Nick Dunlap

20-Year-Old Golfer
2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was quite the rookie season for Dunlap in 2024. He started by winning in his first start of the season at the American Express. Predictably for a 20 year-old, his game fell off after that, as he likely struggled to focus after finding things so easy to come by in his first start. He spent the next few months popping up here and there, but never really leaving a mark, until late-July where he picked up win No. 2 at the Barracuda Championship. He proceeded to miss his next two cuts, but this time, he pulled himself together much more quickly when he posted a T5 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which was a playoff event. Dunlap's ceiling could be quite high, but he set the bar pretty high for the upcoming season by winning two times in 2024. His ascent should continue this year, but it's doubtful that he can improve significantly on his 2024 numbers. Read Past Outlooks
Earns Rookie of the Year honors
December 19, 2024
Dunlap was named the 2024 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, the PGA Tour announced Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Going into 2024 Dunlap would have never thought in his wildest dreams that he would earn PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors. He was going into his sophomore season at Alabama looking to help the Tide compete in the SEC. Everything changed when he got a sponsors invite to play in The American Express in January after winning the U.S. Amateur the year prior. Dunlap put on a clinic in Palm Springs, which even included shooting a 60 in round three to propel him to being the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991. Dunlap was faced with the tough decision on whether or not to turn pro and be eligible for all Signature Events the rest of the season, or finish out his collegiate career. Dunlap made the choice to turn pro immediately. It was not easy for him after that as he felt the full grind of what being a PGA Tour pro is all about. That said, he showed his talent by collecting a trio of top-12 finishes at the Houston Open, the Memorial and the Rocket Mortgage, before going an getting Win No. 2 on the PGA Tour at the Barracuda Championship, which was played opposite the Open Championship. That helped Dunlap make the FedExCup Playoffs and reach the BMW Championship, meaning he will be exempt for all 2025 Signature Events. Dunlap's upside is sky high and the soon to be 21-year-old is definitely a player to watch going into next season.
