Pick'em Scoring - Golf

Every sport has its particular scoring. For more information on other sports, check out the MISC section on our rules page.

All picks involving golfers who do not finish their round or withdraw from the round early will be voided. PGA and Golf are scored for single rounds, not the entire tournament. However, tourney finishing position and made cut projections will grade as normal.

Birdie or better - If a golfer shoots -1 or better on a hole.

Bogey or worse - If a golfer shoots +1 or worse on a hole.

Fewer Strokes - The golfer with fewer strokes in a Rival.

Player Performance: Any Eagles or better will count for the birdies, and any Double Bogeys or worse will count for the bogeys. Any change of Hole par (72 to 71, 70 to 71) during the round will void all selections. The selected player must complete all listed holes for selections to stand. Selections are on the stipulated round only, excluding playoffs.

Made Cuts: Players who are disqualified or withdraw before they complete 36 holes (or 54 holes in the case of a 3 Round cut) are deemed to have missed the cut. Players who are disqualified or withdraw after the cut will be deemed to have made the cut. If there is more than one cut in a tournament, settlement will be based on whether the player has made or missed the first cut. Should 36 holes (or 54 holes in the case of a 3 Round cut) not be completed, all selections will be void. All selections will be graded based on the official result posted on the tour sites.

Finishing Position: Graded based on the standings after every golfer has completed the entire tournament. For example, if Rory McIlroy has a Finishing Position projection of 5.5 and he finishes in fifth place at the tournament's end, people that selected "better" would win those selections. For Round Finishing positions, if a golfer withdraws during a round, all selections on finishing position for that round would void.

Skins Matches: Each player or team will tee off in turn and play continues until each player finishes the hole. The player or team with the lowest score will be awarded the skin for that hole. If a hole is tied, the skin will roll over to the next hole. When a team wins a skin following a tie they will be awarded all pending skins. If a playoff is required, it will be included for settlement purposes.
