PGA Golf Squares Pools

For the Majors ... or any PGA Tournament

Also known as Block pools, Grid pools, or Box pools, you're probably familiar with this format from its Super Bowl popularity. Now you can create a Squares pool for any PGA tournaments. Your members can pick their squares online, and view the completed grid and all the winning squares - no need to pass around a sheet of paper!

How Do Golf Squares Work?

A 10x10 grid of boxes is setup and each row and column are assigned a number from 0 to 9. Each square of the grid can be claimed by a pool member.

Pool members login and click grid squares to claim them.
Grid numbers are hidden from your members until you decide to show them or the Tournament begins, whichever comes first.
At the end of every round of the tournament, we automatically compare the score of the golfer leading the tournament (X axis) and the number of birdies or better he has to determine a winner.
We will show each winning square and list each individual winner.

Options for Pool Commissioners

RunYourPool.com gives Pool Commissioners numerous options to make your Squares pool as flexible as possible:

Any PGA Tournament—Run a grid for any tournament. You can also set up a grid series automatically for preset sets of tournaments, like the Majors, the FedExCup Playoffs, the West Coast Swing, etc.
Set up master grids—Create grids that use the member square selections from existing grids, but with a new set of numbers.
Multiple grids per pool—Add new grids to your existing pool in seconds. You can even set a game series up (e.g., every Major tournament) just as quickly.
Number assignment options—Grid numbers can be randomly assigned or custom assigned by the Administrator for each grid.
Multiple sets of numbers per grid—Choose to have a single set of numbers, or 4 sets (1 for each quarter).
Maximum pick count—Administrators can specify the maximum number of boxes that a member can pick. This number can be different for each grid in a pool.

Picking Squares

Throw away the poster board! Get rid of the colored markers! Members of your Golf Squares pool will simply login to the website and click the square(s) they want. We also provide the option for Administrator's to enter the names of "guests" into squares, for those that don't want to register and log in. Members of your pool can join and participate from anywhere in the country ... or the world.

Results and Winning Squares

Winning boxes are determined in each round by looking at the tournament leader's stats at that time. The top row of numbers (horizontal) represents that player's score to par, while the side (vertical) represents his number of birdies or better. If two or more players are tied for the lead, the player with the highest World Golf Ranking will be used.

Example

Jordan

Spieth

Score to Par: -6

Birdies or Better: 8

In this example, Jordan Spieth led the 2018 Masters after the first round. His score to par was -6 and he had 8 birdies or better (7 birdies + 1 eagle).

In the sample grid below, the first round winner would be Paul Lombardi. His score to par number is 6 and his birdies or better number is 8, corresponding to Spieth's first round performance. However, you would not be required to find the winner, as we do that work for you, as you can see in the Game Results and Winning Squares section below.

Pool members see the squares grid and all other pool members picks online, in real-time. The completed squares grid can also be printed out and distributed so members don't need to be near a computer to see who has won.
