2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hardy had a rough rookie season in 2021-2022 and although he failed to crack the top-125, he managed to parlay his reduced starts into a great season this past year. Though it was a great season on the surface, there are some concerns. First, his biggest check came at the Zurich, which is a team event. Second, he earned most of his money during the fall portions of the season. Hardy needs to improve against top competition if he's to take the next step. As for this season, he set the bar too high to be considered in a a salary cap league. Read Past Outlooks
Finishes strong to post T8
October 13, 2024
Hardy closed with a six-under 65 on Sunday at the Black Desert Championship to finish 16-under and in a share of eighth place.
ANALYSIS
Hardy made the cut on the number and took full advantage with rounds of 66-65 that consisted of 12 birdies and just one bogey to climb all the way into the top-10. He gained shots in every strokes gained category for the week and ranked in the top-5 in driving accuracy and greens in regulation. The T8 result is Hardy's first top-20 finish of 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Hardy had a decent rookie season, but he didn’t quite meet the lofty expectations that many had for the former Big Ten Player of the Year and First-Team All-American. Nonetheless, he played enough events (21) and made enough cuts (12) to become exempt again for the 2022-2023 season. Hardy is known as one of the better young ball strikers on Tour, but his GIR percentages have been nothing spectacular of late. Hopefully Hardy can work this offseason on translating pure contact into lower scores. If he can, 2023 could be an opportunity for Hardy to establish himself as a PGA mainstay.
Hardy, who was named Big Ten Player of the Year on the way to First-Team All American honors in 2018 at the University of Illinois, posted 19 top-25s on the Korn Ferry Tour throughout the 2020-21 super season. He also made the cut in both of his PGA Tour starts, finishing T14-T42 at the Sony Open and Waste Management Phoenix Open. It should also be noted that he ranked second on the KFT in ball striking and 10th in the all-around ranking, so Hardy definitely has potential to be one of the better rookies at the PGA level.
