This article is part of our Golf Draft Kit series.
Here's a handy 2012 fantasy golf cheatsheet. Full rankings and profiles can be found here. Golfers are ranked by predicated 2012 earnings and upside. For example, Nathan Green (No. 141) is ranked higher than Kris Blanks (No. 142) because he has a higher ceiling, even though his predicted earnings are less than Blanks'. Rankings include last season's final PGA Tour Top 125, top rookies, top foreign and non-members and sleepers who finished outside the Top 125 last season. It also includes Tiger Woods, who finished 128th last season.
