Splash Sports offers several Self-Managed (Entertainment-Only) PGA contest formats. These contests allow commissioners to run golf contests using Splash tools while managing entry fees and payouts outside of the platform.
Available PGA EO Contest Formats
PGA O&D (One & Done / Golf Pick X)
Also known as Golf Pick X on RunYourPool (RYP)
Select one golfer per tournament
Scoring options include Dollar Winnings (based on tournament earnings) or Total Strokes (lowest cumulative score wins)
Key Rule: Each golfer can typically only be selected once per season
Best for: Season-long contests with strategy and long-term planning
PGA Majors – Tiers / Salary Cap
Focused on major tournaments only (e.g., Masters, U.S. Open)
Two common formats: Tiers (pick one golfer from each group) or Salary Cap (build a lineup within a budget)
Scoring options: Dollar Winnings or Total Strokes
Best for: Groups that want a shorter, high-stakes contest around major events
PGA FedEx Cup Contests
Predict outcomes for the FedEx Cup playoffs
May involve selecting top-performing golfers or ranking players/building a roster
Best for: End-of-season contests with a playoff-style structure
Key Reminder
All PGA EO contests are Self-Managed -- commissioners handle entry fees and payouts externally. They are flexible with multiple scoring options and designed for both season-long and event-based play.
