Example Calculation
Let's say you select a golfer who finishes 3rd in a tournament with the following performance:
- Tournament score: -15 (15 under par)
- 20 birdies, 2 eagles, 0 albatrosses, 1 hole-in-one
- 10 bogeys, 1 double bogey
- All 4 rounds under par (streak bonus applies)
- Made the cut and led after round 2
Points calculation would be:
- 3rd place finish: 425
- 15 strokes under par (15 × 10): 150
- 20 birdies (20 × 5): 100
- 2 eagles (2 × 15): 30
- 1 hole-in-one: 50
- 10 bogeys (10 × -3): -30
- 1 double bogey: -8
- Streak bonus: 25
- Cut made: 25
- Round leader (round 2): 20
- Top 10 bonus: 75
Total Points: 862 points
