Golf Betting Terms

Dead heat rule applies to markets where a tie selection is not explicitly offered such as 2ball and 3ball markets.
A dead heat is defined as an event in which there are two or more joint winning contracts Dead heat rules state that the stake should be divided by the number of competitors involved in the dead heat and then settled at the normal odds. With the dead heat rule the potential winnings are re-calculated based on the number of competitors with the same performance.

A player is deemed to have played once he/she has teed off. In the event of a player withdrawing after having teed off then stakes will be lost on outright, group, match or 18 hole betting.

Where a tournament is reduced from the scheduled number of holes for any reason (i.e. adverse weather conditions) outright bets placed prior to the final completed round will be settled on the player awarded the trophy if 36 holes of the tournament have been completed. If less than 36 holes have been completed or outright bets were placed after the final completed round then bets will be void.

Outrights/Antepost bets on any player who takes part in a qualifying tournament but then fails to qualify for the main tournament will be classed as losers.

Skins Tournaments will be subject to Dead-Heat rules in the event of players winning equal amounts of prize money at the end of the specified competition. If additional holes are played to declare a single winner then this will be used for settlement purposes.
