Fantasy Golf: The Hero World Challenge Preview

We've got a limited field event this week which seems like a good time to dip my toe back in the water because I frankly don't have much to say. I haven't done much since we last interacted about three months ago other than work, watch Better Call Saul and almost get my ass kicked on Bourbon Street after which my son's college friends seemed hell bent on living-out the "hey I know, let's hide behind the chainsaws!" scene by escaping down a dark side street. Fortunately, I was able to convince them that the two police officers on horseback presented a more secure environment. 

But really that's about it. The wave of excitement I felt when my new socks arrived yesterday is clearly a sign that I need to get back out there. In the world. With people. Eh. Maybe next week.     

TWEET OF THE WEEK

A bit of a Masters preview if you will.

CURSORY GOLF ANALYSIS 

Defending champion Henrik Stenson has the ironic dual distinction of being both the only former winner (on this course) and the worst player in the field. We're going to pass on him but we have carefully selected for you six golfers who we can say with the utmost confidence will finish in the top 20. 

This is a grainy picture of one hole
on the course they'll be playing.

One and Done Pick: Viktor Hovland

Other Guy I'd Pick: Scottie Scheffler 

Sleeper Pick: Justin Rose

DraftKings Top Six Values

Justin Thomas	$10,200
Viktor Hovland	$9,900
Xander Schauffele	$8,700
Scottie Scheffler	$7,800
Daniel Berger	$7,200
Justin Rose	$6,100

Obviously the people who set the DraftKings prices don't place as much value in the historical performance chart as I do because just look at Justin Rose's recent success. It's impossible to ignore. Look at it!!! 

Anyway, the rest of the chart is kind of useless because 9 of the 20 players are just a string of DNP's and none of the pre-Stenson winners are even playing. Maybe Tony Finau's runner-up finish in 2018 will entice you. If you're into that kind of thing.
