Pools: Buy and Sell Shares in Your Buddies

We've always had side games for tournaments. Pick a side, place a wager, settle up when the round ends. But what if you could trade on the action like a stock market?

Introducing Pools.

Pools is a new way to play tournament outcomes. During a tournament, you can buy and sell shares in individual golfers or team outcomes. Prices move based on live scoring. If someone gets hot and starts climbing the leaderboard, their share price goes up. If they're struggling, it drops. You decide when to buy, when to sell, and when to hold.

It works like a fantasy stock market for your golf crew. See a buddy making a run? Buy their shares early. Think the leader is going to fade? Sell before the back nine. The market reacts to every birdie and bogey.

We support match play pools in addition to stroke play. Head-to-head matches have their own pools, so you can trade on who you think will win a specific pairing.

When the tournament settles, results are calculated automatically. No manual math. No confusion. Settled pools show your payout clearly. You can see exactly what you won or lost.

Every pool shows timestamps so you can track when shares were bought and sold. Transparency matters when money is on the line.

Pools add a layer of strategy and excitement to any tournament. You're not just rooting for your pick — you're managing a portfolio. Buy low, sell high, and cash out when you call it right.

Pools are available for tournaments that have the feature enabled. Check your next event and see if it's time to start trading.
