Special Injured Player Rule
Please note that in the event one player from a pair does not compete due to injury, then all contestants who picked that player will automatically have their pick switched to the other player in that pair. This rule only applies when a player does not start the first round. It does not apply when they withdraw after competition has begun.

STRATEGY TO WIN
Remember the idea is to pick who will finish in a higher position at tournament's end... and that may not necessarily be who has a greater likelihood of winning.
For example, take Angel Cabrera who seems to either contend at a major or not make the cut being paired against Matt Kuchar who, based on his history, is very likely to make the cut and almost as likely to have a top 20 finish but has never won a major. If it was simply a decision of who was more likely to win, Angel could be a better choice but Matt is more likely to be around on the weekend. It's your call.
To help you make your decision, Inside Golf has compiled some basic results stats that you can review as you make your choices:
1) Their current Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR)
2) The results from the three most recent tournaments played worldwide on any tour are included so you can see how they are performing coming into this major.
3) The results from the last three majors whether or not they played in them.
4) The results from the last two years for this particular major.
* (DNP means did not play while MC or CUT means they did not make the cut to play on the weekend).
