The Outlook

Cink is in the PGA field for the first time since 2014 and hasn’t made a cut in the event since 2010. I’m not really seeing a reason to play him in any format. There’s not really a ton of upside. If he does get to the weekend, I wouldn’t expect him to grind his way into the top 20 or anything.


The Metrics

Here's how Cink ranks in the PGA Championship field in several key metrics. For many more, be sure to check out the FantasyLabs PGA Models.
