How it works: Each week, our experts from PGATOUR.COM will make their selections in PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf. 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 times per each of four Segments. The first fantasy golf game to utilize live ShotLink data, PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf 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 Sony Open in Hawaii in his edition of the Power Rankings. For more fantasy, check out Rookie Watch, Qualifiers and Reshuffle.

ROB BOLTON Fantasy Insider	Daniel Berger Sungjae Im Collin Morikawa Webb Simpson Joaquin Niemann Ryan Palmer	Although shootouts are nerve-wracking, setting this lineup wasn’t hard. All six are warm after opening 2021 at Kapalua. The bump is real.

MIKE GLASSCOTT Fantasy Contributor	Sungjae Im Kevin Kisner Collin Morikawa Webb Simpson Daniel Berger Harris English	Loves a manageable 7,000 and Bermudagrass and both those boxes are checked this week. Went close in similar conditions at RSM before falling in a playoff. 30-somethings have had a solid 10-year run here.
