2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hojgaard wasted little time getting accustomed to the PGA Tour, finishing runner-up at Torrey Pines in his first start, but he only picked up one other top-20 at Augusta the rest of the year. Not to be confused with his brother, Rasmus, who will be joining the Tour in 2025, Nicolai stormed onto the scene on the DP World Tour in 2023 to make the Ryder Cup team, but has struggled to recapture that form. He's a long hitter and quality ball striker with a high ceiling, but fantasy managers are going to need some patience due to his inconsistency. Read Past Outlooks

Receives special invite to Masters
January 8, 2025
Hojgaard accepted a special invitation to compete in the 2025 Masters Tournament, Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Fred Ridley announced Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Masters has a long history rewarding international players who otherwise would not get into the field with an invitation if deemed deserving. LIV Star Joaquin Niemann was also given a special invitation on Wednesday. Hojgaard made waves at the Masters last year when he was in contention all week, and even led the tournament in round three, before eventually fading to T16. Hojgaard was ranked outside the top 50 in the OWGR at the end of 2024, and would have had to either win a PGA Tour event before the Masters in April, or make his way back inside the top 50 the week before tournament week. The Dane will no longer have to worry about that and he will get to compete alongside his brother Rasmus Hojgaard, who is ranked inside the top 50.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hojgaard earned special temporary status on the PGA Tour after his first start where he finished runner-up in Punta Cana. He added four top-25s in a five start stretch later in the season to virtually solidfy that he would have full status for 2024 via non-member points. The 22-year-old also impressed the world at the Ryder Cup as a rookie. The Dane has three career DP World Tour wins, one of which was the 2023 DP World Tour Championship. Hojgaard will be one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour and he also ranks fourth in approaches from 50-125 yards and eighth in putts per GIR show that he is already starting to round out his entire game. The upside here is extremely high, but a full season on the PGA Tour will certainly test him mentally.
