After completing the four tournaments in Texas on this year’s PGA Tour schedule, the Pros head to Jack’s place for this week’s Memorial Tournament. As usual, this event has drawn a great field to Dublin, Ohio, where Jack Nicklaus serves as host to this annual event at Muirfield Village. To get your team set up, check out my fantasy golf picks on the following slides.

Both Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler are scheduled to play this week as 15 of the top 25 in the World Golf Rankings are expected to tee it up.  Last year, Hideki Matsuyama edged Kevin Na in a playoff in one of the most exciting finishes in the past several years at this event.  This tournament is usually considered one of the most important non-Majors, and is a prestigious win for whoever takes home the title.

As far as sleepers go, it’s important to realize that this is an “invitational” which means that 120 players will start the event on Thursday as opposed to the 156 in regular PGA events.

As far as the course is concerned, Muirfield Village Golf Club is a 7,392 yards, par 72 course that has hosted a PGA Tour event dating back to 1976.  Muirfield Village is one of the best known courses in the country, and every year Jack Nicklaus and his team add a few new tweaks to keep it in top shape.  It doesn’t reward a particular kind of golfer although the best in the world tend to excel on this properly-balanced layout.

To see who I expect to do well this week, check out my picks on the next few slides. Each week you can find my DraftKings fantasy golf picks right here on Fansided. To break down the players I’m picking, I divide the options into five-figure studs with salaries over 10,000, stars in the 8,000 to 10,000 range, solid performers between 6,500 and 8,000, and finally some sleeper options who are 6,500 or less but still have a shot to produce points.

On the final slide of this post you can find my personal DraftKings Fantasy Golf Picks lineups. Feel free to add in your own favorites and blend my picks together on your way to what I hope will be a successful tournament. If things change before tee time, I’ll update my lineup on our FansidedFantasy Twitter feed as I had to do last week after Jason Day and Ian Poulter withdrew on Wednesday.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
