25-Year-Old Golfer
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Higgo will be entering his fourth season on Tour, making it easy to forget that he's just 24-years-old. While 2023 was mostly a struggle, four of his six top-25s came since July, showing that he found something in the summer. The South African lives by the 'drive for show, putt for dough' mantra, as those are the two things he does well. He's yet to show much with his iron play, however, losing over .1 strokes per round on approach. Without significant improvement in that area, it's hard to forecast a breakthrough season just yet.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Higgo only needed 22 events this past season to become fully exempt for next year. He missed over 60 percent of his cuts but relied on strong finishes at the Zurich Classic and Memorial Tournament to stay within the top 150. All things considered, the 23-year-old wasn’t playing particularly well to end the season, missing five of his last six cuts. Given his age however, there is still plenty of room to learn and grow. It will be important for Higgo and his confidence to get off to a decent start in the upcoming season.
The 22-year-old South African has played primarily on the European Tour and took advantage of a sponsor exemption to win in his second career PGA Tour start to guarantee himself status through the 2023-24 season. Since winning in June, he's missed 4-of-7 cuts with a best finish of T-41, so his consistency is still a question. Expect him to play full-time on the PGA Tour this season, with some ups-and-downs to his long hitting nature that can yields birdies in bunches but also plenty of bogeys.
