How To Play

  1. HOW TO ENTER/PARTICIPATE TO PLAY: To participate, you must register online at the official URL: https://fantasygolf.pgatour.com/roster and follow the posted steps to play the PGA TOUR Fantasy game. By registering, you agree to accept and be bound by all terms of these Official Rules and the decisions of Sponsor and Game Entities, which shall be final.

JOINING A GROUP

Users will be asked to submit their email address and create a password that will be used for future logins.  In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of an Entrant, the dispute will be resolved in favor of the individual who is the authorized account holder of the email address submitted at the time of registration.  Authorized account holder is defined as the natural person assigned an email address by an internet access provider, online service provider or other organization (i.e., business or educational institution) responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.

Creating a Public Group – These groups use the standard contest Segments created by PGA TOUR Fantasy.  (See Rule #2 and Appendix A).  Play against other fans with similar interests, or challenge our PGA TOUR Fantasy Experts. 

Schedule –Public groups will have their season broken into 4 Segments (see Appendix A and dates listed out above in Rule #2).  These Segments are fixed for public groups and cannot be altered. If you wish to play in a league with a flexible schedule, you must create or join a Custom Private group. 

Creating a Private Group - Users also have the ability to create groups which are private and can only be joined if invited to play by the group's creator. Private groups can be set for the full season using the same Segments as public leagues, or set for a custom schedule of events.  A private group uses the exact same rules as a public league, but allows a user to join with their friends and dictate the length of their schedule for group points.  Private leagues can be created at any time during the PGA TOUR Season.

Schedule – As mentioned above, users creating private groups will have the opportunity to pick and choose which PGA TOUR Fantasy tournaments they want to include in their league schedule.  All public groups will adhere to the set PGA TOUR Fantasy schedule. See the Rules section to view which events are a part of the PGA TOUR Fantasy schedule.

SETTING YOUR LINEUP

Select 4 players for your starting lineup and 2 players for your bench before each tournament. Your Roster page allows you to analyze all players in the current tournament’s field, review their performance from years past and season to date. Make your roster selections prior to the first tee time of each tournament. Once tournament play has begun, your roster of 6 players is locked for the week. 

MULLIGAN

However, you can move your selected players to and from your bench in between tournament rounds. Once a player has teed off in one of your starting slots, that counts as a “use” and a usage golf ball will be removed from that player until the next segment begins. If a player does not move off your bench throughout the duration of a tournament, there is no usage burned for that player.

LINEUP LIMIT

Users are limited in the amount of times they can use each golfer throughout each segment.  Golfers are only allowed to be used up to 3 times per Segment. As soon as a golfer tees off it is considered a start whether they finish play or not.  A player who is scratched prior to their first-round start will not count as a use. 

If one of your golfers is not performing up to your expectations, you can swap them out with a player from your bench after each round. If a golfer is used for any round of the Tournament it will count as a start for the Segment limit.
