2018 PLAYERS Championship Fantasy Sleeper Report

There are various landmark points in the PGA TOUR season, and with its May time slot THE PLAYERS Championship is one of the season’s early highlights.

He and the rest of the 150-man or so field will be looking to tame Sawgrass, the famous Pete Dye design, that features the renowned island green on the seventeenth. But there is much more to this golf course than a hole that has been copied countless times but never bettered.

Most of the world’s best will tee it up at Ponte Vedra, and a rollcall of winners that features Day, Rickie Fowler, Martin Kaymer, Tiger Woods and Matt Kuchar doesn’t necessarily indicate that a longshot sleeper will get the job done.

But then there’s the case of Si-Woo Kim, the 250/1 jolly who the bookmakers – and many pundits, for that matter – simply did not see winning.

So perhaps we can have confidence that a sleeper could take care of business at THE PLAYERS Championship. Here’s five to follow:
