Formats change weekly, and can be found in the calendar.
Individual Stroke Play
In this golf event, stroke play format will be utilized, where players tally their total number of strokes over one or more rounds. The competition will feature both net and gross stroke play variations. In net stroke play, players’ scores will be adjusted based on their handicaps to ensure fairness across skill levels. Handicaps will allow players of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis. Prizes will be awarded to the top three performers based on net scores. Additionally, a prize will be awarded to the player with the lowest total score in gross stroke play, emphasizing raw skill and performance without handicap adjustments.
Payout % of Prize Pool: Net 1st 37.5% | Net 2nd 25% | Net 3rd 12.5% | Gross 1st 25%**
Skins
In In Skins, a modified stroke play format is employed where players' scores are compared both on a gross basis (without handicap adjustments) and on a net basis (with scores adjusted based on handicaps). The goal is to achieve the lowest score per hole, with separate recognition for the lowest gross and lowest net scores. Each hole constitutes a separate contest, with the player achieving the lowest net score winning a “skin” for that hole, with tiebreakers carrying over to subsequent holes.
The prize pool will be split between net and gross categories, and players are eligible to win in both! Prizes are awarded based on the total number of net and gross skins won, with handicaps ensuring fair competition among players of varying skill levels. If no skins are won, payouts will be distributed according to "Individual Stroke Play" payout rules.**
Individual Stableford
In Individual Stableford, players earn points by comparing their number of strokes taken, including strokes made and penalty strokes, to a fixed target score for each hole. The points awarded correspond to how the player’s score relates to the fixed target score for the hole. Here’s how points are awarded according to the chart provided:
More than one over the fixed target score or no score returned: 0 points
One over the fixed target score: 1 point
Fixed target score: 2 points
One under the fixed target score: 3 points
Two under the fixed target score: 4 points
Three under the fixed target score: 5 points
Four under the fixed target score: 6 points
