2025 Fantasy Outlook
Novak's third season on Tour was his best one yet, and although he didn't do enough to qualify for the playoffs, he made a solid 19-of-26 cuts with five top-10s. His biggest improvement was with his iron play, where he went from 99th in SG: Approach last year to 23rd in 2024. There aren't any glaring weaknesses in his game, and the biggest question heading into 2025 will be if he can work his way into contention more often and play better against stronger fields. He's a sleeper option with potential to continue to improve. Read Past Outlooks

Falls in playoff to JT
April 20, 2025
Novak was defeated by Justin Thomas on the first playoff hole and had to settle for second place at the RBC Heritage.
ANALYSIS
Novak has been in the mix for a win a number of times over the last year or so, but was unable to get the job done. That unfortunately continued on Sunday. Novak was in the final pairing and was holding steady at two-under-par through much of the back-nine. He was able to tie the lead with a big birdie putt on the par-4 16th. Novak then had a great chance to win in regulation at 18 from around eight feet. The nerves seem to get the best of him, however, as he pulled it badly and forced a playoff. Novak hit his approach to around 30 feet on the first extra hole and came up short on the putt, while Thomas would later roll in a 20-footer for birdie to end things. Novak's day will come soon enough if he continues to play really solid golf like this. He will pair up with Ben Griffin for the Zurich Classic next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Bolstered by ninth-place finishes at the Verlo Texas Open and the RBC Canadian Open, Novak salvaged a medicore year, but relatively solid considering he's only played a full PGA Tour schedule for two seasons. Novak took a step forward in his driving effectivenss, which was his Achilles heel last year. An apt putter, Novak will continue to improve as he works on other aspects of his game.
Novak didn’t have a particularly notable rookie season, but he did just enough to earn fully exempt status for 2023. It will be interesting to monitor the 27-year-old American heading into his second full year on Tour. His strengths are his scrambling and putting. Perhaps he can add some distance and consistency to his game this offseason. Historically, Novak makes just over half of his PGA cuts.
Novak's 10 top-10s on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2020-21 included a win at the 2020 LECOM Suncoast Classic where he played his final 54 holes in 20-under par. Additionally, the 26-year-old made the cut in 10 of his last 11 KFT starts dating to a T9 at the REX Hospital Open. However, Novak ranked 64th or worse on the Korn Ferry Tour in driving distance and GIR percentage.
