One golfer per tournament. Never the same golfer twice.
The season-long golf pool: pick one golfer for each PGA TOUR tournament, score their official prize money, and never use the same golfer twice. Most money at the end wins. PikSheet handles the rules, pick submission, lock timing, field reveal, standings, and commissioner controls from one place.

How it works
The format stays familiar to your league; PikSheet keeps the tournament mechanics clear and consistent.
- 1Before each tournament, pick one golfer in the field.
- 2Your golfer's official prize money from that tournament is added to your total. A golfer who misses the cut earns nothing that week.
- 3Once you use a golfer, you can't pick them again for the rest of the season.
- 4The pool runs across the PGA TOUR season, the four majors included; the commissioner sets where it starts and ends.
- 5Picks lock before the tournament starts, and then everyone's golfer is visible. Most total prize money at the end of the season wins.
Member flow
Members pick one golfer before each tournament from the golfers they haven't used yet.
Field reveal
After lock, the pool can see who picked what without chasing text threads or screenshots.
Scoring
Game results update the leaderboard according to this format's rules and history.
Three tournaments
A quick scoring example for this format.
- 1.Tournament 1: your golfer finishes in the top 10 → their official prize money is added to your total.
- 2.Tournament 2: your golfer misses the cut → $0, and that golfer is still used.
- 3.Tournament 3, a major: your golfer contends → one of the season's biggest paydays, from one of its biggest purses.
How to win a Golf One and Done pool
Strategy that separates the pool winners from the pack.
- 1The majors, THE PLAYERS and the Signature Events pay the biggest purses, so a good week there is worth several regular events. Save a top golfer or two for them.
- 2Plan the season, not the week. Map which tournaments suit which golfers before you spend a favorite in a weak field.
- 3Weaker-field events are where a mid-tier golfer can win, and they're the weeks the top players often skip.
- 4Check that your golfer is in the field, and their tee time, before picks lock.
What the commissioner controls
Every rule is set before the first tournament, so nothing gets argued after the fact.
- Tournaments in the pool: where the season starts and ends
- Entry fee (optional — you collect, we don't touch it)
Golf One and Done pool FAQ
What is a golf one and done pool?+
A season-long golf pool. Before each PGA TOUR tournament, every member picks one golfer and scores that golfer's official prize money, and once a golfer is used they can't be picked again. The member with the most money at the end of the season wins.
How is a golf one and done pool scored?+
On official prize money. Your golfer's earnings from each tournament are added to your total, and the highest total at the end of the season wins. A golfer who misses the cut earns nothing for that tournament.
Do the majors count?+
Yes. The 2027 majors are the Masters (April 8–11), the PGA Championship (May 20–23, at PGA Frisco), the U.S. Open (June 17–20, at Pebble Beach) and The Open Championship (July 15–18, at St Andrews). Their purses are among the biggest of the season, which makes them the weeks to use your best golfers.
Can I pick the same golfer twice?+
No. Once you pick a golfer, they're used for the rest of the season. That rule is the whole strategy of the format.
