Nico Echavarria

Oddly, Echavarria posted wins in his first two PGA Tour seasons, yet this past season, when he failed to win, was by far his most lucrative regular season, earning more in 2025 than he did in the previous two years combined. The reason for this is that his win in 2023 was at an opposite field event and his win in 2024 came during the fall. Often times when a golfer is only winning against weak fields, he fails to make the jump to be competitive against better fields, but Echavarria made that leap this past season, posting a runner-up at the Sony Open and a T6 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Those aren't the strongest of fields, but it's better than what you normally see in the fall. Speaking of the fall, Echavarria continued his strong play this past season well into the fall, providing hope that he can continue his ascention up the PGA Tour ladder this season. Echavarria appears to have enough upside to make him a valuable salary cap selection this season. Read Past Outlooks
