Pick a format for your league

Several ways to run a golf pool with your group. Each one says who it suits and how it plays. Pick the one that fits.

Weekly pools

One tournament at a time

A fresh pool every week. Play just the majors, or join or skip any event.

Weekly Golf Pools

For groups who want a new contest each tournament week.

Runs
One tournament week
You pick
8 or 12 golfers

Pick a team of 8 or 12 golfers from four tiers based on world rank. Your golfers’ scores make up your team total, and if a golfer is cut a penalty may apply. Standings start over each week.

Two ways to play
Fixed Entry
Every team puts in the same set entry. The weekly purse is the number of teams times the entry.
Stroke Play
Each team’s share is based on how many strokes it finishes behind the leader. The closer you finish, the less you lose.

Birdie Ball

For groups who want scoring built on how each hole is played, not just the total.

Runs
One tournament week
You pick
8 or 12 golfers

Set it up like a weekly pool — the same team of 8 or 12 golfers — but the leaderboard scores each golfer’s hole-by-hole results instead of their stroke total. The commissioner sets the value of each, such as +3 points for an eagle or −1 for a bogey. The team with the most points wins.

Season long

Standings that run all year

Results carry from event to event. One leaderboard for the whole season.

Majors Challenge Cup

For groups who want a season-long leaderboard.

Runs
Full season
Standings
Sum of every weekly tournament

Enter a team in each weekly tournament on the schedule. Your weekly results add up to a season total on one leaderboard, much like the FedEx Cup on the PGA TOUR. Miss a week and you can fall behind. The leader after the final event takes the Cup.

Tournament of Champions

For groups who want a season-long game with no penalty for missing a week.

Runs
Full season, plus a finale
Standings
Qualify through weekly tournaments

Runs alongside the weekly tournaments. The top finishers each week earn a spot in the season finale, where the champion is crowned. The commissioner picks how many places qualify each week and which event is the finale. Missing a week only means fewer chances to qualify.

Other formats

Different ways to play

One pick per golfer all year, or a live draft with your group.

One-And-Done

For groups who like a long game and hard choices.

Runs
Full season
You pick
Usually 1 golfer per event

Pick a golfer for each tournament (or more, if your league allows), plus an alternate in case yours withdraws. Once you use a golfer, they’re gone for the rest of the season. The player earnings add to your season total — save the best names for the biggest weeks.

Fantasy Draft

For groups who can meet at the same time for a draft.

Runs
Live draft, then the full season
You pick
Five golfers and an alternate, no shared players

Everyone joins an offline draft — usually a snake draft — and takes turns picking golfers. No two teams share a player. Your team collects the season’s earnings from every golfer on its roster, and the team that earns the most wins.
