    I give my thoughts on the tournament this year and while the vast majority want to be sentimental about Tiger Woods returning we also need to be a bit realistic with expectations. If the ownership is going to be as high as projected the full fade makes the most sense from a roster construction standpoint even on Fanduel imo. There are other ways to get ownership through showdown contests if he gets off to a good start but you have to take stands somewhere and this is an obvious example.
