2024 Fantasy Outlook
Shelton appeared to have something going early on his 2022-23 campaign, posting seven top-25s across his first 12 events. He seemed to lose his game thereafter with 15 missed cuts over his final 22 events. On the plus side, he did sprinkle in a T-4 result against a solid field late in the season at the ZOZO Championship. Shelton's largely held back by not being long or that straight off-the-tee, and he lacks an elite skill to make up for it. It wouldn't be a suprise to see him relegated back to the Korn Ferry Tour for a second time in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Shelton paced the entire Korn Ferry Tour in putting average throughout the 2022 season, adding wins at the BMW Charity Pro-Am and the Pinnacle Bank Championship along the way to finish No. 2 in the KFT Regular Season Eligibility Points List. The 27-year-old University of Alabama product enjoyed prior success at the PGA Tour level in 2019-20 when he recorded three top-10s and five top-25s en route to qualifying for the BMW Championship with a top-70 FedExCup standing, though he missed the cut in 21 of 32 starts the following season and was consequently relegated to back to the KFT. The aforementioned hot putter led Shelton to a ranking of fourth in birdie average on the KFT in 2022, though he finished 74th or worse in both driving distnce and GIR percentage.
Shelton barely made half his cuts, 13 of 24, yet had some key results that vaulted him into a second playoff event. He tied for third in the 3M Open late in the season, then for 13th at the Northern Trust. He's only 25, so there can be some upside.
The 23-year-old University of Alabama product was scorching hot from April to May as he tallied wins at the Korn Ferry Tour's Nashville Golf Open and Knoxville Open en route to a quartet of top-4 finishes in a span of five starts. This blistering stretch ultimately led to runner-up honors on the KFT's Regular Season Points List, despite Shelton being restrained by seven total missed cuts and a WD. The 2019-20 campaign will mark Shelton's first season as a full-status cardholder on the PGA Tour, but he won't be eligible for the Rookie of the Year award after playing in eight events during the 2016-17 season when he made five cuts and posted a T16 at the 2017 Valero Texas Open.
