The Mulligan: Fantasy Golf Picks for The Players Championship


Its that time of year again, The Players Championship is upon us. The best week of the year for those of us who love to watch the Pros fall victim to the infamous "bullseye." I feel better about my golf game every year after watching the best players in the world take a drop after plunking in the water. If there is even a mud puddle on a golf course, my ball will find a way to land in it. I don't know about you, but the fact that the Pros also put their Titleists in the drink gives me a boost of much needed confidence on the course. For an entertaining example of the craziness that occurs on the 17th at Sawgrass, click here.


The field this week is loaded, as this is one of the biggest tournaments of the year. There are so many big names and hot players to pick from, but I have some good fantasy golf picks for you this week. If you followed my advice last week, you found yourself with 3 players in the top 10, in Ian Poulter, Tiger Woods, and Phil Mickelson. Lets see if we can have a repeat performance this week.


I am so excited about my sleeper pick this week, that I am starting off with him. Jeff Klauk. I have been watching this guy all year, waiting to put him in my fantasy golf lineup. This is the week to do it. Klauk is one of the hottest rookies on tour this year, and he will feel very comfortable at Sawgrass. His father, Fred Clauk, was the superintendent of TPC at Sawgrass for 23 years before retiring after last years tournament. The Klauk's live about a mile down the road from the course, so you can imagine the following this guy will have. This is Klauk's first time playing in the Players, but don't let that hold you back. Put Jeff Klauk in your fantasy golf lineup so you can tell your buddies you picked the sleeper this week.


Another good pick is Sergio Garcia. He won here last year and finished 2nd in 2007. Despite a somewhat lackluster 2009, I think Sergio should play well this week. There is just something about this course that brings out the best in him.


Henrik Stenson should be in your lineup this week. He has two top-10 finishes at Sawgrass and a lot of casual golf fans underestimate his talent. This is Stenson's week. Put him in your lineup.


Good luck this week and lets keep moving to the top of the fantasy golf rankings!
