We are hours away from the start of the 2008 PGA Tour season.  In honor of the new year,  Shlink Lincoln Sports is counting down the Top 12 SLS Ranked golfers with the 12 Days of Rotoff.   Who will be #1?  (Who could it be?).  Drum roll please………………….

#1

Tiger Woods

There is no other player as dominant in any other (fantasy) sport than Tiger Woods.  Quite simply Tiger is the reason my Rotoff Golf league went to an Auction format this season.  In standard snake Draft leagues the team that drafts Tiger has an unfair advantage on the rest of the field.

Tiger is best in all Rotoff stats (listed below) except for one.  His 16 Events Played in 2007 ranks T138 amongst the SLS Top 200 golfers.  Imagine how much more dominant Tiger would be if he played 20+ events every year.   

Tiger has the best Rotoff Scoring Average, didn’t miss a Cut in 07, and his 7 Wins were worth a lot of Bonus Points.  The team that drafted Tiger in our first season of Rotoff Golf went on to win 2 Majors and the SLS Cup. 

The only real way to even the playing field in fantasy golf is with a Draft Auction.  The team that places the winning bid on Tiger will certainly compete, but will be spread a bit thin when Tiger is not in their lineup.  Expect to pay big for Tiger.  Based on the numbers I have him projected at 58.5 units, but to get Tiger for that much would be a steal.  He went for 69 units (out of 100 available for 10 golfers) in my Rotoff league auction. 

How much would you pay for Tiger?

Event Played:     16

Rotoff Scoring Average:     -11.26

Wins:     7

Total Bonus Points:     23

Top 10:     12

Cut/WD/DQ:     0

Units (of 100):     58.5

I hope you enjoyed the 12 Days of Rotoff series.  I would love to hear how you did in your fantasy golf Draft and/or Auction.  Please post a comment below.
