The PGA Championship Contest
We will be using a Modified Stableford Scoring System for this contest. This will be the 5th PGA that we have done this style. Overall, we receive a nice turn-out and the members seem to have fun with the contest.
Here is what you will do:
Pick 5 golfers
At the end of the tournament, we will use the top 4 scores you have of your 5 golfers for the week. This is whether they make the cut(s) or not. I do not know if that will come into play, but it will make things interesting along the way.
The total points of your best 4 golfers for the week will be added together for your final score.
Here is the scoring system:
• Ace/Double Eagle: 8 points
• Eagle: 5 points
• Birdie: 2 points
• Par: 0 points
• Bogey: -1 point
• Double Bogey or more: -3 points
The strategy for this contest differs from the standard picking of a set of golfers and using their score in relation to par. You'll want to look for guys capable of making some eagles and lots of birdies that can also avoid blow-up holes.
We'll use a tiebreaker system as well in case it is needed.
Example Entry
1. Justin Thomas
2. Dustin Johnson
3. Kevin Kisner
4. Joel Dahmen
5. Jon Rahm
Tiebreaker #1 = Total score in relation to par (i.e. -10)
Tiebreaker #2 = Lowest round of the tournament (i.e 64)
***If we still have a tie, we will split the pot.
***Entries due 7:00am eastern, May 18th 2023
***Edits may be made till first tee shot
Have fun with this. This is a personal donation to the pot from myself. We like these contests, and they generally get great reception. I feel like a little reward for all the great work you all do for this place. Thanks.
I actually won my money back at The Masters, so I'm out for blood again!
