  • Most tournaments have a cut after 36 holes.

  • A golfer who misses the cut will typically record 36 holes (e.g., under 36.5).

  • Any selection featuring a golfer who withdraws before completing Round 2 will be voided.


Did Not Complete 18 Holes
If a golfer does not complete 18 holes in a given round, the selection is voided.


Canceled Rounds
If the PGA Tour cancels a round, all selections tied to that round will be voided.


Postponements & Suspensions
If a round is postponed or suspended (due to weather, darkness, etc.), it must be completed by the end of the day on the following Monday.

  • If not, all entries tied to that round will be voided.


Playoff Holes
Playoff holes are not included in scoring. Only regulation play counts toward your entry.
