Matti Schmid

27-Year-Old Golfer
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schmid solidified his card through a strong fall that included back-to-back top-5s, but he struggled prior with more missed cuts (12) than made ones (10). His two best results before the fall both came in alternate events, so there's a question on if he can compete against better competition. With that said, Schmid is only 27-years-old and entering his third season on Tour, and is a decent ball striker having ranked 47th in SG: Off-the-tee and also gained strokes on approach. He could take a step forward and compete for a spot in the playoffs in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Falls one shot shy of win
May 26, 2025
Schmid finished in solo second place at the Charles Schwab Challenge after shooting a two-over 72 in the final round.
ANALYSIS
Schmid and Ben Griffin came into the final round tied for the lead. Griffin got off to a fast start with an eagle at 1 and a birdie at 2. Schmid on the other hand was three-over through the first six holes. It was just a battle for most of the day for Schmid who carded six birdies but also six bogeys and a double to come up just one shot short in the end. He was able to still lead in SG: Putting for the week despite ranking 70th in that category on Sunday. The solo second will move him from 101st to 55th in the FedExCup standings and into the projected playoff field. This will also get him into the Memorial Tournament via the Aon Swing 5.

There wasn't really much for Schmid to write home about after finishing the regular season 148th in the FedExCup. Unlike a number of other player, Schmid went right over to Europe to play and stay warm for the FedExCup Fall events. That strategy worked out as he notched a solo third in Bermuda to make a big leap and ultimately secure full playing status again for 2024. Schmid is top-10 on the PGA Tour in driving distance, but the rest of the game needs work if he is going to put together more consistent results. There is certainly long-term upside because of the distance, but there's also a good chance he finds himself in a similar place next fall after only making 12-of-30 cuts in 2022-23.
Schmid made two appearances on the PGA Tour in July when he tied for eighth at the Barbasol Championship before making another cut one week later at the Barracuda Championship. The 24-year-old Louisville product earned his PGA Tour card for the 2022-23 later in the summer via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, placing T37-T9 at the Albertsons Boise Open and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship. Schmid otherwise spent a majority of his 2022 campaign on the DP World Tour where he ranks ninth in driving distance.
