PLAYERS Championship: Fantasy golf tips for TPC Sawgrass
If this pick seems almost too easy, there’s a good reason for that – it is. Jason Day has been on fire recently, and outside of perhaps Rory McIlroy, there’s not a player in this field I want in my lineup more than the Aussie star. Here’s why that premium salary is justified.
You want to pick a player with solid course history, right? Day checks that box, for sure. I know, you might be concerned about the missed cuts in 2012 and 2015, but don’t be. When Day is on his game, and he certainly seems to be now, he knows how to handle the unique challenges of TPC Sawgrass. Plus, there’s hardly a player in this field who hasn’t fallen victim to the PGA TOUR’s home course once or twice in their career.
Day hasn’t missed a cut in any of his nine starts so far this year, and he’s coming off an emotional victory at Quail Hollow that saw him lead the field in strokes gained around the green, and rank second in strokes gained putting. If he repeats that type of performance this week at THE PLAYERS, you’ll see something much more like his week here in 2016.
That’s the week when he won THE PLAYERS, and cemented his place as the best golfer in the world. And that’s why you definitely want him leading your Fantasy lineup this week. the price is worth every single penny.
