Fantasy Golf Top Picks Wyndham Championship
This week’s fantasy golf top picks look a little different than last week’s.
That’s because with the PGA Championship next week, and the last Major of the 2013 season in the rear-view mirror many top golfers are taking the week off to prepare and rest. What that means for you is that there’s an abundance of diversity in the field, and a greater chance to capitalize on some fantasy golf top picks that may be lesser known among many daily fantasy players. With only five of the top 20 in the FedEx standings teeing off, the weekend will be sure to highlight some rising talent that has yet to take the prime-time by storm.
The Wyndham Championship sports a purse of $5,300,000, with $936,000 and 500 FedEx Cup Points to the winner. The course is located at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, and features 7,130 yards to a par 70. It sports challenging greens, and many fantasy golf top picks that have found previous success at this course have been regarded as putting specialists.
Fantasy Golf Top Picks
Top Play: Webb Simpson $17,800 - Simpson won this event in 2011, finished T-22 in 2012, and T-8 in 2010. He’s played extremely well as of late, and is my favorite option for the weekend.
Top Play: Nick Watney $10,100 - Watney is better than nearly everyone else in the field this week, and I expect him to put his recent struggles behind him.
Top Play: Justin Leonard $16,600 - Leonard has made 17 cuts this season, and he finished T-19, T-17, and T-3 in his last three appearances at Wyndham.
Top Play: Brandt Snedeker $18,600 - Hard to bet against Snedes in a watered-down field.
Top Play: Bill Haas $17,400 - Back-to-back top 25′s with two top 20 finishes at Sedgefield in the past. Haas owns a tour-best nine top 10 finishes this season.
Best of the Rest: Sergio Garcia $17,300, Zach Johnson $22,600, Hideki Matsuyama $17,700, Tim Clark $15,000, Carl Pettersson $11,700.
