- FedEx St. Jude Championship: Aug. 15-18, 2024
- BMW Championship: Aug. 22-25, 2024
- TOUR Championship: Aug. 19-Sept. 1, 2024
Points will be awarded, based on your top 30 player selections and the results for each of the three Tournaments listed above (and then combined for all Tournaments), as follows:
Initial team selection during registration (30 players):
- No points are awarded for the initial selection.
After 70 to 50 cut:
- (Top 50 Players): 1 point for each player correctly picked to advance to the top 50.
After 50 to 30 cut:
- (Top 30 Players): 3 points for each player correctly picked to advance to the top 30.
- Bonus Points:
- One additional point for each correctly predicted player who started inside the top 30 and stayed inside the top 30.
- Four additional points for each correctly predicted player who started between 31-50 and moved into the top 30.
- Eight additional points for each correctly predicted player who started between 51-70 and moved into the top 30.
Final rankings (Top 30 players):
- Exact ranking: 15 points for each player correctly ranked in their exact final position. If players are tied, points will be awarded if the guessed position falls within the tied range.

- Top 5 prediction: An additional 10 points for each player correctly picked and ranked within the top 5.

Tiebreakers:
- General rule: When players are tied, a guess that falls within the range of tied positions is counted as correct, and the Entrant receives full points for that position.
- Example: Assume 10 players are tied for third place. If an Entrant guessed a player in eighth place, and that player is among the 10 tied for third, the Entrant receives full points for the exact ranking.
Tie break:
- Lowest Single Round at East Lake: The lowest single round by any player in the field during the 2024 TOUR Championship. This guess is included on the Entrant’s Registration form.
- Total birdies at East Lake: The combined birdies of the entire field during the 2024 TOUR Championship will be used as a second tie-breaker if needed. This guess is included on the Entrant’s Registration form.
Example calculation:
- Initial selection (30 players): No points.
- After 70 to 50 cut:
- 20 players correctly picked to advance to the top 50: 20 × 1 = 20 points.
- After 50 to 30 cut:
- 15 players correctly picked to advance to the top 30: 15 × 3 = 45 points.
- Bonus points for long shots and upsets:
- Five players started inside the top 30 and stayed: 5 × 1 = 5 points.
- Six players started between 31-50 and moved into top 30: 6 × 4 = 24 points.
- Four players started between 51-70 and moved into top 30: 4 × 8 = 32 points.
Final rankings:
- Scottie Scheffler correctly ranked first: 1 point (for advancing to the top 50) + 3 points (for advancing to the top 30) + 15 points (exact ranking) + 5 points (top 10) + 10 points (top 5) + 20 points (winner) = 54 points.
- Rory McIlroy correctly ranked second: 1 point (for advancing to the top 50) + 3 points (for advancing to the top 30) + 15 points (exact ranking) + 5 points (top 10) + 10 points (top 5) = 34 points.
- Akshay Bhatia correctly ranked in the top 30: 1 point (for advancing to the top 50) + 3 points (for advancing to the top 30) + 15 points (exact ranking) = 19 points.
- Seven other players correctly ranked in the top 30: 7 × (1 + 3 + 15) = 133 points.
Bonus points:
- Two players in the exact top 10 positions: 2 × 5 = 10 points.
- One player in the exact top 5 position: 10 points.
- Champion correctly predicted: 20 points.
Total Score: 20 (top 50 correct picks) + 45 (top 30 correct picks) + 5 (inside top 30 bonus) + 24 (31-50 bonus) + 32 (51-70 bonus) + 54 (final ranking for Scottie Scheffler) + 34 (final ranking for Rory McIlroy) + 19 (final ranking for Akshay Bhatia) + 133 (final ranking for other players) + 10 (top 10 bonus) + 10 (top 5 bonus) + 20 (champion bonus) = 406 points.
