Additionally, fans can rely on a new automatic swap feature, which changes out selections in their lineup automatically, should a rostered player miss the cut, with replacements stepping into the lineup based on how users rank and assign priority to bench players.<\/p>\n
Fans will also be able to follow their roster more easily, with improved integration between the new Fantasy game and the Tour\u2019s website and app offerings.
