Join The League! PGA Tour Makes New Fantasy Play
/Sad but true: the NFL thrives in part on fantasy leagues. Why else would people listen to the ESPN overanalysis or read SI's Mid Summer Minicamp Preview Issue?
The PGA Tour has not exactly figured out how to master the fantasy game for the betterment of its product. One theory: the organization has always feared associating itself with gambling of some kind. This is hardly gambling. Hopefully just simple fun and occasionally a reason to throw things at your television after one of your players misses a fairway.
The new "Driven by Avis" game incorporates the tour's Shotlink system and seems intriguing so I'm starting a league you can join here.
The pitch:
PGA Tour Fantasy driven by Avis allows you to show off your knowledge of the sport by picking a team of 6 PGA Tour Professionals (4 Starters, 2 Bench). Scoring is live and exclusive using PGA TOUR Shotlink and based on player performance on the course. Play with your friends in a private group or test your skills in one of our public groups. Whether you want to play for prizes, glory or bragging rights PGA TOUR Fantasy is the only live fantasy game where the outcome of each shot matters.
