The Season Story
How 2026 unfolded
The Bourbon Apocalypse finished in the league's top half in 7th Place with 597 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. Matt Fitzpatrick supplied another 74 points, while Cameron Young emerged as one of the roster's most efficient value picks.
The high-water mark came at THE PLAYERS Championship, where the team scored 42 points and finished tied for 2nd Place for the week. The low point was Sony Open in Hawaii at just 0 points. The scoring profile was remarkably balanced: 306 points in the first half and 291 in the second.
Major Championship Points became the clearest team signature: 114, good for 3rd Place in PS&T. The four majors produced 114 points (3rd Place), while the three playoff events produced 80 (T7).

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
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
Cameron Young beat the price tag
Cameron Young delivered 72 points and finished 4th Place among every PS&T golfer. Among Pool C golfers, he ranked 1st Place out of 8 in season scoring.
The value was not just one hot tournament. He scored in 19 events and supplied 8 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
The scoring distribution landed in a healthy middle ground, with the top five responsible for 65.7% of the total. Together they produced 392 points. Behind the MVP, Matt Fitzpatrick, Cameron Young, Sam Burns and Tommy Fleetwood formed the core that determined whether the team could turn a star season into a strong fantasy finish.
The fifth-best scorer still contributed 57 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
Luke Clanton was the toughest roster spot
No 11-player fantasy roster is perfect, and Luke Clanton was the least productive slot here. He finished with 6 points, 49th Place overall, and scored in 6 events.
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
Major Championship Points told the clearest story
The strongest league-wide indicator was major championship points: 114, ranking 3rd 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, top-half finishes was the softer spot at 16, ranking 9th Place. The majors produced 114 points and the playoffs produced 80, 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
The four majors were their own mini-season. This roster scored 114 major points, good for 3rd Place in PS&T. The biggest individual contributors were Scottie Scheffler (27), Sam Burns (25), Cameron Young (21).
The three-event playoff run produced 80 points and a T7 league ranking. Scottie Scheffler (23), Patrick Cantlay (12), Sam Burns (11) 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 5th Place
The team climbed as high as 5th Place after The Open Championship, 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, 12 points separated it from S O S 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
The Bourbon Apocalypse finished with 597 points in 7th Place overall. The top five golfers accounted for 65.7% of the scoring, while Luke Clanton 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 major championship points 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.

The apocalypse arrived. Unfortunately, it hit the roster first.
Read the part you’re probably going to wish you hadn’t
Sam Clem promised The Bourbon Apocalypse, which sounds terrifying until you realize most of the destruction happened to Sam's own place in the standings. The team finished in 7th place with 597 points. If this was the apocalypse, the rest of the league mostly watched it from a safe distance while eating snacks.
Sam got the Apocalypse as high as 5th place after The Open Championship, then watched it stagger two places backward to seventh. The best week delivered 42 points; the worst delivered 0, and there were two zero-point weeks. Apparently even the end of the world takes occasional Sundays off.
Scottie Scheffler scored 131 points and 21.9% of the total. Luke Clanton supplied only 6 and ranked 49th overall. The top five owned 65.7% of the scoring, leaving the bottom six to play the role of empty bottles rolling around in the back seat after last call.
The majors were the strong stuff: 114 points and ranked 3rd in PS&T. The team also won 2 tournaments. But the halves slipped from 306 to 291, and the playoffs managed only 80. Sam built a roster that showed up for the big bottles and occasionally forgot the ordinary mixers counted too.
The bourbon may have survived. The fucking roster is another story.
Fantasy-golf decisions only. Everybody's dignity was left on the first tee.
