If, like me, you are obsessed with fantasy sports – you need to get involved with The Masters edition. The free-to-enter competition allows you to pit yourselves against your friends, or the wider golf-o-sphere, and all you have to do is pick four golfers through the app.
Sounds easy, right? Well, in this article, Golf Monthly’s Barry Plummer outlines his strategy for creating the perfect Masters fantasy line-up and even helps you tackle the tricky tie-breaker question…
The Masters Fantasy: How To Build Your Line-Up
To build your line-up, you need to pick one golfer from each of four categories. The first is former champions, and in my opinion is the easiest one to get right. There are only 17 players available in this section, with many of them here in what I would call a ‘ceremonial’ capacity – as in they aren’t going to win!
Realistically, there are only a handful that can get it done in this category, and I can’t look past the best player on the planet right now… Scottie Scheffler. The World No.1 is actually too short a price to bet on, in my opinion, so using him in this type of fantasy contest is a great way to still be involved when he inevitably contends.
This is where strategy comes into it, however, as you can actually take Scottie in three out of four sections, but using him here frees you up for other options later in the process.

The next section requires you to select a player from the United States. This is a much harder prospect, as there are plenty of top players to choose from. You should really only be considering players you think can win the event, as you have just four golfers to represent your team. With that in mind, I am going for LIV Golfer and Major juggernaut, Brooks Koepka.
He could have won last year, and in 2019, and I believe it’s only a matter of time before he takes a Green Jacket. You can actually go back to another American later, if you like someone else in this list, so don’t worry too much if you are between two players.

The next category to choose from is the international players. Another broad zone, this again affords you plenty of opportunities.
The app provides you with a confidence rating for each player, with names like Cam Smith and Jon Rahm unsurprisingly ranking…
