AimPoint PGA Tour Picks

Fantasy Golf Picks

I’m giving myself points for picking winners.  Hopefully my picks can help you win your fantasy golf league this season.  My goal is to get to 111 points for the season, or the equivlant of picking a Top 3 finisher or better each week.

Winner = 10 points

2nd Place = 5 points

3rd Place = 3 points

Top 10 = 1 point

2009 Fantasy Golf Picks Total:  16 Points

2009 Fantasy Golf Preview Weekly Average:  1.78 Points

Last week: 

Donald’s withdrawal hurt.  I ended up switching in Ben Crane in my Yahoo! league but didn’t make the change to my blog.  My haste comes back to haunt me as Crane finished T3.  Not sure what happened to Villegas.  Leonard was not impressive either.  Basically, after getting a 2nd and Win in my first two weeks I’ve gone cold.  I’m hoping to ride on Tiger’s tail this weekend.

This week:

Tiger returns, again, this time in a stroke play event.  After bouncing around venues since it’s inaugural event in 1999, the WGC-CA Championship may have found a home at Doral, where they have played since 2007.  Officials of this event were pondering renaming the tournament to WGC-Tiger Always Wins Championship but the name was already reserved by Torrey Pines.  But seriously, Tiger has won this event six out of nine years, that’s 67%! 

The field is loaded and it will be a great weekend for watching golf. 

1. Tiger Woods

Speaking of Tiger, how can you not pick him this week?  I know he’s rusty, I know he has a revamped swing and I also know he was eliminated by Tim Clark in round 2 of the last WGC event.  You just can’t argue with his history in this event and at Doral (won the Ford Championship at Doral in 2005 and 2006).  Is there anyway Tiger doesn’t finish in the Top 10 this week?  Well…only me picking him right?  Here’s to hoping we see an Ogilvy (defending champ)/Woods final Sunday pairing. 

2. Jim Furyk

Jimmy has only played three events thus far in 2009 so it’s hard to say exactly where his game is these days but was solid in Match Play.  Furyk has two Top 10s here in the last three years including a T2 finish last season.  He also finished T8 at the 2005 Ford Champinship at Doral so I’m hoping for some low scores from Mr. Furyk this weekend.

3. Adam Scott

Like Furyk, Scott has two Top 10s here in the last three years with a T2 in 2006, though on a different course.  Adam already has a T2 finish this season in just three total events (T2 at the Sony Open) and should be rested after an early exit in Match Play.  I don’t expect a win from Scott but would not be suprised to see him at the top of the Leaderboard late into the weekend.  Fairways and greens Adam, fairways and greens.
