Tiers just got a major upgrade! With Golf Majors Tiers, you can now run contests across multiple tournaments — including all four golf majors — with flexible scoring options, roster sizes, and more strategic features than ever before.
Whether you're a casual fan or a golf fantasy veteran, this format is built to make each tournament more competitive and fun.
🏌️♂️ New Scoring Options: Dollar Winnings vs. Total Strokes
Commissioners can now choose between two scoring methods for their contest:
💰 Dollar Winnings (Default in One & Done)
Earn points equal to your golfer's actual prize money from each tournament.
Example: If your golfer wins $3,240,000 at a major, you earn 3,240,000 points.
Optional: Add multipliers to specific tournaments to make them count even more toward the leaderboard.
⛳ Total Strokes
Track performance just like real golf: your score = your golfer's total strokes.
A golfer finishes -6 for a round? Your score is -6.
The lowest total score wins!
🧑🤝🧑 Expanded Roster Sizes
You now have more flexibility in your lineup:
Select 4 to 8 golfers per tournament (previously limited to 6).
All players are placed into tiers to make drafting balanced but strategic.
🗓️ Set Your Tournament Schedule
Commissioners can customize the contest duration by choosing which events to include:
Any or all of the four golf majors
Optionally include THE PLAYERS and The FedExCup
🔁 New Strategic Options
🔒 Player Use Limit
Once you pick a golfer for a tournament, you may not be able to use them again — depending on your contest settings.
Perfect for adding long-term planning across multi-event contests.
🗑️ Drop Your Worst Golfer
Don't let one bad round sink your chances!
Commissioners can choose to drop the lowest 1 or 2 scoring golfers from your final score.
Still aim for your best picks, but now there’s a little more forgiveness built in.
💵 Payout Schedule Options
Commissioners can design payout structures to match any group style:
Reward just the overall winner
Pay out top performers per tournament
Mix both with segment-based payouts over the course of the contest
This keeps players engaged through every round, every cut, and every clutch birdie!
