Following Henrik Stenson's convincing win at the Wyndham Championship, the PGA Tour heads to Old Westbury, NY for The Northern Trust.
Our panel of ESPN and FantasyGolfInsider experts have laid out the players whom they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy-point totals.
Picks to win
Took a week off following a busy stretch that saw him play five straight weeks including The Open, WGC-Bridgestone and PGA Championship, where his runner-up finish was his best in a major. He will defend his title on a different course that is new to the field but is unlikely to bother Reed, who looks to solidify his spot on the U.S. Presidents Cup team. -- Bob Harig
On a long yet forgiving course with no prior player analytics, I think the playing field should be leveled. Give me a guy who mashes it off the tee and has been rounding into form after some personal things earlier this year. -- Jason Sobel
Since his T-54 finish at the Open Championship, DJ has been playing solid (not great) golf. This week's course is a par 70 beast with rough that will be similar, in spots, to the U.S. Open. This is gonna play into Dustin's hands just like Plainfield CC did in 2011. Hopefully without the earthquake and hurricane. -- Michael Collins
Dustin Johnson
Johnson hasn't won in what seems like forever, but he has a history of playing well on courses with Poa greens (Pebble Beach, Oakmont) and certainly has the length to handle the many long par-4s and 625-yard par-5 third hole at the Glen Oaks Club. Having not won a tournament since March, one of the game's best is due -- and he has gone T13, T17 and T8 in his last three tournaments, so it isn't like he has a long ways to go to come out on top this week. -- Joe Kaiser
DraftKings value picks
The rookie has had one of the better years as a first-time PGA Tour pro from what I can remember. His missed cut at the PGA hurt as I had a substantial amount invested in him, but the last three times he's missed the cut on Tour, he's bounced back with made cuts and a best finish of 24th. It doesn't hurt that he's long off the tee and rates extremely high in P4 efficiency. -- Taras Pitra
We do not have tournament history this week, so we are going to focus on current form and statistics. Based upon the model on our site, Finau ranks very highly in both areas. He has two Top 10s in his last four tournaments, including a T5 at the RBC Canadian. Over his last 12 rounds FInau ranks among the best from tee-to-green, accentuated by his game off the tee. In addition, Finau also has been good, ranking well above average, in putting. He is only $7,300 this week, which affords you the opportunity to load up on a couple high-priced guys. -- Jeff Bergerson
Noh has been incredibly inconsistent on tour this season, and is coming off two straight missed cuts which will repress his ownership tremendously. Noh is an excellent poa putter (again, this is a repeatable skill) who's a top-50 golfer on approaches from 150-200 yards. He's still prone to mistakes, which hurts his bogey avoidance numbers, but he's elite around the green and is priced well enough that a top-25 finish will more than pay him off. From a mental perspective, Noh will need to compete to get through to the next round of the playoffs as he's currently sitting 100th in FedEx points. -- Adam Daly
FanDuel value picks
Not many players have been on a better run over the last few months than Poulter, who has returned to life on Tour after discovering an error in the point calculations. He's hitting the ball really well off the tee and has been one of the better putters on tour over the last few months. He's terribly underpriced this week on FanDuel as his odds say he should have been much more expensive. He's an excellent play in all formats this week. -- Zach Turcotte
Leishman continues to show solid form this season and that was once again confirmed his last time out with a T13 finish at the PGA Championship. Since his last missed cut in early May, Leishman has added four Top 20s, a Top 10 and another Top 5 to his 2017 PGA Tour resume. The Aussie has the ability to score fantasy points in bunches and is priced only at $7,400 on FanDuel this week. This is a great value and should allow you to fit a top tier golfer or two in your lineup. -- Erik Dantoft
