Scoring Rules
From stroke play to cut penalties, understand exactly how your team builds a winning score.
Core Mechanics
How Scoring Works
Stroke Scoring
A player's score is calculated based on strokes relative to par. Negative (under par) is good, positive adds to your total.
Examples
Live Updates
Scores update in real-time as players complete holes. Your team total is the sum of all your active players' scores relative to par.
Penalties
Cut & Withdrawal Rules
Missed Cut
Players who miss the cut receive a fixed penalty of +8 strokes for each remaining round (typically R3 & R4).
Withdrawal
If a player withdraws, they receive +8 strokes for every incomplete round remaining in the tournament.

Questions
Common Questions
What happens during a playoff?
Playoff holes do not count towards fantasy scoring. Final scores are determined at the conclusion of standard regulation play (usually 72 holes).
When are scores finalized?
Scores are unofficial until the PGA TOUR validates the final results, typically 15-30 minutes after the last putt drops.
