Last week proved that Doral is designed for the longest of the long-hitters. So much so that some caddies and players are speaking out against the course and it’s lengthy layout. If you didn’t have a top-5 driver of the ball picked, chances are you didn’t do too well last week.

But what makes the Tour great is that each week is a new course and a new start, so though Copperhead isn’t all that much shorter than Doral, it certainly puts the emphasis back on putting as opposed to driving. The field will again be subject to another trio of tough holes known as the “Snake Pit” and this year has brought another deep field featuring some of the top 10 players in the world. Enjoy!

How it works:

• My Guy: If I’m picking in a one-golfer league, and had to just pick one…he’s the guy.
• Stripes: “Man, I was striping it today” as the big guy (TW) likes to say. Call these guys my “favorites” each week.
• Wildcard: All in the name. Enough said.
• Shank: I hate to even say this word, especially on a golf course, so as you can imagine these are guys to avoid.

The Honda Classic was a fantasy owner’s nightmare with so many notable players missing the cut and Padraig Harrington winning his first tournament since 2008.

This week the PGA Tour continues its Florida swing with the WGC Cadillac Championship at the famed Trump National Doral. At a whopping 7,528 yards, Doral will be one of the toughest challenges the pros face all year. The best players in the world will be in Miami for what should be a very exciting World Golf Championship event.

The Northern Trust Open turned out to be very interesting as James Hahn surprised the world of golf by proving that he can do more than just crush the “Gangnam Style” dance. Hahn took down Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey in a very exciting playoff match with two huge birdie putts. Congratulations to Hahn on his first PGA Tour win, but now we move on to this week’s Honda Classic at PGA National.

This tournament boasts a star-studded field (including Rory as he makes his 2015 debut) at the spectacular PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The course should provide plenty of excitement with the infamous Bear Trap (Holes 15, 16 and 17) promising to make things interesting as the leaders try to close out their rounds on Sunday afternoon.

Ok, so we had an off week last week, it happens. Brandt was My Guy the week before…I just picked him a week early that’s all. Anyway, “My Guy” did fare the best of the group with a Top-25 finish, so I’ll hang my hat on that for now.

But moving on – a great field this week heading to Riviera, and maybe the deepest to date this season.  There are a handful of guys that just had to make the list this week, so I’ve added an extra stripe and wildcard, but if you field any combination of the group below you’ll be in great shape.Long-hitters are a common theme this week, and for good reason. I’d suggest sticking to someone long, and not trying to be sneaky with anyone who relies heavily on the short game.​

2015 has been a great year for golf. A lot of big names and young talent have been filling the giant void Tiger has created over the past few years, and every week is anyone’s tournament. On top of that… three out of the five winners in 2015 have started the week on this post. But I digress…

Another gorgeous stop on the West Coast swing is on tap this weekend. Great tournament to watch – mainly because Bill Murray is in the field. I’d pick him if I could, but I’ll stick to the guys who are playing for the cash. Enjoy!

Wildcard:
