Fantasy Game for 2012 Majors, The Players and US-Based WGC's: The WGC Bridgestone Thread

by kwinigolfer Wed 28 Mar 2012, 3:33 pm

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to Tournament Seven of the 606v2 Fantasy game for 2012.

Although this is the seventh of eight tournaments, new players are still enthusiastically invited - out of 360+ picks for the first six events, there have only been three winners selected!

Against each competitor's name below there will be found the initials (names for MK's, PH's and JD's) of golfers selected to date and therefore ineligible for future picks. (If a player has been selected twice by a contestant, and I didn't spot it, that event's choice is shown as d/q below - just the one so far, and immaterial to the competition as the golfer in question missed the cut.) There will also be shown money earned to date in $US.

RULES:
There are EIGHT events, FOUR Major Championships (just the PGA remaining), THREE WGC's (only one remaining) and The Players Championship.

For each event choose one golfer; you will not be able to choose that golfer again.
The prize-money your chosen golfer earns in the selected event accrues, notionally of course, in your account, but for that specific event only.
So, by the time of the completion of the PGA Championship in August, you will have selected eight players and, with good judgement, good fortune or both, have accrued eight pay cheques. The fantasy contestant with the highest accrued earnings is the winner.

For each event's new thread, the contestants will be shown, in alphabetical order, with their earnings to date and names of golfers no longer available.

Following the WGC Bridgestone, the remaining event will be:
August 9th - 12th: PGA Championship

The prize fund for The WGC Bridgestone is about $8.5M with the winner pocketing about $1,400,000.

You are advised to nominate a substitute in the event of a last minute withdrawal. Withdrawals, dq's etc during play do not earn "official" money and, as with Toms and Woods at the "Cadillac" mean a zero pay day.

For The Bridgestone, there will be no cut.

The field is not yet finalised, but the following players are all qualified:
Allenby, Baddeley, Bae, Bekker, Bjorn, K.Bradley, Byrd,
Cabrera-Bello, Chalmers, KJ Choi, Colsaerts, Crane,
Day, Donald, Donaldson, Dufner, Dyson, Els,
Fernandez-Castano, Fowler, Fujimoto, Furyk, Garcia, Goosen, Grace,
Bill Haas, Hanson, Hoey, Ishikawa, Jacobson, Jaidee, D.Johnson, Z.Johnson,
Kaymer, KT Kim, Kuchar, Laird, Paul Lawrie, Leishman, Tom Lewis, Luiten,
Mahan, McDowell, McIlroy, Mickelson, F.Molinari, Muto, Na,
Ogilvy, Oosthuizen, Pettersson, Piercy, Potter, Poulter, Quiros, Rock, Rose
Schwartzel, Scott, Senden, Siem, JM Singh, Slattery, Snedeker, Stanley, Stricker,
Taniguchi, Toms, Van Pelt,
Wagner, Watney, B.Watson, Westwood, Wiesberger, Willett, M.Wilson, Woods, Yang

Reminder: NEW PLAYERS are EXTREMELY WELCOME!!!!
