2024 Fantasy Outlook
Dahmen became a fan favorite following his feature on Netflix's 'Full Swing' and one has to wonder if it played a part in him having his worst season in several years. Across 24 events in 2023, he made 13 cuts with only four top-25s. If you're looking for some optimism, there's room for improvement considering only five players had a statistically worse putting season, and he was a respectable 51st in strokes-gained tee-to-green. Still, Dahmen's best days appear to be in the rear view and making the top-125 will likely be a yearly battle going forward. Read Past Outlooks
Tallies 24 birdies in Mexico
November 12, 2024
Dahmen fired a four-under 68 on Sunday at the World Wide Technology Championship to finish 15-under and tied for 14th.
ANALYSIS
Dahmen averaged an impressive six birdies per round throughout his week at El Cardonal, where he also ranked fourth among the field in scrambling and fifth in putts per GIR. He improved three spots to No. 121 in the FedExCup Fall standings as a result of his T14 in Mexico, and he'll tee it up again this week at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship where he'll be making his Port Royal G.C. debut.

Dahmen once again showed in the 2021-22 season that he's a reliable cut maker, seeing the weekend in 19-of-26 events. However, the momentum slowed over the summer as he only recorded one top-25 finish since May. He's a precise driver of the ball but fantasy players should be concerned about his recent subpar performance and his suspect short game.
Dahmen scored his first PGA Tour win in March at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. After a lot of missed cuts early in the season, Dahmen ended up making the cut in six of his last seven starts. Dahmen did not have a good season with the putter, but he is very accurate off the tee and ranked top-15 in proximity to the hole. Dahmen made more money each of the previous three seasons despite not winning. He still has some room to grow.
Dahmen put together his best season to date in 2019-20, notching a career-high five top-10s. Ball striking led the way for him, as he was 30th in SG: Tee-to-green and and fifth in proximity to the hole. Another $2 million season is certainly within reason.
Dahmen had a quiet, yet productive rookie season two years ago and last year, he had another quiet, yet productive season. Dahmen posted a runner-up finish in each of his first two seasons on the PGA Tour, yet he managed to bank about $400k more this past season than he did in his rookie season. In other words, he improved from year-one to year-two. Considering year-one was pretty solid, it was no small feat to significantly improve upon it. The question is though, can he continue this rise? At this price, he's a risky play in salary cap formats, but there are definitely signs that he could have some value this season.
Dahmen has a very productive first-season on the PGA Tour as he slid comfortably inside the top-125 last season. Dahmen got off to a slow start, but he really turned it on during the second-half of the season. Dahmen teed it up five times in the month of July and he finished inside the top-25 in each of those five events. He finished inside the top-10 in three of those events as well. He played well outside of that stretch in July as well, capturing four additional top-25s a few months prior. In all, Dahmen showed an amazing level of consistency for a rookie on the PGA Tour. The question will be if he can turn some of those top-25s into top-5s. As long as he keeps giving himself a chance, the odds are in his favor. As such, Dahmen makes for a solid salary cap option this season.
In his first full season on the PGA Tour, Dahmen earned just $344,824 in 16 events, making seven cuts and posting two top-25s in the process. He'll retain his card thanks to a top-25 result in the Web.com Tour Finals, but figures to remain quiet in terms of relevance in season-long fantasy formats.
Dahmen used two T3s during the regular season to snag the 25th spot on the Web.com money list. He's played in only one PGA Tour event, in 2014, and he made the cut. But he shouldn't expect that to be a weekly occurrence this season.
