This fella needs to be in your lineup this week.

The rest? Keep reading!

PGA Tour Fantasy Golf Game

Each week, I’ll trot out guys who I believe who fit the course, the game and the road map, plus add some substitutes. Four starters are supported by two bench players each week. Remember, once a player tees off in your lineup he burns a start, so make sure you need to sub out instead of want to sub out.

You’ll learn a few things about me each week in this column.

Games, like this one, that involve daily substitution options, I am terrible at playing.

I’ll give you my best four starters and two bench options but it’s up to you to outguess me on which rounds they should sit or play.

 

Last Week — WGC-Mexico Championship

 

 Tournament Points: 1,310

• Tournament Rank: 4,815
• Season Points: 14,496
• Season Rank: 32nd

 

Stenson in the starting lineup helped nothing but he was removed for the final three rounds.

With DJ already burned, I needed big weeks from McIlroy and Fowler and they both hit the “perfect lineup” of the six highest scoring players for the wek.

Kuchar and Woodland provided decent support to jump me up two places to 32nd.

Onward and upward!

 

This Week

Valspar’s difficult track has my focus on the ball-strikers again this week. With just three events left in the segment, it’s important not to leave any chalk on the sidelines with starts not used.

Another angle this week will focus on course horses as that benefit will be back in play after a week on a new course.

I’ve stressed this before but chalk is the way to go in this game and I’m not changing my mind now. I’ll let those trailing try and catch the lightning in the bottle!
