FanDuel simulated Masters features Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Happy Gilmore and more

Golf fans will never forget Roy “Tin Cup” McAvoy’s immortal 12 at the U.S. Open or Happy Gilmore’s impressive win at the Waterbury Open.

But have you ever wondered how those two would fare at Augusta National? You’ll get your answer this week thanks to your friends at FanDuel, who have truly created a Masters unlike any other.

How, you ask? The fantasy sports company has launched a Masters Fantasy Golf contest featuring current players, legends of the game, sports stars and yes, movie characters.

The contest is free to play with a chance to win $10,000. The format is simple: players have a $60k salary cap to pick six players to play a simulated Augusta National. Contest entry closes at 12 p.m. (ET) Thursday, April 9.

Each player you select will go through the custom numberFire simulator, which factors in distance, par and your player’s skill level. Four rounds will be simulated from Thursday through Sunday with leaderboard updates at the end of each night.

Here’s a taste of the players you can pick:

  • Tiger Woods
  • Brooks Koepka
  • Rory McIlroy
  • Dustin Johnson
  • Jack Nicklaus
  • Arnold Palmer
  • Nick Faldo
  • Bobby Jones
  • John Daly
  • Happy Gilmore
  • Shooter McGavin
  • Judge Smails
  • Roy McAvoy
  • Steph Curry
  • Tony Romo

My lineup: Jack Nicklaus ($11,900), Tiger Woods ($11,500), Dustin Johnson ($11,300), Bobby Jones (11,100), Happy Gilmore ($7,200) and Ty Webb ($7,000).
