| 1st – 5th place | 7 |
| 6th – 15th | 4 |
| 16th – 30th | 2 |

THIS WEEK’S 2x MULTIPLIER: Pick the best score for SUNDAY’s ROUND ONLY, in relation to par. (Example: -5, E, +3) The closest participant(s) to the multiplier statistic will earn DOUBLE their total points for the week. Bonus points will be added to the contestants’ point totals AFTER the multiplier has been calculated.
AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to the winner of the tournament.
AN ADDITIONAL 5-POINT BONUS will be awarded to all unique golfer combinations. If two or more contestants choose the same golfers for the contest, then the contestant who entered their selections first will receive the bonus. Contestants that do not select a unique golfer combination will be ineligible for the multiplier and winning golfer bonuses.
