With the PGA Tour deciding to offer a one-and-done fantasy golf platform, as well the increasing number of private one-and-done leagues, we here at Golf News Net will offer weekly one-and-done fantasy golf picks separate from our weekly fantasy golf rankings and picks.

We began with the 2017 Safeway Open, continue to the 2018 Wyndham Championship this week and will work through the Tour Championship in Atlanta in September 2018, keeping track of our picks all along the way.

Before we begin, if you're not familiar with game, read this primer on the one-and-done fantasy golf format, and welcome to the game. It really is as easy as it sounds, but you have to take a long-term view of the season to figure out how best to use players.

What a finish to the majors season! Brooks Koepka won his third major in the last 14 months, while Tiger Woods gave us a glimpse of what was and what might be again. Adam Scott even took us on a good ride, as did Justin Thomas and Thomas Pieters.

Unfortunately, our man Alex Noren missed the cut by a pair. In most every major championship ever played, we would have gotten Noren to the weekend on 2-over total, and the cut was a record-low even-par 140. Crazy.

But we rebound this week in Greensboro at the Wyndham Championship. This is the Last Chance Saloon for the PGA Tour, with the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings getting into the playoffs and the rest of the top 200 scrambling for their form before the Web.com Tour Finals.

2018 Wyndham Championship One and Done picks

  • Daniel Berger -- I was kind of surprised he did as well as he did at Bellerive, but that course was just docile enough to fit his eye. He should like this week, too.
  • Webb Simpson -- If you haven't used Webb, this is the place.
  • Hideki Matsuyama -- A late add into the field, I get the sense Matsuyama feels on the verge of something. He piques my interest.
  • Si Woo Kim -- A winner here, this tournament seems to be his bag.
  • Henrik Stenson -- The defending champ missed the cut at Bellerive, but he's otherwise been solid through the year.
  • Rafa Cabrera-Bello: T-17 and T-10 in his last two starts, and he's going to be on a course he should crush. Let's go for him.

My pick this week will be RCB. He shares my initials, and hopefully he'll get us back on track.
