Fantasy Golf Value Top Picks PGA Championship
It’s time to find some major fantasy golf value as the world’s best gear up to tackle a punishing course!
This week finds participants descending upon Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY. The last time the course hosted the PGA Championship was 2003, and the course plays more like a U.S. Open location. This just means there’s a much better chance that the world’s best will rise to the top over four grueling rounds, as each player’s complete skill set will be tested. We will consequently be focusing our picks on proven fantasy golf value. The par 70, 7,163 yard course is the only spot to host the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Open, PGA Championship, Senior U.S. Open, and Ryder Cup. The winner will receive $1,445,000 from a purse of $8,000,000, in addition to 600 FedEx Cup Points from a pool of 4,000.
Fantasy Golf Value Top Picks
Tiger Woods - $15,200 - He’s severely underpriced and this is essentially a major event with the surrounding hype. I would be hard-pressed to leave Tiger off of any fantasy golf value lineups this week.
Hunter Mahan - $12,400 - He was leading the RBC Canadian Open when he withdrew for the birth of his child. He hasn’t played since that departure, but was playing well up until that point. Look for the feel-good story of the weekend to make a move.
Jamie Donaldson - $6,500 - Donaldson is once again the best value pick available, and he finished 7th here last year. He’s placed top-10 in two of his past four starts, and was in the top-20 last week.
Phil Mickelson - $13,200 - As I mentioned above, this week is all about riding the golfers with superior skill sets to victory. Lefty fits the bill, so place your bets on him.
Best of the Rest Fantasy Golf Value: Henrik Stenson $15,700, Matt Kuchar $16,400, Jason Dufner $11,900, Steve Stricker $16,100, Chris Kirk $14,700, Zach Johnson $14,500, Brandt Snedeker $14,200, Bubba Watson $13,800, Keegan Bradley $13,600, Hideki Matsuyama $12,100, Charl Schwartzel $12,300, Dustin Johnson $12,100, Jim Furyk $11,700, Miguel Angel Jimenez $10,800.
