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 2020 Safeway Open, continue at the 2021 AT&T Byron Nelson this week and will continue through to the Tour Championship in Atlanta in September 2021, 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 a new host for the Nelson, and TPC Craig Ranch should be a birdiefest. It's not a hard course, and it's susceptible to being a little wet. We have an interesting field this week, but I like looking outside the top players this week.

2021 AT&T Byron Nelson One and Done picks
Sam Burns: Burns has now won on the PGA Tour, and that could open the flood gates for a kid who has been knocking on the door a lot this year.
Daniel Berger: Berger seems to play these kinds of courses well, where taking it deep is the way to win.
John Catlin: If you're feeling froggy, Catlin has been amazing on the European Tour for the last calendar year. He's won three times.
Jordan Spieth: Folks love Spieth this week because they love him any time he plays in Texas. I'm not sure that's warranted this week.
My pick is Sam Burns. I didn't time Burns quite right, but I wouldn't use him in a bigger event for the remainder of the year.
