How do I enter a team?
To enter your team, all you need to do is sign up for a free account here.
It's quick and easy to join, and you have until the first scheduled tee time at the US Open on Thursday to enter your five players, of which one of them needs to become your captain who will earn you double points!
In total, we'll have 20 events.
We've compiled a helpful guide for you on all the information you need in order to play GolfMagic Fantasy this season.
With that being said, let's get stuck into our GolfMagic Fantasy picks for the Travelers Championship.
Ben's picks:
Pot 1 - Max Homa
He's looking for his third win of the season. Homa did miss the cut at Los Angeles Country Club but had posted two top-10 finishes in his last three events and made 14 of 17 cuts.
Pot 1 - Jon Rahm (C)
Rahm is making his first start at TPC River Highlands in three years. He's leading the FedEx Cup and closed out his US Open with a 65. How can you not back this man?
Pot 2 - Tommy Fleetwood
Almost claimed the RBC Canadian Open and made history at the US Open a week later, becoming the first man to shoot 63 or better in two rounds. The Englishman has been feeling it for a long, long time and even the numbers suggest so. He ranks sixth on the PGA Tour with a scoring average of 69.418. Elsewhere, he's fourth in Putters per Round and seventh in SG: Total.
Pot 3 - Adam Scott
Scott missed the cut at the US Open which represented the first time he missed the weekend in more than a year. But otherwise, he has been in solid form in 2023, with three top-10s in his last five starts.
Pot 4 - Adam Schenk
Okay, so this is a massive outside bet. He has missed 10 cuts but is also getting used to having his name high up on the leaderboard. He finished second at the Valspar Championship and also the Charles Schwab Challenge. He also posted a T-7 at the stacked Memorial.
The rules
Team selection:
You must pick a team of five golfers for each tournament in the PGA Tour season. There are no player values or salary cap for selections, however you must respect the Pots criteria, better explained in the next section. Golfers who are not in the field will not be available for selection. Golfers who withdrawal from a tournament before the start and are still within your team will not be earning any points.
Each week your team will be wiped, so you must pick a fresh team ahead of each tournament. This is to ensure that you have five active golfers in your team each week to maximize your scoring potential.
Deadline:
You have up until the first scheduled tee-time to pick your team or make edits to your team. If you do not submit a team by this time, you will be automatically assigned five players. No team edits are permitted after this deadline.
Players pots:
Your 5 players will be chosen from 4 pots:
Pot 1 will be golfers ranked 1-10 (Official World ranking)
Pot 2 will be golfers ranked 11-25 (Official World ranking)
Pot 3 will be golfers ranked 26-50 (Official World ranking)
Pot 4 for will be all remaining golfers (Official World ranking)
Selection restrictions are as follows:
You can only pick a maximum of 2 players from pot 1
You can only pick a maximum of 3 players from pots 1 and 2 combined
You can only pick a maximum of 4 players from pots 1, 2 and 3 combined
