In Splash-managed PGA contests, Splash handles all entry fees and prize payouts automatically — no waiting on a commissioner to sort out who gets paid. Here's how it works.
When Are Payouts Made?
Payouts are processed automatically once the contest concludes. For season-long contests, that's after the final tournament is completed and results are official. For single-tournament contests, payouts process shortly after the final round scores are confirmed.
Winnings are deposited directly into your Splash Sports wallet, and you'll receive a notification when your payout has been processed.
Payout Structures
The commissioner sets the payout structure when creating the contest. Common options:
Winner Takes All — The top entry wins the entire prize pool
Top X Places — Prizes distributed across multiple finishing positions (e.g., 1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Tournament Payouts — Prizes awarded after each individual tournament, either alongside or in place of a season-long prize
Segment Payouts — Prizes distributed at the end of each defined segment (e.g., Majors only, first half of season), with a separate prize for the overall winner
View your contest's specific payout structure anytime in the Rules section.
How Are Ties Handled?
If two or more entries finish with the same score, Splash combines the prize amounts for those positions and splits them evenly. Example: if two entries tie for 1st place and the prizes for 1st and 2nd are $500 and $300, each tied entry receives $400.
How to Withdraw Your Winnings
Once your payout lands in your Splash wallet, you can withdraw anytime:
Log in at app.splashsports.com in a web browser
Click your wallet balance in the top nav
Select Withdraw
Choose your linked payment method and confirm the amount
See Withdrawals on Splash Sports for processing times and full details.
Tax Reporting
If your total Splash Sports winnings reach $600 or more in a calendar year, Splash will issue a 1099-MISC. See Splash Sports Tax Policies & 1099-MISC Form for more.
