Fantasy Golf: Arnold Palmer Invitational

The Arnold Palmer Invitational used to be dominated by a certain Tiger Woods (remember him?), but he's not around to bother the leaderboard this week. Instead we seem to have a wide open field of golfers gearing up for The Masters in April. But who will come good for us this weekend in Florida from the all important Fantasy perspective?

Last weekends picks started off brilliantly but unfortunately faded over the final two days. Hopefully this weeks players can muster a challenge over all four days of action. Henrik Stenson seems like a lock on most teams this week. It would be foolish to leave him out I feel. As usual, Yahoo Fantasy Golf divides picks into three groups, whereas Official PGA Fantasy Golf simply lets you pick any four golfers (to a maximum of 10 times over the season I must add).

Group A
Henrik Stenson
Rory McIlroy
Harris English
J.B. Holmes
Webb Simpson
Adam Scott

Group B
Rickie Fowler
Jason Day
Vijay Singh
Ian Poulter
Paul Casey

Group C
Kevin Na
Sean O'Hair
Shawn Stefani
Sam Saunders
David Lingmerth

Fantasy Golf: Arnold Palmer Invitational

It's the last stop on the Florida swing of the tour this week and the big news is Tiger Woods' withdrawal because of his back problems. He probably will be saving himself for the Masters from here on in. Tigers record in this tournament is great, and without him we will have to find some other big names in the field to get us those crucial fantasy points.
Bubba Watson, Graeme McDowell and Justin Rose lead the betting and should be in most Fantasy teams this weekend. Here we have a look at how I rank my picks. Remember, In Yahoo Fantasy Golf, your 8 picks are split into three groups. In PGA Fantasy you can pick any 4 golfers you fancy.

Group A
Bubba Watson
Ryan Moore
Gary Woodland
Charles Howell III
Adam Scott

Group B
Brian Harman
Justin Rose
Chris Kirk
Billy Horschel
Matt Every
Fredrick Jacobson
Hunter Mahan
Jason Kokrak

Group C
Graeme McDowell
Chris Stroud
Pat Perez
Ryo Ishikawa
Nicolas Colsaerts
Seung-yul Noh
