The Sleeper Report: Fantasy Golf Sleepers, Long Shots, and Undervalued Picks for the 2015 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill

Event Preview

The final stop of the “Florida Swing” will be Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week as each of the top-five golfers in the Official World Golf Rankings tee it up at the favorite course of “The King.”  Last week’s winner, Jordan Spieth, will not will not be making his way onto the course after a tremendous finish at the Valspar Championship, but nine different players in the field will be looking to become the first multiple time winner on the tour this season.  They will be joined by another ten players from the top-30 in the OWGR as they attempt to grab the trophy at an event that has been held since 1979 and is hosted by one of the legends of the game.

The par-72, 7,381-yard course has been primarily dominated by one man, Tiger Woods, as he has won here eight times in the past, including four times in the past seven seasons.  He will not be attending the tourney this week and instead will have to watch Rory McIlroy, who is playing here for the first time, attempt to make his own mark on the historic course as the current No. 1 golfer in the world.  No player, other than Tiger, has won the event more than twice and the latest multiple winner was Ernie Els who came away the victor in both 1998 and 2010.

13-under has been the score to beat in each of the past three installments of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and while two of them were won by Tiger, the other was won by a virtual unknown golfer (at the time) in Matt Every in 2014.  It was his first and only career win to date as he surpassed the likes of Adam Scott, Keegan Bradley, and Jason Kokrak on Sunday to earn the victory.

With a new name topping the leaderboard each week, let’s pick through the strong field heading to Orlando to find a few sleeper players who could help boost your fantasy roster despite not being strong favorites.  Use these sleeper picks to help round out your DraftStreet and other salary cap fantasy leagues.
