Thank you to everyone for taking part in The Masters LMS! Apologies for the delay in sending out the prize pot, updates might be a little slow today as Alex is getting married! In the interests of having a marriage longer than one day, the daily update might be a little late as well!
We had a huge number of entries yesterday, meaning we have our biggest ever prize pot. We’ve easily beaten last years number of entries (1,523), the final tally is 1,837 entries.
Unfortunately, there are 39 entries who will be kicking themselves as they didn’t pay the entry fee before the 10pm deadline meaning their picks have been removed from the competition. In addition, there were a further 11 entries who couldn’t add up to 150/1.
This means the total number of valid entries were 1,798, resulting in a total prize pot of £16,200 after deducting the admin fee which will be split as follows:
1st – £12,200
2nd – £3,200
3rd – £800
The most popular selections were Rory McIlroy – 7 (553), Scottie Scheffler – 5 (527), Collin Morikawa – 14 (232), Shane Lowry – 35 (171) and Ludvig Åberg – 16 (157).
It will cause a brutal cut if either Rory or Scottie miss the cut!
To see the entries in the competition, please head to the Last Man Standing Selections page 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 of 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 If this box wasnt ticked, and one of your golfers is withdrawn prior to teeing off, you will get your money back.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.
