He qualified for the 2015 U.S. Open where he shot 74-80 to miss the cut.
At the 2016 Ellie Mae Classic, Jäger shot a 58 in the first round and followed it up with rounds of 65-64-63 to claim his first Web.com Tour victory. He set the 72-hole aggregate record with his 250 and tied the to-par record, at 30 under par, and won by 7 strokes over Rhein Gibson. He also set the 36-hole and 54-hole records. Despite the win, Jäger finished 28th on the regular season money list, three spots short of a guaranteed PGA Tour card.
