2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kanaya is a seven-time winner on the Japan Tour and a former top-ranked amateur in the world. He will be a PGA Tour rookie in 2025 that has already appeared in 11 majors and previously cracked the top-50 of the OWGR. Kanaya got his shot at PGA Tour Q-School and made the most of it by finishing third and earning a card at age 26. There are valid questions on how Kanaya's game will translate to a full season on the PGA Tour, but he is wise beyond his years and is one of the best Japan has to offer. Read Past Outlooks

Leads in SG: Putting at Craig Ranch
May 5, 2025
Kanaya fired a six-under 65 on Sunday at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to finish in a share of fifth place.
ANALYSIS
Kanaya had a consistent week in his debut at TPC Craig Ranch, posting four rounds of 68 or better that was highlighted by a bogey-free final round. He was fueled by his play on the greens, leading the field for the week in SG: Putting. It's the first individual top-25 finish of the year for Kanaya, who has missed the cut in 7-of-10 events.
