Ties and Tie Breaking

• In the event of ties, matching of scorecards is used except in Major Tournaments which use Sudden Death Playoffs
• In all other events, as suggested in the USGA Rules of Golf, in the event of a tie after 18 holes, the winner is determined on the basis of the best score (net) for the last 9 holes. (18 holes in multi-week events)
• If the tying players have the same last nine holes, the winner will be determined on the basis of the last 6 holes.
• If the tie continues the winner is determined by the last 3 holes, and finally the 18th hole.
• If this does not produce a winner, then a tie will stand and prizes are split equally.
• All Ties in Major Tournaments are played off in Sudden Death starting at the First Hole.  Players should consult with the Pro Shop before beginning the Sudden Death Playoff
