How to Run a Ryder Cup Pool

Ryder Cup Pool Overview

The Ryder Cup pool format will award points to the golfers playing in the Ryder Cup for each match win or halve. Additionally, points will be awarded for picking the winning team USA or Europe.

Pool Objective

Pick a team of golfers that accumulates the most points throughout the 28 Ryder Cup matches. As well as picking the correct winning team for extra points - USA or Europe.

Picksheets

Option 1: Default Setup

Each person selects one player from each tier, for a total of 6 players, a winning team, and a tiebreaker of the final score.

Option 2: Custom Setup:

Fully customize the groupings (tiers) with any combination of golfers and allow picking for any number of players desired. Here's a video that covers the entire process of customizing your pool picksheet and setup: How to Customize Your Pool Picksheet

Example: Here’s a look at the default picksheet setup. The golfers competing on both teams for the 2021 Ryder Cup are separated into six tiers for selection purposes. Pool participants will select one golfer from each tier to make up their 6-player team:
