" EXPLANATION AND COST OF F.P.G.A. CONTESTS "
100% CASH PAYOUT ON ALL CONTESTS
C T P - Closest to Pin $5.00 - OPTIONAL
In the tournament, two Closest to the Pin (C T P) holes will be designated and announced before play begins, with details marked on the scorecards. If a single player wins both holes, they will receive the entire pot; however, if there are two winners, one for each hole, then the pot will be evenly split between the two C T P winners.
============
SKINS CONTESTS - OPTIONAL
In a "Skins" golf match, two tie all tie means that if multiple players tie for the best score on a hole, no one wins the "skin" for that hole, and the prize money or points (the "skin") carries over to the next hole. This creates a larger jackpot for the next hole, and if another tie occurs, the value continues to build. The term "two tie, all tie" is often used to explain this rule, as a tie by two or more players on a hole results in the skin not being awarded
You can choose to enter GROSS or NET or BOTH or none at all
Gross Skins $5.00 / NET Skins $5.00
The combination of gross and net skins with carryover creates a balanced and thrilling format for a skins game, as it allows players of differing abilities to compete fairly—gross skins reward skill without handicaps, while net skins provide inclusivity through the use of handicaps. The carryover feature heightens the tension and stakes by rolling over tied skins to subsequent holes, ensuring that every player remains engaged and has the opportunity to participate in the excitement regardless of their proficiency. This format effectively blends competition and camaraderie, fostering an enjoyable environment for all.
H I O - Hole in One $1.00
A Hole-in-One (HIO) is a prestigious moment in golf, where a player skillfully sinks the ball into the hole with a single stroke. This remarkable achievement demands precision and skill, making it a highlight of any game; however, the odds of scoring an ace vary by course and hole. In tournaments, the prize pool, or POT, typically increases with each entry, adding further excitement to the challenge and rewarding players for exceptional performance.
How Hole in One works
Entry: Participants pay an entry fee of $1.00 at the Check In table before the Tournament Begins for a chance to win the Current POT as of 11/18/25 is $426.00
Carryover: If no participant makes a Hole-In-One on that day of that Tournament then the total accumulated prize money is carried over to the next Tournament and the money collected for that Tourney is added to the Pot and continues until it is Won. Then a New POT is created.
Payout: If multiple participants make a hole-in-one in the same Tournament the total prize money is split evenly among them.
Another Example: Say you have been entering the H I O Contest each tourney but a another player has never played it and decides to try it and gets a Hole In One during that tourney then he wins the POT. THINK OF IT AS A LOTTERY TICKET 🥳
