TIES

In the event the tournament ends in a tie for any of the top 10 places, the TPGL will use the USGA’s recommended tie-breaking method. First, matching cards is used to determine the winner on the basis of the best net score for the last nine holes. If the tying players have the same net score for the last nine, then we review the last six holes. If still tied, we review the last 3 holes. And, if tied again, we review the 18th hole.

 

RAINOUT

In the event that the round is cancelled due to inclement weather, there is no provision for a tournament make-up date.  The TPGL Committee will determine the best use of the merchandise payouts and will most likely allocate the payouts to other scheduled TPGL events.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Players may use Distance Measuring Devices in all TPGL events.

Non-metal spike policy is in effect.
