The PGA Tour just released an official statement regarding Cameron Champ. The two-time tour winner tested positive on Tuesday and will be replaced by Sebastian Cappelen. Champ is reportedly asymptomatic but will be in quarantine for the appropriate amount of time. Due to the timing of this move, Cappelen might not get added to the player pool.

Cameron Champ made his presence known early in his rookie season by winning The Sanderson Farms during the fall start to the season. The long-hitting Champ quickly became the darling of the DFS world as he posted two more top 10 or better finishes before the end of the calendar year. Champ has struggled to find his game over the last few months and even had to withdraw from The Players Championship to rest an ailing back. The once popular Champ is set to return this week after missing almost a month of time to get his back in better shape. Despite his discount in salary, Champ will be an unpopular play for The RBC Heritage. The combination of his poor recent form and the fear of injury will have many taking the wait and see approach on Champ. It's somewhat of a surprise to see Champ make a return to a venue that does not appear to fit his game. While there is no doubt about the upside this young player brings to the table, the addition of Champ to a GPP lineup should be looked at as a deep sleeper this week. Champ will be a better option on courses where his length can play to his advantage.

In just a few months, Cameron Champ has experienced the highs and lows of being a PGA Tour player. Winning in only his second start as a PGA Tour member, Champ set the bar very high in terms of expectations. Like many other first time winners before him, Champ has struggled since that victory missing three out of his last five cuts. Known for his ability to absolutely crush the golf ball, Champ should find his first visit to Bay Hill to his liking. Historically a venue that favors par 5 scoring, Champ should have plenty of great scoring opportunities this week. Trending down in both price and ownership, Champ has shown more than enough upside to be considered a great GPP option on the week.

Current Web.com Tour player and future PGA Tour player, Cameron Champ is in this week's RBC Canadian Open via a sponsor's exemption. The long-hitting Champ will make his 5th start on Tour this week and will look to carry over his awesome play from The Web.com Tour to golf's biggest stage. Currently ranked in the third position on the Web.com money list, Champ comes into this week with 5 straight top 10's on the Web.com Tour including a win two weeks ago at The Utah Championship. The combination of his current form and skill set have Champ positioned near the top of our projections in terms of Pt/$/K for The RBC Canadian Open. Currently listed as +5000 favorite to win this week, Champ stands out as a great value in comparison to his DFS price across the industry. Champ has struggled to play well in his other starts this season, but now with the pressure off in terms of gaining a tour card, this young player is in a great spot to go out and play without any extra concern of his future status on tour.
