DraftKings fantasy golf picks: The Barclays 2016

Well, as this is the start of the FedEx Cup playoffs, the fact that the FedEx Cup playoffs have started is a notable storyline this week. The victor of the Barclays gets 1,530 points, meaning that Charley Hoffman at No. 22 is the lowest player in the standings with a mathematical chance at qualifying.

It was good timing, too, because the playoffs begin Thursday with The Barclays at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., so Stefani has a spot. Rory Sabbatini and Jeff Overton also are not in the top 125 for the first time since the playoffs’ 2007 debut. The points in the playoffs are created to reward those who FedEx Playoffs winners and set up a scenario where the top 5 going into the least event are guaranteed to win the FedEx Cup with a win at the TOUR Championship. He has moved to 15th on the FedEx Cup points list and should be assured a place in the Tour Championship. Last year, five players moved into the playoffs at the Wyndham, including champion Davis Love III. There is a 36-hole cut that includes the top 70 and ties after two rounds. The current player at No. 125 is Seung-Yul Noh and the guy at No. 100 is Jonas Blixt.

My picks each week are divided into separate slides for each price bracket to help you find the price point that you are looking for to get the stars, sleepers, and midrange plays that you’ll need to fill in your lineups this week.

Tour members earn points based on their results in all events they feature in, with an emphasis on those finishing higher up the leaderboard.

This event rotates among a few courses in the New York/New Jersey area.

As for this week’s Barclays at Bethpage Black, Day is a 7-to-1 favorite. You see, Day didn’t win the rest of the year and despite a solid showing in the majors his career total remains at one.

Day is the defending champion of this tournament.

The 21-year-old South Korean closed with a 3-under-par 67 to finish at 21-under 259 at Sedgefield Country Club, tying the tournament 72-hole record set eight years ago by Carl Pettersson.

That’s how long it took Stefani to play in 22 tournaments and scratch his way back inside the playoff cutoff. Day last competed at the PGA Championship and was a runner-up. Kim also birdied the last hole. He then missed the Tour Championship plus the Presidents Cup. At No.4 Russell Knox, and at No.5 Jordan Spieth. Reigning British Open champ and Olympic silver medalist Henrik Stenson checks in third (7/1).
