There have been numerous instances this year when I’ve been classified as, for lack of a better description, a defendant of FedExCup points as the preferred measurement in a One & Done. In fact, I’m a proponent of either points or earnings as long as you trust your platform and commissioner. But obviously, since PGA TOUR Fantasy One & Done presented by SERVPRO uses only FedExCup points to measure performance, it’s the game at PGATOUR.COM and I’m the fantasy columnist for the website, well, all one needs to do is connect the dots to understand my primary position. However, what may have been overlooked in my full-membership fantasy ranking before the season or simply gone unknown to anyone resisting shifting to FedExCup points is that earnings will no longer be used to determine PGA TOUR status beginning in 2017-18. Of course, prize money will be tracked and distributed despite the elimination of its influence, but the evolution away from it should generate philosophical conversation in your private league about why you’d continue to use it as your measurement. Purists will acknowledge that earnings was used in the first place because it once was the only statistic that determined PGA TOUR status. So, if you continue to use earnings, you’ll be using a measurement that no longer has relevance in reality. All of that may come across as propaganda from a soapbox, but I assure you that it is not, for this is the week when I’d love to be banking earnings instead of FedExCup points. The U.S. Open at Erin Hills boasts a record purse of $12 million. The winner will received $2.16 million (the usual cut of 18 percent). If you’re in an earnings-based league, it likely has a couple of bottom-feeders gone dormant who haven’t even totaled what the 117th champion of the season’s second major will be depositing into his account. Money leagues have three monsters from which to choose. In this order, defending champion Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day present the strongest offense in the context of your objective. They are the most dynamic fits for Erin Hills who are already proven. If none is available to you, you should have planned better for the potential windfall, but given how the first five months of 2017 unraveled for both McIlroy and Day, the odds are pretty good that at least one is at your disposal. If you play PGA TOUR Fantasy One & Done presented by SERVPRO, then you understand that its selection process requires finesse. Since the Playoffs essentially quadruple FedExCup points earned, anchoring your season as I am – McIlroy-Day-DJ, in that order – is a strategy rich in insurance all the while you position yourself to accumulate what you can along the way. This is why I’m pushing Rickie Fowler out there at the U.S. Open. The winner will receive 600 FedExCup points. By comparison, a three-way T3 in a Playoffs event is worth 580 points, which means there’s a margin of error for the big boys in that series. Fowler will resonate as a short-lister again only at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, but with no cut and another deep field at our fingertips in that event, he’s worth the plunge now. I wouldn’t pretend to steer you away from the trio for whom the case is open-and-shut for money leaguers, but have a plan for the Playoffs regardless of your decision. The next tier for PGA TOUR Fantasy One & Done presented by SERVPRO gamers includes, in no particular order this time, Justin Thomas, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel and Adam Scott. You could get away in abstaining from Sergio Garcia, Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Kevin Kisner and Jason Dufner, but I’d still circle Rahm or Dufner if either is available and you’re in a pinch. Jordan Spieth is the really interesting piece on the board. A top 10 is all but a given, but we expect a top five from him with the opportunity to pick off a win. As a scorer on a par 72 with room to spray it a bit off the tee, there’s really nothing not to love about his fit. That’s multiplied since he’s regained form since going back to his old putter. If I didn’t burn him at the Masters (with similar thinking, not to mention his phenomenal record at Augusta National), he’d be my guy at Erin Hills. While the field is sprinkled with value all over the place, two-man gamers should focus on an international non-member as the tail of your tandem. Consider Thomas Pieters, Lee Westwood or Ross Fisher. Shane Lowry is a PGA TOUR member, but go ahead and toss him into the mix. Then again, Steve Stricker is likely available. You’d be the envy of every one-man gamer who won’t have the temerity to pull the trigger or tug on the heartstrings. NOTE: Since it’s possible that Phil Mickelson will withdraw before his tee time in the opening round, the timing has never been better to remind you that if any golfer you’ve rostered in any of the fantasy games WDs before his tee time in an opening round and you don’t replace him, he will remain available to you in either One & Done and you won’t be charged a start in PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO.
