• PGA Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Viking Classic - Annandale CC - Madison, MS

  The FedEx Cup Playoffs take another week off before we get to the Tour Championship next week; and as everyone knows, it's Ryder Cup week this week. This represents the best team the U.S. has fielded since 1998. Yes, I know Tiger's not there, but Tiger is pretty bad at the Ryder Cup for whatever reason; so I think the team they've brought this year is as solid as they could field. It's got a lot of multiple winners and hot players, while Team Europe has a couple of players who are...

• PGA Weekly Sleepers: Wyndham Championship - Sedgefield Country Club - Greensboro, NC

  This week, the week before the FedEx Cup Playoffs start; we find ourselves at an old-style course with a new-style twist, as Donald Ross has gotten his hands on it, and renovated it before the Greater Greensboro Open Wyndham Championship and the PGA returned there. 7,100 yards (approximately) isn't a very long course; so we can't exclude any of the shorter hitters like we can most weeks. We need the usual suspects though; Accuracy, Greens and Putting, and I think especially Putting. So this...

• PGA Weekly Sleepers: PGA Championship - Oakland Hills Country Club - Bloomfield Township, MI

  I'll admit, I read a few different places before I write this column each week (as I'm sure you're aware), and again PGATour.Com; I checked out their picks and sleepers sections. I don't know why I bother, because it just gets me all riled up. First of all, Sergio Garcia is prominently featured again, this time his 4.5 point Ryder Cup performance at Oakland Hills in 2004 is the main reason. First, the Ryder Cup is match play, not stroke play; so you can't translate one to the...

• PGA Weekly Sleepers: AT&T Classic - Congressional Country Club - Bethesda, MD

  This week the Tour heads to Congressional, which is the site for the 2011 U.S. Open. It's already being prepped for the tournament, so this week will be a stark departure of the low-scoring courses from the last couple of weeks. Congressional checks in at about 7,200 yards, which means even the shorter hitters are eligible for good finishes here. It will take accuracy and great putting in order to score well, so bombers without a complete game are going to be cast aside this week. With the absence...

• PGA Weekly Sleepers: Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial - Colonial Country Club - Ft. Worth, TX

  So I was playing Tiger Woods 2004 on my computer last night (I know, way to update, right?) and it just so happened one of the courses I played was Colonial. Now, as you're well aware, these courses aren't 100% replicated renderings, but they're awfully close; and I realized one thing that I had forgotten yesterday. If it's windy, that course is gone to be nearly impossible. And, in doing my due diligence for this article, I went to Weather.com and my fears were confirmed. It's...

• PGA Tournament Sleepers: AT&T Classic - TPC Sugarloaf - Duluth, GA

  These are the weeks, as I've said many times, that your Fantasy teams are made or broken. The old (and even the new) standbys aren't around to bail you out this week, and you'll have to make your name on the backs of the bottom half of the tour. Picking sleepers out of this group will prove difficult, simply because even the people I've picked to win would normally be sleepers. So with that, that's why they pay me the "big" bucks; to find sleepers in a field full of...

• PGA Tournament Sleepers - Verizon Heritage - Harbour Town Golf Links - Hilton Head Island, SC

  Choosing a sleeper might prove to be a bit difficult this week, because it's not a full field, so a lot of my choices for "starts" would be considered sleepers already. So when reading through this, just consider that I didn't pick these folks to "start" for a reason, so they should be seen as "sleepers". Also, a bit of breaking news here; Tiger Woods is expected to be out for between 4-6 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his knee, the same knee he's...
