Thank you to everyone who signed up to the 2022 The Open Championship Last Man Standing competition, we have had a record 479 entries after withdrawals and entries with non-payment. This is nearly double last year’s competition where we had 245 entries.
The entries have come from far and wide with people joining in from America and Australia, it’s great seeing so many new entrants! If you enjoy this competition then please share it with your mates so we can continue to grow the pot!
The total prize pot is £4,350 after deducting the admin fee which will be split as follows.
1st – £3,250
2nd – £850
3rd – £250
The most popular selections were Rory McIlroy – 117 (9/1), Xander Schauffele – 92 (25/1), Tommy Fleetwood – 67 (35/1), and Matthew Fitzpatrick – 62 (20/1).
Hopefully they will go better than Scottie Scheffler did at the PGA Championship where he knocked out 95 players by missing the cut.
To see the entries in the competition, please head to the Last Man Standing Selections on our website where you can see the three golfers selected for each entrant.
Once the competition begins, the page to be following is the Leaderboard page, which will show the overall score for each entrant and also the entrants who are out the competition due to their golfers being cut at the halfway point.
If one of your golfers misses the cut, then you are out. The lowest aggregate score wins, if two people are tied with the same score then it will go to whoever has the golfer with the lowest individual score then the second lowest score etc. Obviously if all 3 golfers have the same individual scores then the pot will be split.
If, for example, 3 people all finish tied in 1st place, the entire prize pot will be split equally between them i.e. 1st, 2nd and 3rd (100% of the prize pot) similarly to how ties in the actual competitions works.
If the withdrawal replacement box was ticked, if you have a late withdrawal before tee off it will be automatically swapped to another golfer with the same odds. In the unlikely event that there is no other golfer on the same odds, it will roll onto the next golfer on the list e.g. if your golfer is 12/1 it will roll onto 14/1. If this box wasnt ticked, and one of your golfers is withdrawn prior to teeing off, you will get your money back.
Regardless of whether the box is ticked or not, if one of your golfers withdraws after teeing off, you’re out with no refund.
We will be sending out an update each evening with a Top 10 leaderboard on so keep an eye on your emails/social media for it.
