For the first time in a decade, the US Open Golf Championship will be held at the scenic Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, Calif.

U.S. Open Fantasy Golf Preview: Winning Foursome for Pebble Beach

Some may say Tiger Woods is rusty and will not win a major this year. Others, myself included, figure Woods wins every three to four times he tees it up, on an average.

That said, even without a win, Tiger Woods will score points on this course in fantasy golf, and will be my A player choice this week. Heath Slocom will be...

Michael Schumacher once had the hard earned...

Power Ranking the Majors: Which Event Has the Best Fan Experience?
