Fantasy Insider: THE PLAYERS Championship

Last week was all about the chalk. This week, it’s about the eraser. THE PLAYERS Championship arguably is the most equitable of all tournaments. Survival trumps solution. Repeated success cannot be ruled out as coincidence. No matter your flavor to attempt to describe the PGA TOUR’s home game, there’s never a fluke performance at TPC Sawgrass. This reality should generate pause when solidifying your six in PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO. If you invest only in household names, it’s a recipe for regret. Furthermore, with nine more tournaments in Segment 3 to follow, including the U.S. Open (the only at which ShotLink will not be utilized), you’re going to want those household names lining up where course history matters. The fortunate beauty of THE PLAYERS is that there’s no shortage of value inside the ropes. As one of the deepest fields anywhere, you could craft five or six lineups and contend. Focus on getting four to the weekend and accept everything else as a bonus. PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO My roster for THE PLAYERS Championship (in alphabetical order): Jason Day Zach Johnson Francesco Molinari Webb Simpson Kyle Stanley Henrik Stenson You’ll find my starters in Expert Picks. Others to consider for each category (in alphabetical order): Scoring: Bryson DeChambeau; Dustin Johnson; Marc Leishman; Rory McIlroy; Phil Mickelson; Jon Rahm; Justin Rose; Justin Thomas Driving: Kevin Chappell; Bryson DeChambeau; Tommy Fleetwood; Rickie Fowler; Sergio Garcia; Emiliano Grillo; Alex Noren Approach: Emiliano Grillo; Chesson Hadley; Matt Kuchar; Rory McIlroy; Ian Poulter; Justin Rose; Jordan Spieth Short: Branden Grace; Chesson Hadley; Brian Harman; Kevin Kisner; Rory McIlroy; Phil Mickelson; Alex Noren; Jon Rahm; Justin Rose Notable WDs Graham DeLaet … Remains on the mend from stem-cell treatment on his back in January. Hasn’t competed since October, but has intimated that he might be ready to return soon. He won’t push it, of course, and he’d qualify for a Major Medical Extension for next season if he needs it. Every week he sits out, he rises a notch in value for full-season salary gamers in 2018-19. Luke Donald … It would be dramatic to state that he’s still stinging from his missed cut at the RBC Heritage, but that surprising result is his most recent. Prior to that tournament, the Englishman cited physical discomfort for his decision not to play the Houston Open, but he didn’t get specific. Currently 195th in the FedExCup standings. Camilo Villegas … Withdrew after his last three commitments due to ongoing pain in his right shoulder. The 36-year-old Colombian is 173rd in the FedExCup standings. Jim Herman … Continues to recover from surgery on both feet on March 6. Hasn’t competed since the Genesis Open, so he’d need to sit out until late June to qualify for a Major Medical Extension for 2018-19. At 222nd in the FedExCup standings, there’s little urgency to rush back. Morgan Hoffmann … Hasn’t competed since finishing T49 at The Honda Classic. Since, he’s launched the MH Foundation, which was inspired by his fight with Muscular Dystrophy. Brandon Hagy … Tendonitis in his left wrist has sidelined him for five months now. He’s been sharing progress of his recovery on Twitter recently, so perhaps a return is imminent. Seung-Yul Noh … Currently fulfilling his military conscription in his native South Korea. Won’t regain fantasy relevance until the 2019-2020 season.

The First Look: FedEx St. Jude ClassicThe First Look: FedEx St. Jude Classic

Daniel Berger takes a run at becoming the first man since 2011 to three-peat a PGA TOUR event, joining reigning U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka and predecessor Dustin Johnson in the final stop before Shinnecock Hills. This year will be the final pre-Open setting for the longtime Memphis stop, which gets an upgrade to World Golf Championships status in 2019 and will move into the late summer slot following the Open Championship. FIELD NOTES: Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson also will take a running start into Open week, giving the lineup four of the top 20 players in the world rankings. Stenson visits Memphis for the first time since 2012. … In all, 13 St. Jude entrants will use Memphis as a tuneup for Shinnecock Hills. That number could rise after Monday’s final Open qualifying. … Ole Miss junior Braden Thornberry, fourth last year after capturing the NCAA individual title, returns on another sponsor exemption. … Two other former college standouts join the lineup: Grant Hirschman (Oklahoma) and Dawson Armstrong (Lipscomb). … John Daly, now primarily on the PGA TOUR Champions, joins the Memphis lineup for the first time since 2014. … Memphis native Casey Wittenberg tees it up on the PGA TOUR for the first time since 2016 at Torrey Pines. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 points. STORYLINES: Berger, whose only two professional wins have come at TPC Southwind, sets out to become just the sixth man in the past four decades to win three straight at the same venue. Steve Stricker was the last to pull it off, winning three John Deere Classics from 2009-11. … Mickelson, never lower than 11th in any of the past five editions, returns to sharpen his game ahead of the only major he hasn’t won. The Hall of Famer has six top-6 finishes this season, including a win at the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship. … Koepka arrives off a runner-up finish at the Fort Worth Invitational, just his third start since a 16-week layoff to let a wrist injury heal. …Just five St. Jude champions have come from outside the United States, with Nick Price winning twice in 1993 and ’98. The others: Gary Player (1974), Greg Norman (1997), Lee Westwood (2010) and Fabian Gomez (2015). … A U.S. Open berth remains available for anyone who moves into the top 60 of the world rankings after the St. Jude’s conclusion. Seeking a last-gasp rise: No.63 Patton Kizzire and No.65 Adam Scott. COURSE: TPC Southwind, 7,244 yards, par 70. Hosting its 30th edition of the St. Jude Classic, the former dairy farm takes a step up next year as a World Golf Championships venue. Architect Ron Prichard teamed with former U.S. Open champions Hubert Green and Fuzzy Zoeller on a layout that winds through natural lakes, streams and ponds southeast of Memphis. Loren Roberts was brought in for a 2004 upgrade that removed dozens of trees on the property and replaced Southwind’s bentgrass greens with more heat-tolerant Bermuda strain. Southwind’s par-3 11th hole draws comparisons with the famed 17th at TPC Sawgrass, requiring a short iron over water to a small island green. 72-HOLE RECORD: 258, John Cook (1996). 18-HOLE RECORD: 59, Al Geiberger (2nd round, 1977 at Colonial CC). TPC Southwind record: 61, Jay Delsing (4th round, 1993), Bob Estes (1st round, 2001). LAST YEAR: Berger picked up his second PGA TOUR title at the same place he claimed his first, emerging from a logjam at the top with a bogey-free 66 on the final day. A 17-foot birdie at No.15 pushed Berger to the front for good, finishing at 10-under-par 270 and one stroke clear of Charl Schwartzel and Whee Kim. Thornberry was among five players who finished two shots off the pace, becoming the first amateur to record a top-10 finish at Memphis since 1965. At one point, nine players shared the final-round lead at 8-under before Berger finally rose above the crowd. The Florida native became the St. Jude Classic’s fourth back-to-back winner and first since David Toms in 2003-04. HOW TO FOLLOW TELEVISION: Thursday-Friday, 4-7 p.m. ET (Golf Channel).
