Rob Bolton previews The Genesis Invitational, where star power takes center stage at Torrey Pines’ South Course. With FedExCup bonus points doubled to 700 for the winner, fantasy golfers are wise to stick with chalk. Rory McIlroy leads the Power Rankings and has a fresh season to focus on his own performance.
Scottie Scheffler’s impressive start, despite a hand injury, justifies continued consideration. His margin of victory over Xander Schauffele would rank sixth in the world. Meanwhile, some golfers are underperforming and should be avoided. Thomas Detry, Harris English, Patrick Cantlay, and Sahith Theegala have struggled this season.
Ludvig Åberg, who withdrew from the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am due to illness, returns to competition. He’s a contrarian pick for fantasy golfers willing to take risks. J.J. Spaun and Rickie Fowler are also returning after illnesses but come with significant risk. Chris Kirk missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open and still seeks to overcome his struggles.
