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 Tour Championship, 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 Tour Championship, with the PGA Tour moving to another super-hot, humid destination for the final leg of the playoffs: East Lake!

LAST CHANCE! GNN MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL: Join now and get 2 years for the price of 18 months OR 3 years for the price of 2 years! Access all our winning tools and analysis!

The Tour Championship has a strong 30-player field taking on the season finale in a 72-hole shootout to determine the FedEx Cup champion.

Let's try to wrap up strong. Sungjae did a great job, though he came up a little short on the weekend at the BMW. Now, we ride with Russell Henley.

2026 Tour Championship One and Done picks

  • Scottie Scheffler: If you've somehow made it this far without using Scottie, now is probably the time.
  • Russell Henley: He's done well here twice, including a runner-up, and he was great last week somewhat quietly.
  • Patrick Cantlay: Cantlay loves himself some East Lake, and he shows up at the BMW again to qualify.
  • Viktor Hovland: Hovland has been a fan of the season finale host venue, and it lines up with his game pretty well.

My pick this week is Russell Henley.
