A golf pool is usually one tournament, golfers picked from a list, scored by strokes. Fantasy golf is usually a roster, drafted or bought, scored in points, often over a season. The line between them blurs, so here is how each one works.
Not quite, though the words overlap. A golf pool usually means one tournament, golfers picked from tiers or a list, and a combined score to par. Fantasy golf usually means a roster built by draft, auction or salary cap, scored in points, often across a whole season.
Usually not: everyone picks from the same tiers or list, so two entries can share a golfer. Drafts belong to fantasy-style leagues, where each golfer goes to one team. On TourneyRun the Snake Draft and Season Long formats have a draft; the Office Pool and Salary Cap formats do not.
Daily fantasy golf usually means a one-tournament salary cap contest: every golfer has a price and you build a roster under a budget. TourneyRun's Salary Cap format uses the same mechanic for a private group. TourneyRun does not take entries or pay out prizes; the commissioner handles the money.
In a pool, usually yes. On TourneyRun that is true in an Office Pool or Salary Cap pool. In a Snake Draft or a Season Long league, a golfer belongs to one team.
Only if the scoring says so. On TourneyRun, TourneyRun Style points are multiplied by 1.5 at the four majors in every format, and Season Long always uses those points. Classic Stroke Play has no multiplier.
Yes, the Season Long format: an auction or snake draft, a roster of core and flex golfers, a weekly lineup at PGA Tour events, and points added up across the season. The commissioner pays $12.99 once for the season.
It depends on the group. A pool asks each person for one set of picks and works at any size. A draft needs everyone online at the same time, and a season-long league needs a lineup every week. It usually comes down to group size, whether people can meet at once, and how often they will check in.
