Looking for 2017 Barracuda Championship picks, either for betting or fantasy golf games like DraftKings, FanDuel, Yahoo, Golf Channel or the PGA Tour?

We have your 2017 Barracuda Championship rankings and expert picks, as we do each week of the PGA Tour season.

The Barracuda Championship is the opposite-field event played against the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, with Montreux Golf and Country Club, hosting the event. The players in the field range from those struggling on the PGA Tour to long-time veterans who are ineligible for the year's third major.

For those new to our weekly picks, we offer our top 10 players for free. For non-opposite-field events, GNN Plus members get additional analysis and research otherwise hidden to the general public, and that's in addition to access to a searchable database of PGA Tour results from 2011-present, top-15 PGA Tour trends and season-long DraftKings salary trends.

2017 Barracuda Championship rankings: Top 10 picks

1. Daniel Summerhays -- Summerhays has made six cuts in a row, and he showed a glimmer of another good finish in Canada but struggled on the weekend. Solid choice, though maybe not the best at filling it up for Stableford.

2. Scott Stallings -- Stallings has made eight of his last nine cuts, and he's got a pair of top-fives in two of his last three starts, including in the last oppo event.

3. Robert Garrigus -- Perhaps a high ranking for Garrigus, who posted back-to-back top-10s for the first time in five years on Sunday in Canada, but he seems perfect for this event.

4. Sam Saunders -- Saunders been on a nice run of late and got to feel being in contention in Canada over the weekend. Typically devours oppo-field events.

5. Chesson Hadley -- Chessie with a couple of top-27 finishes in go-low events on his last two PGA Tour starts. Get the snaps ready for birdies and eagles this week.

6. Smylie Kaufman -- Smylie with a T-12 at Barbasol and a T-27 in Canada. He's putting together more consistent form.

7. Brandon Hagy -- Hagy had a sniff in Canada with a T-5 finish. He's got the power to dominate and is beginning to realize how to grind out good finishes instead of just made cuts.

8. Ben Martin -- Ben Martin's cuts-made streak ended at nine in Canada thanks to some Friday foibles. He'll be back on the saddle this week.

9. Cameron Percy -- Percy has a couple of top-15 finishes in recent memory, and the vet has made five of his last six cuts.

10. Ryan Blaum -- Blaum has made five cuts in a row, with top-seven finishes in a pair of go-low events.
