Tournament Golf lets PRO•LINE players wager on head-to-head matches between
the sport’s top professionals!
How does tournament golf work?
With Tournament Golf, you wager on the outcome of two players, rather than
two teams, going head-to-head. Two golfers will be selected by WCLC to
compete against each other throughout a tournament - one golfer designated as
"Home" and the other as the "Visitor". Odds are set on each of three
outcomes: "Visitor Win" (V), "Home Win" (H) and "Tie" (T). Wagers can be
made on either PRO•LINE or DOUBLE PLAY.
When can I wager?
Golf games will normally be available for wagering the day before a
tournament. Golf dates on the Game List represent the scheduled
first day of tournament play, and you can purchase tickets until the sales
cut-off time on that day.
When can I claim a prize?
PRO•LINE golf is different from most traditional sports wagering, as results
are based on multiple-day tournament play. Therefore, you must wait until
the day after the tournament is complete* before you can claim a prize on a
PRO•LINE or DOUBLE PLAY ticket that includes Tournament Golf wagers.
*A 72-hole tournament is considered complete if all eligible golfers
complete at least 54 holes within seven (7) days of the date shown on the
PRO•LINE Game List. A 54-hole tournament is considered complete if all
eligible golfers complete at least 36 holes within seven (7) days of the date
shown on the PRO•LINE Game List. Otherwise, the tournament is considered
incomplete, and odds of 1.00 will be assigned to each of the "Visitor Win",
"Home Win" and "Tie" outcomes for that tournament.
Where can I find golf designators?
Golf designators, which are used on the Game List and
Game Results List to represent players' names, can be found on the SPORT SELECT Designator Page , or pick up a SPORT SELECT
Team and Player Designator List, available at lottery Retailers.
Designators range from two to five characters in length. For Tournament
Golf, the first character will normally be the initial of the player's first
name, and the remaining character(s) will represent the last name.
How do you determine a Win and a Tie?
Unlike most sports, it's desirable in golf to have a lower score. For
PRO•LINE or DOUBLE PLAY golf wagering, if both golfers complete the same number
of holes, and neither withdraws or is disqualified, the golfer whose total score
is three or more strokes lower than the other golfer in the tournament is the
winner ("Home Win" or "Visitor Win"). If the two golfers’ total scores are
the same, or if they differ by only one or two strokes, the result is a
"Tie".
Is extra play included in Golf results?
No. Extra play (i.e. playoff holes) is not taken into account in
determining golf outcomes.
What happens if one or both golfers do not make the cut (i.e. the midway
elimination score)?
There are a number of different scenarios in a golf tournament. The
PRO•LINE outcomes for situations that involve completion of the entire
tournament, and missing the cut, are listed below.
Possible PRO•LINE Golf Outcomes (not including withdrawals and
disqualifications):
|
Situation |
What appears on the Game Results
List |
| Both golfers complete the entire tournament. |
Each player's total score appears. The winner is the player
whose score is at least three strokes lower than the other. If the
total scores are the same or differ by only one or two strokes, the result
is a "Tie". |
| Both golfers miss the cut. |
Each player's total score appears. The winner is the player
whose score is at least three strokes lower than the other. If the
total scores are the same or differ by only one or two strokes, the result
is a "Tie". |
| One golfer completes the tournament, the other misses the
cut. |
The golfer who completed the tournament is automatically the winner,
and their actual total score will appear. The total score for the
player who missed the cut will appear as
"999".
|
How are withdrawals and disqualifications handled?
Although withdrawals and disqualifications are infrequent in golf, these
situations can occur. Their effect on PRO•LINE wagering outcomes depends
on when the withdrawal or disqualification occurs. Below is a list of possible
instances:
|
Situation |
Outcome |
| One or both golfers withdraw before starting their first hole of
the tournament. |
The golf game is considered "cancelled" and a 1.00 value is assigned
to all wagering outcomes for that game. An "X" will appear on the
Game Results List to represent the 1.00 value. |
| One golfer is disqualified or withdraws but completes more holes
than the other golfer. |
The golfer who is disqualified or withdraws wins, providing the
tournament is deemed complete. |
| One golfer is disqualified or withdraws but completes the same
number, or fewer, holes than the other golfer. |
The golfer who is disqualified or withdraws loses, providing the
tournament is deemed complete. |
| Both golfers are disqualified or withdraw, but one golfer
completes more holes. |
The golfer who completes the greater number of holes wins, providing
the tournament is deemed complete. |
| Both golfers are disqualified or withdraw and complete the same
number of holes. |
The golf game is considered "cancelled" and a 1.00 value is assigned
to all wagering outcomes for that game. An "X" will appear on the
Game Results List to represent the 1.00 value. |
What does it mean when the score "999" appears on the Game Results
List?
With respect to PRO•LINE golf, the score "999" will always represent a losing
outcome. It is assigned to the losing golfer in the following
instances:
a) If the two golfers complete a different number of holes, the
winner is the golfer who has completed the greater number of holes. The
Game Results List will show the total score of the winning golfer and will
show "999" for the losing golfer.
b) If both golfers complete the same number of holes, but one golfer
then withdraws or is disqualified, the golfer who has not withdrawn or been
disqualified is the winner. The Game Results List will show the total
score of the winning golfer and will show "999" for the losing
golfer.
What happens if a golfer does not start the tournament?
If, for any reason, one or both golfers do not start the tournament,
an odds value of 1.00 will be assigned to all wagering outcomes for that
game.
Can a 1.00 value be assigned in any other circumstance?
Yes, if all eligible golfers do not complete 54 holes of a 72-hole
tournament, or 36 holes of a 54-hole tournament, within seven (7) days of the
scheduled starting date of the tournament, a 1.00 value is assigned to all
wagering outcomes for that game.
