PGA Tour one-and-done is perhaps the best fantasy golf game, with season-long leagues that give players a chance to pick one player for each tournament in the league season.
Once again in 2026, we offer weekly PGA Tour one-and-done golf picks for leagues of all kinds, including survivor leagues where the selected player must make the cut for the entry to continue to the next tournament.
We continue our 2026 PGA Tour one-and-done picks with the 2026 Masters Tournament, concluding at the 2026 Tour Championship, 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.
This week, we have the Masters, with the PGA Tour turning to Augusta National Golf Club to host and run the first major of the year.

It's Masters week, and the 91-player field this week is taking on the most iconic challenge in American championship golf. This is a week for the ballstrikers and the guys who won't three-putt at any cost. Keep the ball below the hole and miss in the right places to have a chance. History and experience matters here more than any other major (of course), so keep that in mind.
Last week was a bit of a crapshoot, with so many top players not really trying to win before the Masters. Then again, the reigning US Open champion won amid a weird week and a Sunday marathon. But Jordan Spieth did make the cut and proceeded to do nothing with it.
2026 Masters One and Done picks
- Jon Rahm: Rahm is playing the best golf in the world in terms of strokes gained in 2026. He has one win to show for it, though. He's a Masters winner, and he seems to have found his game again.
- Scottie Scheffler: Scheffler is a two-time Masters winner, but his game has been flawed this year, particularly off the tee. However, he's also been focused on his new baby, so maybe he can just kind of forget the bad and harness the good?
- Matt Fitzpatrick: Fitz is going to be a trendy pick this week since he won at Innisbrook and almost won The Players. He has a good record in this tournament that should impress.
- Rory McIlroy: Rory is trying to do something only three other people have ever done and go back-to-back. His game has been erratic of late, but his year has been quite positive overall.
My pick this week is Jon Rahm.
