Tiger Woods is many things: a golfer, an icon, a husband, a father and a self-titled Cablinasian. But more than anything else, he's a trendsetter, so it's no surprise that after years of his making it clear that it's all about the majors, ESPN.com has followed his lead.

In lieu of a season-long weekly fantasy golf game, we here at the Worldwide Leader in Sports have made the decision to put all our Pro V1s in four baskets and reimagine our Best Ball Challenge format to fit the Masters, the British Open Championship, the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship. By making each tournament an island unto itself, we're able to bring rampant golf fans and occasional viewers together on an even playing field, while offering fantasy players exciting options to keep the action and trash talk going throughout all four rounds at these events. It's a new era for ESPN.com's fantasy hackers, and it all starts when the best golfers in the world tee it up at Augusta National for the Masters on April 9.

Before we talk about the quest for the green jacket, let's talk about what has stayed the same in ESPN Best Ball. The point of the game is still to put together a foursome of golfers who will combine for the best score each day using "best ball" rules. Basically, the players' scorecards are combined and you get the lowest score of any of your four players on each hole, so if three of your pros bogey the first par-3 hole and the other one drops his tee ball in the hole for an ace, you get credit for the hole-in-one. Also, your budgetary limitations remain the same, with $50 million to spend, so you can't simply load up on the four top players in the field. Like everyone else in this economy, you have a limited amount to spend and if you go over, we'll come and take all the furniture out of your living room … or just invalidate your entry. MORE
