C.T. Pan

32-Year-Old Golfer
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pan suffered a wrist injury in The RSM Classic, only adding insult to injury for the seventh-year pro, who fell out of the Top 120 in the fall and will only have conditional status for the 2024 season. Pan's injury is worth monitoring, but his upcoming schedule will be limited and isn't a worthwhile DFS target at this point. Read Past Outlooks
Leads in driving accuracy in Japan
October 28, 2024
Pan closed with a four-under 66 to finish in a tie for sixth place at the ZOZO Championship.
ANALYSIS
Pan is not a long driver by any means, but he did lead the field this week in driving accuracy, which also helped him rank fifth in SG: Approach. Pan was also sixth in scrambling at Narashino Country Club. The 32-year-old can be a frustrating player because he's failed to make the weekend in six of his last ten starts, but the other four were top-25 finishes, including now a pair of top-10s. Pan moves up to 94th in the FedExCup Fall standings and will likely make a couple more starts before the year is over.

Pan had yet another solid, yet unspectacular season, with his best result being a T-6 finish in the opening event of the season. He's a prototypical example of an average player across the board, as he simply doesn't do anything great or poorly. Pan should factor in this season as a reliable cut maker with limited upside, as he's only posted seven top-5 finishes over six PGA Tour seasons.
The highlight of Pan's 2020-21 season was surviving a seven-man playoff to win a bronze medal in the Olympics. His results the last couple seasons have been more inconsistent as he's made half his cuts. Statistically, his iron play has always been his strength, and he doesn't really do anything poorly. Expect him to have enough top-10 finishes to keep his card for another season.
There's no other way to put this - Pan is coming off a terrible 2019-20 season. He made the cut in just nine of 19 starts and scored only one top-25. Fortunately for Pan, he was already exempt through the upcoming season because of a win he picked up the previous season. With that in mind, at this price and with full status, he's a must have for this season as prior to this past season, Pan's average earnings were more than $1.7 million.
Pan has improved incrementally in each of his first three seasons on the PGA Tour. This past seasons, Pan picked-up a win and a third-place finish on his way to over $2.3 million in earnings. While Pan continues to improve, the pace just isn't enough to justify a salary cap selection this season. With that said, Pan holds plenty of value in all other formats this season.
Pan fared well in his first season on the PGA Tour two years ago as he won over $1.2 million and finished inside the top-100 on the season-ending FedEx points list. He backed-up that effort with an even better second season where he earned over $1.8 million and finished in the top-70 on the FedEx points list. The big reason for the increased production was his number of top-10s, which jumped from four to 10 in his second season. Pan has struggled on the greens in his first two seasons and it his improvement from year-one to year-two was due to better ball striking. The problem is, he already improved his ball striking last season, so he'll have to further increase it this season or somehow figure out how to putt. Neither will be easy, which means he's not a great salary cap option this season.
Pan missed more cuts than he made last season and he posted only three top-10s in 29 starts, but luckily for Pan, one of those top-10s was a runner-up showing at the Farmers Insurance Open. With only one PGA Tour season under his belt, there's simply no way to tell which way Pan will go in his second season. The missed cuts are certainly a concern as most guys in this range are at least making 60-70 percent of their cuts. As such, it would be wise to wait on Pan and see how he performs in year two.
If there's a sleeper in this bunch it's Pan. Another Olympian (T30), he had a whopping seven top-10s on the Web.com Tour this year, which got him a card even without a win. The best finish was a playoff loss at the LECOM Health Challenge. He was 15th in greens hit and ninth in putting average. Do that on the next level and he'll be headed back to more Olympics and find himself in the PGA Tour winner's circle too.
