Playoff Policy

Local Tours, State Invitationals

Ties for 1st place will be broken with a sudden death playoff. If weather or darkness prevents completion of a sudden-death playoff, the winner will be decided by a scorecard playoff:

  • All ties for 18-hole players will be determined on the basis of the best score on the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same score for the last nine, determine the winner on the basis of the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 18th hole. 
  • All ties for 9-hole players will be determined on the basis of the best score on the last six holes, last three holes and finally the 9th hole. 
  • If the players are still tied using the above method, continue backwards from the last hole until a winner is determined
  • If the competition has a multiple tee start for 18-hole players, it is recommended that the “last nine holes, last six holes, etc.” is considered to be holes 10-18, 13-18, etc. 

If an event is shortened due to inclement weather, scorecard playoffs will be determined by:

  • 5 holes completed – last three, last hole
  • 9 holes completed – last 9, last six, last three, last hole

If the players are still tied using the above methods, continue backwards from the last hole until a winner is determined.
 
Ties for Local Tour Player of the Year will be determined based on the best finish in the Tour Championship. If none of the tied players attend the Tour Championship, the winner will be determined based on scoring average.

Regional, World, Teen World, European Championships

Ties for 1st place will be broken with a sudden-death playoff. If weather or darkness prevents a sudden-death playoff, the winner will be decided by a scorecard playoff using the score on the final round of competition.

If the tie is not broken, the winner will be determined on the basis of the last nine holes, last six holes, last three holes and finally the last hole. If the players are still tied, continue backwards from the last hole until a winner is determined. If the competition has a multiple tee start for 18-hole players, it is recommended that the "last nine holes, last six holes, etc." is considered to be holes 10-18, 13-18, etc. If the players are still tied using the above methods, continue backwards from the last hole until a winner is determined.

Ties for all other awards will not be broken. Trophies will be presented to all competitors finishing in 2nd through 5th place in each age and gender division.
