Golf Tiers Pools

Give your group a team for tournament week.

Run a tiers pool where members choose golfers from groups of the field, then combine their results. Start with six picks and four counting scores, or bring your own tier and scoring rules. Play one tournament or make fresh picks through a series.

Pick one golfer from each tier. A familiar setup uses six picks and the four best tournament scores, with earnings scoring and other counting rules available.

The Masters, another tournament, or your own series.

Choose your tiers setup

Decide which golfers count.

Tiers decide where members pick from. Your scoring rules decide how those golfers contribute to the entry’s total.

Pick six, count four.

Choose one golfer from each of six tiers, then add the four best tournament scores relative to par. The lowest total wins. Apply the missed-cut rule before deciding which four golfers count.

Count the whole team.

Use every selected golfer’s tournament result. With strokes scoring, a poor finish or missed cut affects the total instead of being dropped.

Add tournament earnings.

Score the selected golfers by their eligible official earnings, counting everyone or the best results. The highest total wins. Use this scoring for one event or add event totals across a series.

Your pool’s rules

Set the tiers and the rules around them.

Keep the groupings, counting scores, and missed-cut treatment your pool knows.

Events and entries

Included tournaments: Run one tournament, all four majors, or a selected series. Use the events your group wants to follow.
Roster changes: Open fresh picks for each event, or keep a roster for a defined stretch. State when members can change their golfers.
Reuse across events: Allow golfers to return at the next event, or limit their use across the series.
Entries per person: Allow one team per member or a chosen number of separate entries.

Tiers and selections

How tiers are formed: Group golfers by winning odds, world rankings, or your own divisions of the field.
Number of tiers: Use six groups or another number that fits the field and roster size.
Picks per tier: Choose one golfer from each group, or specify different pick counts for selected tiers.
Shared selections: Several entries can choose the same golfer. A pick does not reserve that golfer for one member.
Changes to the field: Define how a withdrawal or late addition affects the tiers and any picks already submitted.

Scoring and the finish

Strokes scoring: Add the counting golfers’ tournament scores relative to par. The lowest total wins; define how incomplete rounds are scored.
Earnings scoring: Add eligible official tournament earnings. The highest total wins. Tour bonuses and other money outside the selected tournament need a separate rule.
Counting golfers: Count the whole roster or its best results, such as four of six. Use the same counting rule for every entry.
Tournament totals or daily bests: Choose counting golfers by their full tournament results, or count the best scores separately each round. Daily-best scoring can use different golfers on different days.
Amateurs and earnings: An amateur can contribute a stroke score but does not earn professional prize money. For earnings pools, state any house rule that awards a substitute value.
Missed cuts: For strokes, assign a score or penalty for unplayed rounds before selecting the counting golfers. For earnings, use the eligible official money awarded, which may be zero.
Withdrawals and disqualifications: Define how an incomplete result scores and whether it can be dropped. A golfer who stops playing cannot gain an advantage from having fewer recorded strokes.
Playoff holes: Use regulation scores for stroke totals unless your rules say otherwise. The playoff still decides the official finishing order and tournament earnings.
Series totals: Combine event results using your scoring method. Optional event multipliers or dropped events should be listed with the schedule.
Tiebreakers: A predicted winning score can separate tied entries in a single tournament. Specify the score being predicted, how equally close guesses rank, and what settles any remaining tie.

Deadlines and replacements

Entry and pick deadlines: Choose when joining closes and when each event’s picks lock, before tournament play begins.
Missed selections: Set the score or penalty for an incomplete lineup or a missed event. Include any automatic-pick rule in the pool rules.
Alternates: Allow a preselected backup if your pool uses one. Define the trigger, such as a golfer withdrawing before starting, and the alternate’s eligibility.
Withdrawals after play starts: Use the announced scoring or replacement rule. Permission to replace a pre-start withdrawal does not automatically allow a substitution during the tournament.
Shortened or cancelled events: Decide whether an official shortened result counts and what happens when there is no official result.

Commissioner controls

Seeing other picks: Reveal selections when the event’s pick deadline arrives.
Commissioner picks: Enter and fix picks for a member, or turn that off
Rules text: A rules page generated from your settings, plus a note in your own words
Audit markers: Commissioner-entered picks remain marked for members to see.
Entry management: Keep track of who has joined, how many entries they have, and who still owes their dues.

A setup question, a scoring issue, a house rule you want to try: you’ll hear from the people building Picksheet.

Before the first tee time.

A few choices to settle with the pick sheet.

Do tiers pools always use six golfers and count four?

No. That is a familiar setup, not a requirement. You choose the tier count, picks from each tier, and number of results that count.

What happens when a golfer misses the cut?

In strokes scoring, apply the pool’s score or penalty for the unplayed rounds. Then use the counting-score rule to decide whether that golfer contributes. Earnings scoring uses the eligible official money awarded.

Do members keep the same golfers for all four majors?

A majors series can use new selections for each tournament. Keeping one roster throughout is a different choice. State when rosters refresh and whether a golfer can be used again.

How does this differ from salary cap?

Tiers require selections from particular groups. Salary cap lets members build a roster within a budget, using the assigned cost of each golfer. Explore Golf Salary Cap.

Is this the same as One and Done?

Classic One and Done uses one golfer per event and permits each golfer once across the series. A tiers entry contains several golfers selected from separate groups. Explore Golf One and Done.
