HOW DO FEDEXCUP PLAYOFF GOLF POOLS WORK?

Here are the rules for our PGA FedExCup Playoff pools:

  • Picks are made for any/all of the FedExCup Playoff tournaments:

    • The Northern Trust Championship

    • The BMW Championship

    • The TOUR Championship

  • For each tournament, pool members select six golfers (pick either by salary or tier). These six golfers make up their Player Roster for that tournament.

  • The goal is to be the member whose roster performs the best, cumulatively, as a team (based on your choice of winnings or strokes).

  • Any PGA Player who does not make the cut will be given the highest score of Round 3 and Round 4, respectively, and receive $0 in winnings.

  • Performance is tracked for each tournament individually, but also in aggregate for all 3 Championships.

Whether your members are PGA Tour junkies or have never watched a round of golf before, they'll be able to participate and enjoy this exciting format.

PICK AND SCORING OPTIONS

Pool commissioners can choose between two pick sheet options for their pool:

  • Tiered Pick Sheet—We divide the PGA Tour players in the tournament field into six (6) tiers or flights, based on their current World Golf Ranking. Each pool member chooses one golfer from each of the six tiers.)

  • Salary Cap Pick Sheet—Each golfer will have a salary assigned to them based on their current World Golf Ranking. Participants will be assigned a fixed salary cap they must stay under in order to create their 6-player roster.

In addition to the picks sheet option, administrators also have several other pool setting options available to them:

  • Dropping worst picks—Administrators have the option to exclude everyone's worst golfer (or golfers) from the scoring system

  • Finishing position bonuses—Administrators can optionally create custom bonuses (i.e., subtracting strokes) for members picking golfers who in end up in top finishing positions.

  • Repicking players—Pools can be set up to allow golfers to be picked again in subsequent tournaments or to limit pool members to picking a golfer only once per season.

MAKING PICKS

If you choose the tier based pick sheet, your members will be asked to pick one player from each of six tiers (or flights). The flights are based on the World Golf Ranking of the PGA Players in the field for that tournament. For example, Tier #1 will be comprised mostly of players in the Top 10 in the world, Tier #2 of players between 11-20 in the world, etc.

We make it simple and error-proof for your members to make their picks. They will find our FedExCup Playoff pick sheet is simple and intuitive, and will ensure your pool goes off without a hitch. Picks can be made once the tournament field has been entered in our system and can be changed right up until the first scheduled tee time in each Major.

VIEWING PICKS AND THE LEADERBOARD

Once the pick deadline has passed, members are prevented from making or changing their picks. At that time, they'll also be able to see our detailed pick summary reports as well as everyone's specific picks.

The Leaderboard are updated for you automatically during the tournament as the PGA Players complete their rounds. We recommend using the Player Roster stroke total to determine your winner, which is the default sort order in the Leaderboard report. However, if you prefer to use the roster's cumulative money winnings or Fedex points, that data will be there for you and is a sorting option.

In addition to showing each tournament individually, we accumulate your standings across all tournaments. This allows you to determine winners for each tournament as well as a cumulative winner for the entire 2021 championship playoffs.

What if my members pick PGA Players that miss the cut?

Even the top players in the world sometimes miss the cut at a Major. When your members pick a player that gets cut, that golfer will receive a score equal to the highest (worst) score of the day by a player that made the cut.
