This was the first time trialling launching on a Sunday evening rather than the usual week in advance, as a result we had more golfers priced up by Bet365 which has hopefully resulted in less duplicate picks!
Last year there was £2,850 prize pot for the US Open and it’s safe to say that we’ve slightly exceeded that as the prize pot for this year is a MASSIVE £7,650!
We have had a competition record 851 entries, after entries with non-payment were removed.
If you enjoy this competition then please share it with your mates so we can continue to grow the pot.
Our aim was to have a £6,000 prize pot for this competition and we’ve ended up easily beating that so thank you for entering!
The total prize pot is £7,650 after deducting the admin fee which will be split as follows.
1st – £5,750
2nd – £1,500
3rd – £400
The most popular selections were Scottie Scheffler – 181 (7/1), Viktor Hovland – 157 (16/1), Tommy Fleetwood – 150 (50/1), Brooks Koepka – 142 (11/1) and Justin Rose – 121 (40/1).
Taking a huge fall from grace is Tony Finau who was picked 98 times for the PGA Championship, he was only selected 20 times for this competition!
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 If this box wasnt ticked, and one of your golfers is withdrawn prior to teeing off, you will get your money back.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 day with a Top 10 leaderboard on so keep an eye on your emails/social media for it, however if you want more frequent updates then please use the leaderboard.
