# Golf One and Done Pool — Rules, Strategy & Hosting > How a golf one and done pool works: pick one golfer per PGA TOUR tournament, the four majors included, score their official prize money, and never reuse a golfer all season. Source: https://piksheet.com/pools/golf_one_and_done?via=md Last updated: 2026-11-10 **Golf One and Done:** 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. Sport: [Golf](https://piksheet.com/golf?via=md) **Availability:** Golf pools open on PikSheet ahead of the 2027 PGA TOUR season. ## How it works 1. Before each tournament, pick one golfer in the field. 2. Your golfer's official prize money from that tournament is added to your total. A golfer who misses the cut earns nothing that week. 3. Once you use a golfer, you can't pick them again for the rest of the season. 4. The pool runs across the PGA TOUR season, the four majors included; the commissioner sets where it starts and ends. 5. Picks lock before the tournament starts, and then everyone's golfer is visible. Most total prize money at the end of the season wins. ## Three tournaments 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 - The 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. - Plan the season, not the week. Map which tournaments suit which golfers before you spend a favorite in a weak field. - Weaker-field events are where a mid-tier golfer can win, and they're the weeks the top players often skip. - Check 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) ## Frequently asked questions ### 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. ### When does a 2027 golf one and done pool start? The 2027 PGA TOUR season opens with The American Express the week of January 18, 2027 and runs through the TOUR Championship the week of August 23. Golf pools open on PikSheet ahead of the season. ## Related - [Compare every pool format](https://piksheet.com/pools/compare?via=md) - [Pricing](https://piksheet.com/pricing?via=md) --- Most pages on https://piksheet.com have a markdown version: add .md to the URL (the home page is https://piksheet.com/index.md) or request the page with `Accept: text/markdown`. https://piksheet.com/llms.txt lists every page and links each markdown version.
