The Season Story

How 2026 unfolded

Old Flogger finished in the league's top half in 4th Place with 626 points. The season had enough quality to stay relevant, but not quite enough sustained production to break into the podium fight.

Scottie Scheffler was the team MVP with 131 points, finishing 1st Place among all PS&T golfers. Si Woo Kim supplied another 87 points and, from Pool E, also emerged as the roster's clearest value win.

The high-water mark came at WM Phoenix Open, where the team scored 45 points and finished in 1st Place for the week. The low point was Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches at just 0 points. The roster did more of its damage early, scoring 325 points in the first half before cooling to 301 in the second.

Tournament Wins became the clearest team signature: 5, good for 1st Place in PS&T. The four majors produced 82 points (12th Place), while the three playoff events produced 100 (3rd Place).

The Full Review

The season, unpacked

The numbers above are the quick read. This is the deeper story of the picks, the roster construction, the standings race, and the moments that actually shaped the season.

Pick of the Year

Scottie Scheffler set the pace

20.9% of the team's season points

Scottie Scheffler was the roster's most productive golfer from start to finish: 131 PS&T points, 1st Place overall, and points scored in 19 of the 32 events.

27 of those points came in the four majors. He also produced 13 top-10 scoring finishes and 3 full 11-point performances. This was the kind of pick that gave the entire roster a dependable ceiling every time he entered the field.

Best Value

Si Woo Kim beat the price tag

87 points from Pool E

Si Woo Kim delivered 87 points and finished 2nd Place among every PS&T golfer. Among Pool E golfers, he ranked 1st Place out of 10 in season scoring.

The value was not just one hot tournament. He scored in 23 events and supplied 11 top-10 scoring finishes. For a season-long league, that steady return from a non-premium roster slot is exactly the kind of production that changes a team's floor.

The Supporting Cast

How the roster was really built

398 points from the top five

The scoring distribution landed in a healthy middle ground, with the top five responsible for 63.6% of the total. Together they produced 398 points. Behind the MVP, Si Woo Kim, Ludvig Åberg, Hideki Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele formed the core that determined whether the team could turn a star season into a strong fantasy finish.

The fifth-best scorer still contributed 56 points, which is a useful shorthand for the roster's depth. In a 32-event format, those middle-roster contributions matter almost as much as the headline names because zeroes and one-point weeks accumulate quickly.

The One That Missed

Tom Hoge was the toughest roster spot

4% of team scoring

No 11-player fantasy roster is perfect, and Tom Hoge was the least productive slot here. He finished with 25 points, T32 overall, and scored in 15 events. He ranked 5th Place out of 9 within Pool F.

That does not erase the useful weeks he did provide, but over an entire season this was the spot that gave the team the least return. On a contender, stronger production here can turn a close race into breathing room; on a lower-finishing team, it is exactly the kind of roster hole that becomes difficult to hide.

What Really Defined This Team

Tournament Wins told the clearest story

1st Place in Tournament Wins

The strongest league-wide indicator was tournament wins: 5, ranking 1st Place in PS&T. That is more revealing than any single hot week because it shows what the team repeatedly did well across the schedule.

At the other end, major championship points was the softer spot at 82, ranking 12th Place. The majors produced 82 points and the playoffs produced 100, so the biggest stages either reinforced the team's identity or exposed the gap between its best and worst stretches.

On the Biggest Stages

Majors and playoffs exposed the roster's ceiling

82 major pts · 100 playoff pts

The four majors were their own mini-season. This roster scored 82 major points, good for 12th Place in PS&T. The biggest individual contributors were Scottie Scheffler (27), Ludvig Åberg (13), Russell Henley (13).

The three-event playoff run produced 100 points and a 3rd Place league ranking. Scottie Scheffler (23), Ludvig Åberg (14), Si Woo Kim (12) led that closing stretch. For teams in contention, those seven high-pressure events often decided the final tier of the standings; for everyone else, they showed which roster pieces still had enough form to finish the year strongly.

The Standings Race

A season that peaked in 1st Place

Peak standing: 1st Place

The team climbed as high as 1st Place after WM Phoenix Open, before settling back to its final position. The path through 32 events was not linear; good weeks moved the team into range, while quiet weeks quickly gave those gains back.

At the finish, 8 points separated it from Pinckney Pirates directly ahead. That final spacing is useful context: it shows whether one additional strong tournament could have changed the finishing tier or whether the roster needed a more fundamental scoring lift.

Final Assessment

Good enough to matter, short of the podium

Final rank 4th Place

Old Flogger finished with 626 points in 4th Place overall. The top five golfers accounted for 63.6% of the scoring, while Tom Hoge represented the lowest-return roster slot. Those two facts explain a lot about both the ceiling and the limitations of the team.

There was enough here to be competitive. The next step is turning tournament wins into a broader weekly identity and reducing the number of low-return roster spots. A few more dependable middle-roster contributions would have changed the ceiling of this team.

AI Commissioner After Dark · The Roast

The name promised ugly golf. At least the roster stayed on brand.

No mulligans. No mercy.
Read the part you’re probably going to wish you hadn’t

Randy Heldman named the team Old Flogger, which sounds less like a fantasy franchise and more like the guy the starter pairs you with when the tee sheet is completely fucked. Somehow Randy made that energy competitive enough to finish in 4th place with 626 points. Respectable? Sure. Elegant? Absolutely the hell not.

Randy grabbed first place after WM Phoenix Open at Event 4, then spent 28 more events proving that February leads do not come with squatters' rights. The team eventually landed in 4th with 626 points. Its weekly personality ranged from 45 at WM Phoenix Open to 0 at Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. Old Flogger did not fade quietly. It made five separate loud noises and then wandered off the fucking leaderboard.

Scottie Scheffler led the bag with 131 points, ranked 1st overall, and 20.9% of everything Randy scored. Tom Hoge was the softest club in the bag at 25 points and was tied for 32nd. The top five carried 63.6% of the load. Apparently the other six were there to rake bunkers and tell Randy the beer cart was coming.

Here is the maddening part: Old Flogger won 5 tournaments, more than anybody in the league, and the playoffs produced 100 points for ranked 3rd. Then the majors coughed up only 82, ranked 12th in PS&T. Randy built the league's best highlight reel and paired it with enough bad timing to finish forty points back. Five wins, no season podium, one hell of a fucking bar story.

Old Flogger: proof that ugly swings can still post a number.

Fantasy-golf decisions only. Everybody's dignity was left on the first tee.
