Fantasy Golf Rankings For 2014 Quicken Loans National
Tiger Woods will finally be returning to the golf course this week, and as a result, he will be a very popular fantasy option in Bethesda. To help you pick your fantasy foursome this week, here are the top-20 fantasy golfers for the 2014 Quicken Loans National.
20. Freddie Jacobson
20. Freddie Jacobson
Jacobson has eight top-25 finishes on the year and will be worth a late-round flyer with the smaller field this week.
19. Morgan Hoffman
19. Morgan Hoffman
Hoffman posted a T8 at Congressional last year. He is in the middle of a strong season (five top-25s) and will look to build off his previous success in Bethesda.
18. Gary Woodland
18. Gary Woodland
Before his string finishes outside the top-50, Woodland cracked the top-26 in seven straight tournaments. Don’t let him fall too far this week, because he will once again be worth grabbing as a sleeper.
17. Erik Compton
17. Erik Compton
Compton has quietly racked up four top-15 finishes in his last nine tournaments alone.
16. Ryan Palmer
16. Ryan Palmer
Palmer may be a somewhat hit-or-miss fantasy option, but he still has five top-10 finishes on the year. He will be worth a look as a second golfer this week.
15. Brendan Steele
15. Brendan Steele
Steele posted a T16 last year at Congressional and the California native is coming off a season-best T5 at the Travelers.
14. Hunter Mahan
14. Hunter Mahan
Mahan may have missed the cut at Congressional last year, but he finished eighth in this event the year before that. The veteran may surprise people this week in Bethesda.
13. Jason Dufner
13. Jason Dufner
Dufner hasn’t competed at Congressional since missing the cut at the 2011 U.S. Open. However, he does has seven top-20 finishes in 14 appearances this year. The Duff-man will be a pretty safe bet to crack the top-15 this week in Maryland.
12. Carl Pettersson
12. Carl Pettersson
Pettersson has two top-seven finishes in the last two tournaments and will certainly be worth grabbing inside the top-15 this week.
11. Tiger Woods
11. Tiger Woods
Woods has dominated Congressional throughout his career, but he will be somewhat risky since this is his first tournament in over three months. Don't rank Woods in the top-10 fantasy golfers just yet.

Leishman has four top-25 finishes in his last five tournaments, including a third place finish at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
