Fantasy Golf Tournament Timeline
Each major championship follows a specific timeline with crucial deadlines:
- Complete team selections before tournament cutoff (typically 8 hours before first tee time)
- Teams lock when tournament begins - no changes allowed after this point
- Cut happens after 36 holes (usually Friday evening)
- Final results and winners determined after tournament conclusion Sunday
Setting Your Tiebreaker Score
The tiebreaker prediction can determine the champion in close golf pool competitions:
- Predict the winning golfer's final score relative to par when creating your team
- Tiebreaker only used when teams have identical total NET scores
- Closest prediction to actual winning score determines the champion
Example: If you predict -14 and the tournament winner finishes at -15, you would win a tiebreaker against someone who predicted -19.
The Critical Cut Line
Making the cut is crucial for fantasy golf success - it's a make-or-break moment:
- One missed cut eliminates your entire team from contention
- Rule applies regardless of other players' performance
- Player withdrawals count as missed cuts
