, tied for second-best) from this past weekend.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
Ramey's 2022-23 season got off to a disastrous start as he made just seven of his first 19 cuts with a best finish of T-28 before righting the ship midway through the season. Ultimately, he posted six top-25s over his final 16 events with just three missed cuts and that was enough to finish just inside the top-125 and maintain his card for another season. Nevertheless, there's nothing in Ramey's game that signals a breakthrough third season considering he lost shots in every strokes-gained category last season. Expect him to be firmly on the FedEx Cup bubble next season.
Ramey made the FedEx Cup Playoffs in his rookie season but mostly struggled, making just 11 cuts in 28 events while finishing 159th in strokes-gained total. It's hard to be too optimistic about his potential considering the only area he's above average in is accuracy off-the-tee. Ramey will likely be in trouble of keeping his card without significant improvement in his short game.
Ramey finished behind only Will Zalatoris in actual scoring average on the way to 24 total top-25s and a whopping 40 made cuts in 43 events played during the Korn Ferry Tour's super season, which included a win at the 2021 Live and Work in Maine Open. Ramey also ranked seventh or better among his KFT peers in birdie average, GIR percentage and driving accuracy. However, he's made only two career appearances on the PGA Tour dating to his 2015 debut at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. On the bright side, Ramey hasn't missed a single cut since the KFT's Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in August of 2020.
