How to Run a Weekly PGA Pick'em Pool

A simple, repeatable format for friends, offices, and golf groups that keeps every Sunday interesting.

Running a great weekly PGA pick'em pool comes down to three things: clear rules, a private group, and a fast way to see the leaderboard on Sunday.

Pick a format your group can run every week without thinking. The most common is a top-N picks format: each member selects six golfers, and the best four scores count toward your total.

Lock picks before the first tee time on Thursday. No edits, no late entries. The Pool by Sidepot handles this automatically with private access codes for your group.

Track the leaderboard live through the weekend. The Sunday finish is the whole point. Bragging rights live and die on the final back nine.

Bring this to your group.

The Pool is live in private beta. Join the list for On-Course Games and Travel.
