Number of rounds reduced
In tournaments affected by adverse weather or where the number of rounds scheduled to be played are reduced for any other reason, outright bets will be settled on the official result regardless of the number of rounds played, unless there is no further play in the tournament after a bet has been struck in which case it will be void. A player awarded the winner's trophy will be deemed an official result.
Outright betting
Predict the winner of the tournament. Stakes on players who withdraw before a tournament starts will be refunded and a Tattersalls' Rule 4 deduction may be applied to winning bets. Stakes on players who withdraw after the tournament starts will be lost. Play-offs will determine the tournament winner. Dead heat rules will apply for placings. In golf team events i.e. Ryder Cup, where no price is offered for the draw, in the event of a drawn match bets will be void.
Tournament match betting
Predict which player will achieve the highest placing at the end of the tournament. If one player misses the cut, the other is deemed the winner. Where both players miss the cut the player with the lowest score after the cut has been made will determine settlement. If both players fail to complete a particular round, the winner will be the player with the lowest score from the previous round.
If one player is disqualified, either prior to the completion of two rounds or after both players have made the cut, the other player is deemed the winner. If both players are disqualified the player who progresses furthest in the tournament will be deemed the winner. If a player is disqualified during either the 3rd or 4th rounds, when his opponent has already missed the cut, the disqualified player is deemed the winner.
A price will be offered for the tie and in the event of a tie bets on either player to win will be lost. Where a match bet involves three players (threesome) the conditions listed above will apply, except in the event of a tie where dead heat rules will apply. Non-participant - threesome void.
Group / top nationality betting
Predict the player in the group who will achieve the highest placing at the end of the tournament tournament. Groups will normally consist of four or more players.
Any player missing the cut will be considered a loser. If all players miss the cut, the lowest score after the cut has been made will determine settlement. If a player is disqualified settlement will be on the same basis as for match betting.
Players are grouped together for betting purposes only. Non-participant - no bet, deductions in line with Tattersalls' Rule 4 will apply. Dead heat rules apply except where the winner is determined by a play-off.
18 hole betting
The winner will be the player with the lowest score over 18 holes. In the event of a 2 or 3 ball being re-arranged, bets will be settled on the original pairings/groups. In the event of any non-participant then the 2 or 3 ball will be void. In 2 ball betting a price will be offered for the tie. Dead heat rules will apply to 3 ball betting.
If a player is disqualified his opponent will be deemed the winner unless play in the next round has started in which case bets will be settled on the original scores. Where both/all players are disqualified bets will be void unless play in the next round has started in which case bets will be settled on the original scores.
When special bets are offered grouping more than 3 players over 18 holes (e.g. 7 ball, 9 ball etc.) dead heat rules will apply. Stakes will be refunded on non-participants and a deduction applied to winning bets based on Tattersalls' Rule 4.
Six shooter
Predict which player will achieve the lowest score over 18 holes.
In the event of a non-participant stakes will be refunded and a Rule 4 deduction applied to winning bets. If 18 holes are not completed during a round all bets on the incomplete round will be void.
The six shooter relates to an 18 hole round only and play-offs do not count. Dead heat rules apply.
