How We Play

Official Rules

• Each foursome will consist of a 2 vs 2 matchup from USA & Europe.
• Match play format — a push does not carry over to the next hole.
• Texas Scramble: Each player hits a tee shot on every hole. Team picks the best shot, everyone plays from there. Play your own ball for the remainder and use the lower score.
• Maximum putts = 3. If you are on the green in 2 on a par 4, your max possible score = bogey.
• Points determine the amount of your payout — the more points you score, the more money you have the ability to win.
• Payouts will only be awarded to the victorious country. You could win your matchup and not win money.
• If USA & Europe tie, a putt-off between each country's captain will determine the victorious country.
• The captains and team members will be determined by a random drawing.
• Breakfast balls are allowed on the 1st hole. No other mulligans will be permitted (unless purchased).
• Max strokes = double-par — Par 5 max = 10, Par 3 = 6. Please pick up your ball if you exceed double-par.
• Points will not be awarded to anyone who exceeds double-par. Exception: if both players in a pairing exceed double-par, the 2 remaining players will finish the hole head-to-head.
• Handicaps will not be applied to players who do not complete the hole.
• Provisional balls will not be hit off the tee box in case of a lost ball. You and the opposing team will determine a reasonable drop spot.
• Max Handicap = 25. Scores submitted over the limit will be adjusted down.
• In "iffy" situations, please be sure to run it by the opposing team members.
