-- In the event that no one correctly picks the winner, the prize will go to the highest placing golfer with the tiebreaker remaining total score.
SPONSORS
-- There are no sponsors. I will be providing the prize from my account. All I ask is you make an effort in good faith to share this with the community and I won't be too deep in the red (even if the team chokes).
-- If you would like to help minimize the risk or play for the full cash amount yourself, please signup using this affiliate link so we both benefit ($10 extra for both of us) when you deposit and play with $20. This is not necessary or required though
It would be great to get a huge score and give out a large prize, but I'm looking forward to interacting with and meeting the community even more. I definitely encourage open discussion during the tournament if you're watching. If it's a success, we'll up the ante for the next golf major, The British Open.
Also, it is Father's Day this Sunday. If you are looking for a gift < $20 and your dad is a golfer, this is what I bought mine...
TEAM UPDATE:
Rickie Fowler

P.S. Followed, upvoted, and resteemed.
no need to be knowledgeable. maybe you'll luck into some money come sunday evening!
If there is any interest from people learning how to get into DFS Golf, we can get a group together and talk about some strategies as well. It's much more interesting IMO then traditional fantasy golf.
