Our Rules

OVERVIEW

The PGA TOUR entered a new era in 2007 with the introduction of the FedEx Cup, a season-long points competition, offering a bucket load of money to the eventual winner of the PGA TOUR's first-ever Playoff system.

The FedEx Cup Golf Tips (FGT) competition will also give the opportunity for someone to win a bucket load of cash, with the Tipper who can finish the season with the most FedEx Cup points winning the 8th FGT Prize.

This year’s competition will begin when the Official 2021/22 PGA Tour kicks off its wraparound format, which includes 9 tournaments in the latter months of 2020, and finishing with the 2 Fedex Playoff events in August 2021.

THE RULES FOR THE SEASON

Each Tipper is to enter on the website (or email/text in emergency) a Player’s name by the specified time (usually 9pm Thursday) before each weekly event.

(We will send a reminder email out every week as well as a results and selections summary)

You will be awarded the Fedex points that your selection earns in the tournament

Here is the catch…You can only select the same player once throughout the entire regular season, and again for one of the 2 FedEx Cup playoff events.

Example: I choose Tiger for the “Sony Open” during the regular season and he doesn’t win, I can then only choose Tiger again for one of the 2 FedEx Cup Playoff events.

WIN BONUS – If you are lucky enough to select the winner of the tournament – you will be eligible to pick that player again in another tournament of that type.

If you fail to provide a player’s name, then you will earn zero points for that week

If your player withdraws from the tournament after his first tee shot, you will score zero.
If your player withdraws from the tournament before his first tee shot – you will be eligible to select that player in another tournament. You will also be given the first player named by tee times in the event (If you have already selected that player previously, you will get the second etc etc).

Where the tour schedules 2 tournaments on the same weekend, only the main tournament will require a selection.
Only players who are eligible for Fedex points can be selected.

THE RULES FOR MAJOR AND WGC MINICOMPS

The Minicomps run concurrently with the regular season, no extra selection is needed
The winner will be the tipper who has the best combined points score for the relevant events.
Major Minicomp is contested over the Masters, US Open, US PGA and The Open Championship
WGC Minicomp is contested over all WGC events
In a result of a tie, all tied tippers will share the prizemoney equally

THE RULES FOR LAST TIPPER STANDING EVENTS

The Last Tipper Standing comps run concurrently with the regular season, no extra selection is needed. The organiser will advise which event is a designated Last Tipper Event.
If you score zero in any designated event, you are eliminated from Last Tipper. In simple terms, you need to make the halfway cut and complete the event.
If your player withdraws from the tournament before his first tee shot, you will not be eliminated, but you cannot win overall that week either.
If your player withdraws from the tournament after his first tee shot, you will score zero and be eliminated.
The organisers may choose to alter the scoring to speed up the event – for instance, you may be required to pick someone to finish Top 20. Any change will be clearly advertised to the remaining competitors.
In the unlikely event of all remaining tippers being eliminated in the same week – prizemoney will be divided equally between those tippers.

COST & PRIZE MONEY

The cost to take part will be $50 of your hard earned. This gives you entry into every competition we run.
Prizes will be awarded depending on amount of Tippers.
Prizes will be awarded for Regular Season and overall including Playoffs.
In a result of a tie, tied tippers will share the prizemoney equally.
