Deadline to enter: this contest will be
6:00 AM on Thursday, August 12, 2004.
To be eligible: for this contest, you will need to be at "Golf Enthusiast" level. This means, you must have a minimum of 30 posts to be eligible for the prize. All other members can play but will not be eligible to win the prize. Spamming of the forum will not be tolerated and will result in your disqualification from the contest and possibly all future contests.
Note: You don't need to be at "Golf Enthusiast" level when you enter but if you would like to be eligible for the prize, you will have to be at that level by the end of the contest (Sunday).
How to play: Select two players from each group (two players from Group A, two players from Group B, two players from Group C and two players from Group D) who you think will score the lowest during the PGA Championship. The lowest scoring golfer of the day will receive 20 points for that day. Each stroke worse gets 2 points less all the way down to 0 points.
For example, if Tiger Woods shoots the low round of the day with -3 and you pick him, you will get 20 points for him. If Ernie Els follows with -2 (a stroke behind), he will get 18 points (2 points less).
In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker will be instituted. Select 2 additional players from Group A and whoever picks the lowest combined score will win.
