Fantasy Golf Picks & Predictions – 2016 Portugal Masters

European Tour Fantasy Golf Picks and Predictions for the 2016 Portugal Masters

The 2016 Portugal Masters Fantasy Preview

The European Tour season is nearing its end and now the players will get the opportunity to head to one of the newer events on the schedule; the Portugal Masters.  The tournament was first established in 2007 and has been played near the southern coast of Portugal at the Victoria Clube de Golfe in Vilamoura.  It is a beautiful Arnold Palmer designed layout which features 7,209 yards of par-72 golf that can be ripe for the picking if you can stay out of the numerous hazards.

Despite its first appearance coming in 2007, the Portugal Masters has had no shortage of quality names topping the leaderboard. Last season it was Andy Sullivan who dominated the field by nine strokes, showing no mercy for his fellow countryman, Chris Wood, who came in as the runner-up while playing alongside Sullivan.  It was his third victory on the European Tour and his score of 23-under matched Lee Westwood (2009) and was two shots short of Steve Webster’s 25-under in the event’s first outing back in 2007.  A win here for Sullivan would be the first back-to-back victory in the tournament’s history as each of the previous nine victors failed to return with a win the following year.

There could definitely be another top name coming out as the winner this week with plenty of talent making their way to Portugal.  Leading the charge is one of the hottest golfers going right now in Alexander Noren.  He has won three times since mid-July; including twice in his last four outings, and is a combined 52 shots under par in his last four tournaments.  Thomas Pieters will also be one of the top dogs as he is joined by Alexander Levy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Andy Sullivan as golfers with better than 20/1 Vegas odds.

With the European Tour being among our newest of choices in the daily fantasy sports landscape, the opportunity for us to learn about some of the best golfers overseas is right now.  There’s still not much coverage of the players and events so this is also a chance to take advantage of those who may not be as interested in digging deeper into the player field.  That said, let’s uncover are some fantasy roster options at different price ranges who could give you an edge over your competitors this week.
