Highlights

Jason Day wins THE PLAYERS Championship

How it works: Each week, our experts from PGATOUR.COM will make their selections in PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO. Each lineup consists of four starters and two bench players that can be rotated after each round. Adding to the challenge is that every golfer can be used only three time per each of four Segments. The first fantasy golf game to utilize live ShotLink data, PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO allows you to see scores update live during competition.

Aside from the experts below, Fantasy Insider Rob Bolton breaks down the field at this year's THE PLAYERS Championship in his edition of the Power Rankings.
