Missed cuts and special cases
What happens when a golfer misses the cut, withdraws, does not play, or plays a tournament shorter than four rounds.
Missed cut
Most tournaments send home the lower half of the field after two rounds: this is the cut. A golfer who misses the cut keeps the points of the rounds they played, including the round bonuses, but earns no bonus for the final position.
Withdrawal or disqualification during the tournament
The same rule applies: the holes already played count, and there is no position bonus.
Golfer who does not play
A golfer who is not entered in any tournament of the week, or who withdraws before hitting a shot, scores 0 points. You can change your roster until the week starts.
Tournaments shorter than four rounds
A standard tournament has four rounds (72 holes). Some are planned over fewer rounds, or shortened by the weather. To keep things fair with golfers who play four rounds, the points from holes and rounds are scaled up:
| Rounds played by the tournament | Hole and round points |
|---|---|
| 4 rounds | Counted as they are |
| 3 rounds | Increased by one third |
| 2 rounds | Doubled |
Ties between players
If two players finish a Tournament Week with the same number of points, the one who registered their roster first is ranked ahead.
