Strategy Tips for Players

Pick golfers who consistently make birdies and eagles to maximize points.

Avoid golfers with a high bogey rate, as negative points can hurt your score.

Players who regularly finish in the top 10 will provide steady points over multiple tournaments.

Look for golfers with a history of strong finishes on specific courses, as course familiarity can be a major advantage.
