HOW OUR PGA MAJORS POOLS WORK
PICK ONE GOLFER FROM EACH OF 6 TIERS TO COMPRISE YOUR 6-MAN TEAM
The 2025 U.S. Open field of 156 golfers has been divided into 6 Tiers: 10 golfers each in Tiers 1-5, with the remaining 106 grinders grouped into Tier 6 (the screenshot above reveals only a fraction of Tier 6). Your job is to assemble your best 6-man team by choosing one golfer from each tier.
THROW OUT YOUR 2 WORST SCORES
Only your top four scores count. In this screenshot of the 6-man team picked by 2024 Masters Pool champion Jay Hansen, Corey Conners (Tier 4) and Denny McCarthy (Tier 5) were jettisoned. His remaining foursome combined for a 13-under, good for our title. Over the four days of the tournament, your top four players may fluctuate from hole-to-hole.
MISSING THE CUT
Any of your six golfers missing the 36-hole cut will be assigned third- and fourth-round scores equivalent to the highest score turned in by a qualifying golfer on those two days. In this screenshot of our last-pace entry from the 2024 Masters Pool, all four cut players were assigned a third round score of 82 and a final-round score of 80. Those scores match the worst scores turned in on Saturday (82 by four players) and Sunday (80 by Tony Finau). That's irrelevant; anyone who has to include a cut player(s) among his top four scorers has no chance to win our pool.
