With that being said, let's get stuck into our GolfMagic Fantasy picks for the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Ben's picks:
Pot 1 - Jon Rahm (C)
Do we really to say more about why Jon Rahm? Can we really say anything that hasn't already been said? Surely this tournament is between himself and Scottie Scheffler?
Pot 2 - Keegan Bradley
Bradley has had a great year and deserves to be in the Ryder Cup discussion. He has two wins, a runner-up and a T-5 this season.
Pot 2 - Tyrrell Hatton
Take a look at Hatton's performances over the last few months and it demonstrates he's playing well. I hate to use the term, but he's trending. Before the Open, he posted a T-6 at the Scottish Open, T-3 at the Canadian Open and a T-12 at the Memorial. He's not afraid of the big occasions either.
Pot 3 - Rickie Fowler
Fowler will be hoping 2023 is the year he finally turned things around and is not just a flash in the pan. His putting has been supreme all year. He's ninth in the standings having posted five top-15 finishes in his past seven starts.
Pot 4 - Lee Hodges
Will be feeling super confident given his recent win at the 3M Open. He represents good value in this pot, in my opinion. There are also some interesting players to choose in this category, mind. You might be liking the look of Sam Ryder, Adam Hadwin, Aaron Rai, Eric Cole, Adam Svennsson or even Lucas Glover as outside bets.

The rules
Team selection:
You must pick a team of five golfers for each tournament in the PGA Tour season.

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.
