Set up a pool in under a minute. Four steps, then you're watching the leaderboard update live through Sunday afternoon.
Choose any PGA Tour event from the live schedule, every major (Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, The Open), signature event, regular tour stop, or the FedEx playoffs. The full season's in.
Tiers are auto-generated from current world rankings: top 10, ranks 11-25, 26-50, 51-100, 100+. You can customize if you want, but the defaults are what most pools use.
Send the link via Slack, text, email, wherever your group lives. Participants click, pick one golfer from each tier, and they're in. No account, no app download, no credit card. Free.
Once the tournament starts, the leaderboard updates automatically every few minutes. Each team's score is the sum of their picks' projected prize money, same metric the PGA Tour uses to rank performance.
The stuff that's not in the step list but matters for running a good pool.
The default deadline is the moment the tournament starts on Thursday. Participants can adjust picks all the way up until then, useful when wind forecasts shift on Wednesday afternoon or someone WDs at the last minute. You can move the deadline earlier if your group prefers.
Each player's "score" is their projected prize money based on current position (e.g., T15 at the PGA Championship = ~$200K). Your team total is the sum of your picks. This is the same metric the PGA Tour uses to rank players, and it produces leaderboards that move every round, not just on Sunday. Read more about how scoring works or why prize money beats stroke totals.
Players who withdraw or miss the cut earn $0 for that tournament, same as the PGA Tour's own accounting. The rest of your team continues earning normally, so one bad pick doesn't bury your week.
Pools work for small office groups (8-15 people) all the way up to company-wide pools (100+). The commissioner subscription is flat $9.99/month no matter how many participants you have, no per-entry fees, no upsells when you grow.
Joining a pool is always free, your invitees never need an account, never enter a credit card, never download an app. They click the link, pick their team, and they're in. That removes the participation friction that kills most pools at the "join" step.
