The best golfers in the world are in Norton, Mass., this weekend for the Deutsche Bank Championship, which means it’s time for some more daily fantasy sports picks.

But considering all the big names in the field at TPC Boston, it’s easier than it looks to come up with a list of fantasy players.

So we tried to help you out as much as we can with our five top picks, which you can see below.

Rickie Fowler
Yes, Fowler has struggled this year, so much so that he’s not even a lock for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, but he’s still the Deutsche Bank Championship defending champion. Fowler overcame a two-shot deficit with just five holes left to beat Henrik Stenson last season in impressive fashion. Fowler also had a top-10 finish at The Barclays last week, although he faltered late.

Jason Day
Day is the world’s No. 1 golfer and sits second in the FedEx Cup rankings. But if that isn’t reason enough to pick him for your daily fantasy team, you should take into account his top fours in his last two events, including at The Barclays. He has missed the cut only once in his 17 PGA Tour events this season, and he has made the top 25 an amazing 15 times.

Patrick Reed
When it comes to the FedEx Cup playoffs, the best strategy is to ride the hot hand, which applies to Reed this weekend. He broke through with his first win of the PGA Tour season last weekend at The Barclays, and he also finished tied for fourth at the 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship.

Adam Scott
Scott’s first PGA Tour win came at TPC Boston in 2003, and he has a good chance to add another Deutsche Bank Championship win this weekend. It has been a while since he won back-to-back Tour titles in late February/early March, but he’s coming off a tie for fourth at The Barclays.

Charley Hoffman
Here’s a name you always should look for at TPC Boston. Hoffman won the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship, and he was in contention last year, too. He didn’t have the best of summers, but he showed signs of improving at The Barclays with a top-15 finish.
