Fantasy golf is a game in which the participants each assemble a team of real life golfers and then score points based on those players' performance in golf tournaments, with games typically following the US PGA Tour and the European Tour.

A common variant sees a squad of golfers selected annually with a set budget based on their prior performance, with weekly teams selected from the larger squads. Participating in fantasy golf can add enjoyment to golf viewing, as well as providing competition against other participants. The PGA Tour provides its own fantasy golf competition in conjunction with Yahoo! Sports - with Nike Golf and the PGA Tour for the best performing players - though with an unusual format.
