## How it works

1. The commissioner picks the tournaments: a single event such as the Masters, a set such as the four majors, or the PGA TOUR season.
2. The field is split into tiers, from the favorites down, and members pick golfers from each tier. The commissioner sets how many tiers there are; the classic Pick 6 is six golfers, which is where the name comes from.
3. A golfer's score is their score to par for the tournament, and only an entry's best scores count. The commissioner sets how many.
4. The commissioner also sets, before the first tee time, how a golfer who misses the cut or withdraws counts.
5. Picks lock at the first tee time; after that everyone's golfers are visible. Lowest total wins.

## Example: six golfers, best four count

1. Tier 1: −9 · Tier 2: −4 · Tier 3: +2 · Tier 4: −6 · Tier 5: missed cut · Tier 6: −1
2. Best four: −9, −6, −4 and −1
3. Entry total: −20. The +2 and the missed cut don't count.

## How to win

- Only your best scores count, so you can afford a risk or two in the lower tiers. One long shot who contends can win a pool.
- In the top tier, most entries take the same favorite or two. In a big pool, a different top-tier pick is how you separate from the field.
- Recent form and course history beat reputation. Look at a golfer's last few starts and how they've played this course.
- Check tee times and the weather. An early-late draw can split the field by a few shots over the first two rounds.

## What the commissioner controls

Every rule is set before the first tee time, so nothing gets argued after the fact.

- Tournaments: one event, several, or the PGA TOUR season
- Number of tiers and golfers per entry
- How many scores count
- Missed-cut and withdrawal rule
- Entry fee (optional — you collect, we don't touch it)

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a Golf Pick 6 pool?

A tiered golf pool. The tournament field is split into tiers from the favorites down, each member picks golfers from the tiers before the first tee time, and the best scores to par count. Lowest total wins. The classic version is six golfers, which is where the name comes from.

### How does a tiered golf pool work?

Tiers stop everyone from taking the same five favorites. You pick from each tier, so every entry has a mix of contenders and long shots, and only your best scores count toward your total. The commissioner sets the number of tiers and how many scores count before the tournament.

### Can I run a Masters pool with Golf Pick 6?

Yes. Golf Pick 6 runs for a single tournament such as the Masters, April 8–11, 2027, or for several, such as all four majors.

### What happens if my golfer misses the cut?

Your pool's rule decides, and the commissioner sets it before the first tee time. Because only your best scores count, one missed cut doesn't have to sink an entry.

### When can I start a golf pool on PikSheet?

Golf pools open on PikSheet ahead of the 2027 PGA TOUR season, which starts with The American Express the week of January 18, 2027.
