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.

Aside from the experts below, Fantasy Insider Rob Bolton breaks down the field at this year's The American Express in this week's edition of the Power Rankings. For more fantasy, check out Qualifiers and Reshuffle.

ROB BOLTON Fantasy Insider	Patrick Cantlay Jon Rahm Scottie Scheffler Will Zalatoris Sam Burns Sungjae Im	Jon Rahm	Although I’ve come all the way back to the field in just one week – no matter how much I try to flush the Sony, it stings – I might adjust this roster to avoid the Stadium Course. So, this is fluid until tee times are released.

MIKE GLASSCOTT Fantasy Contributor	Patrick Cantlay Jon Rahm Scottie Scheffler Will Zalatoris Tony Finau Taylor Montgomery	Jon Rahm	Knocked the rust off in Maui with 28 birdies and two eagles against only five bogeys. That recipe will work again this week as the 2018 champ will pummel the Coachella Valley again with his elite tee-to-green game. I'll be happy to be out of starts after Torrey Pines!
