How Fantasy Golf Works

Everything you need to know to build a winning squad.

Pick Your Team

Each user selects exactly 4 golfers from the field before the tournament begins. You have a 100 bag value budget to spend across your team.

Daily Selections

With 4 golfers on your team and 4 rounds to play, you activate 2 players each round. The Thursday/Friday split is locked in before the tournament — the weekend is flexible.

🔒 Rounds 1 & 2 (Locked)

Must be set before the tournament starts.

Thursday (R1): Choose any 2 of your 4 golfers
Friday (R2): The other 2 golfers play

⚠️ No player can play both Thursday and Friday

🔓 Rounds 3 & 4 (Flexible)

Can be changed before each round.

Saturday (R3): Any 2 of your golfers
Sunday (R4): Any 2 of your golfers

✓ You can reuse players — go with form

The Captain Rule

Before the tournament, select one of your 4 golfers as Captain and assign them to either Thursday or Friday.

The Bonus

If your captain shoots even par or better on their assigned day:

-3 Stroke Bonus

This is added to your total score — a massive advantage on the leaderboard.

If your captain shoots over par, no bonus — but no penalty either. The captain rule adds a high-stakes decision before every major.

🔄

Substitution Rule

After the cut is confirmed (end of Round 2), you may make one substitution — swap one of your 4 players for any other player who made the cut.

⚠️ The Penalty

Using your substitution adds a fixed +3 strokes to your total score.

No matter when you use it or who you bring in:

→ Substitution penalty = +3 strokes

You must stay within the bag budget when making a substitution. This is a strategic decision — only use it if the player you're bringing in is worth the penalty strokes.

Scoring

Your score is based entirely on the real golf scores of your active players. Lower is better.

Score Calculation

2 active players across 4 rounds = 8 player-rounds Base score
