2026 Masters Pool Rules

How it works

Pick 6 golfers — one from each tier. Tiers are based on odds to win the tournament. Your best 4 scores count toward your total. Lowest total wins.

Tiers

• Tier 1 — Favorites (ranked 1–10 by odds)
• Tier 2 — Contenders (11–20)
• Tier 3 — Mid-Range (21–30)
• Tier 4 — Dark Horses (31–45)
• Tier 5 — Long Shots (46–60)
• Tier 6 — Field (61+)

Scoring

• Each golfer's score = total strokes relative to par across all rounds played
• Your fantasy score = sum of your best 4 golfers' scores (worst 2 are dropped)
• Lowest total wins

Missed cut / WD / DQ

If a golfer misses the cut, withdraws, or is disqualified, they receive an 80 for each unplayed weekend round (Saturday and Sunday). Their Thursday and Friday scores still count.

All picks lock when Round 1 begins on Thursday morning. One entry per person.
