Fantasy leagues and competitions are becoming ever popular in the world of sports as ways fans can consume their favorite games grow and evolve. Fantasy Golf is increasingly on the rise and particularly attracts many participants hoping to top the tables when it comes to carefully picking their teams during the four Major tournaments. If you think you know which star is going to peak just at the right time or have been following a lesser-known player that is on a hot streak of form and is destined to shoot low, then maybe Fantasy Golf is the game for you.
Many of these competitions see participants choose players from a range of categories to construct a team, which is exactly how VPAR Fantasy (powered by Hunch) works. Managers get to choose one player from each of the following categories: Hot Favorites, Strong Contenders, American Challengers, European Challengers, Rest of The World Challengers, and Wildcards. The aim of the game is to achieve the lowest cumulative stroke play total across all selected players. If at the end of the tournament fantasy players cannot be separated, the winner will be decided via a tiebreaker. This is based on what they chose the score to par of the winning player to be before the tournament commenced.
Sounds easy right?
