How It Works
Selection
Select 1 golfer from each of the 9 groups (tiers based on odds, plus any bonus groups).
Scoring
Your team's scores are aggregated. The scores of your 4 lowest-scoring (best) golfers count towards your total.
See It in Action
Watch how your pool score changes as golfers play. Your best 4 of 9 scores count — lower is better in golf!

Payouts & Prizes
Every pool is different — commissioners set their own entry fee, prize pool, and payout structure.
Pot Style
Everyone puts in the entry fee, the total pot splits by percentage — 60/25/15, winner-take-all, or however your group likes it.
Fixed Amounts
Set exact dollar amounts for each place — $200 for 1st, $100 for 2nd, etc. Simple and clear.
Special Funds
Allocate a portion of the pot to charity, a rollover fund for next year, a trophy, or anything else your group cares about.
Free Pools
No entry fee required. Run a free pool just for bragging rights — no money, no problem.
Side Games
Add optional side competitions on top of the main pool. Commissioners pick from built-in templates or create their own.
Daily Winner
Best single-round score each day wins a bonus prize.
Perfect Lineup Jackpot
A percentage of the pot funds a jackpot — pick the best possible lineup to win it all. Rolls over if unclaimed.
Custom Side Games
Cut leader bonus, last place booby prize, best team name — anything your group agrees on.
Everything Is Customizable
Out of the box, every pool is ready to go with sensible defaults — 4 of 9 golfers count, 9 tiers based on betting odds, top-3 pot split. But if you want to tweak it, you can change everything.
Tier Structure
Change how many tiers, players per tier, or add bonus groups like Past Champions, Rookies, or LIV players.
Scoring Rules
Pick how many of your golfers count toward your score. Best 4 of 9? Best 6 of 12? You decide.
Payout Structure
Pot style, fixed amounts, winner-take-all, top 5, or a fully custom split with charity and rollover funds.
Side Games
Add daily winner prizes, perfect lineup jackpots, cut leader bonuses, or any custom side bet.
Setup takes under 2 minutes. The commissioner configures everything — participants just pick their golfers.
