There won’t be many big names from the PGA Tour heading to Bay Hill this week for the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but there will be enough options to make it interesting for us fantasy golf junkies. So to help you pick the best fantasy foursome and avoid some early-round pitfalls, here are five sleepers for the 2016 API.

5. Hideki Matsuyama

Matsuyama continues to fly under the radar, but he still has five top-20 finishes on the year, including a win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. He may not excel in one single aspect, but the veteran does everything above average. Matsuyama will be a steal anywhere outside of the top-five fantasy options this week.

After starting the year with three consecutive top-10 finishes, Na has slowed down as of late. He has only one top-20 finish in the last eight events, including two missed cuts. Luckily, he has five top-15 finishes at Bay Hill in his last six appearances, including three top-six finishes. Na will be as safe as they come this week.

3. Brandt Snedeker

Snedeker’s success earlier this season has been somewhat forgotten, but he still posted three top-five finishes, including a win at the Farmers Insurance Open. Snedeker also cracked the top-15 in back-to-back appearances at the API. He will be a veteran first golfer to go after this week at Bay Hill.

2. Paul Casey

Casey has four top-25 finishes on the year, including a solo seventh-place finish at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. He is also 10th on the tour in Greens Hit in Regulation and 24th in Total Driving. He is normally overlooked in standard fantasy formats, but he will be worth a serious look with the lack of talent making the trip to Bay Hill.

Day has been extremely productive this season. He recorded a T10 at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, a T11 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T23 at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. Day may not go within the top-three golfers this week, but he will be a sleeper pick to win it all.
