2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hirata opened his 2025 Korn Ferry Tour campaign with a runner-up effort at The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic, and he also posted a mid-summer stretch of T3-T2 at the NV5 Invitational and the Utah Championship to secure a top-20 position on the Points List. As a result, the 25-year-old out of Japan will become a PGA Tour rookie in 2026, though his underlying KFT metrics were relatively pedestrian aside from a 71.25 FIR percentage. Read Past Outlooks
Second in driving accuracy in Hawaii
Hirata shot a two-under 68 in the final round of the Sony Open in Hawaii to finish in a tie for 24th place.
ANALYSIS
Hirata scored a top-25 in the first start of his rookie season following posting four rounds in the 60s. The ball striking was strong ranking 13th in SG: Off-the-Tee, 15th in SG: Approach, second in driving accuracy and T2 in GIR's. He was only 52nd in SG: Putting and 70th in putts per GIR, however. Hirata will look to get the flatstick heated up for The American Express.
