How are very big playoffs handled?  I'm not thinking of first-place playoffs, but something like a qualifying round for a 64-player match play field and you've got something like a 15-way tie for 59th place. 

Surely they can't have all 15 tee off in one group?  If nothing else there's no way they could avoid standing in each other's line on the green.  Do they tee off in smaller groups and the first finishers have to wait on the second tee to see who survives behind them?

Big playoffs occasionally appear at the club pro event that serves as a club pro qualifier for the PGA.

 

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      PGA Tour 6 Rule Changes for 2026

      By iacas · Posted

      I'm not so sure about one or two of them. The scorecard length for LCP makes sense. It's odd that they were using a club length on the PGA Tour for as long as they were. @DaveP043, does the embedded ball mark jibe with the ROG?

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By saevel25 · Posted

      JPX ONE Driver - Mizuno Golf Official Website Discover the JPX ONE Driver - /jpxone/jpxone-driver-hero-mobile.webp /jpxone/jpxone-logo-white-lg.svg The World’s first NANOALLOY™ DRIVER... Mizuno is introducing new technology with their JPX One fairway woods and drivers. The new tech for golf but used tech for Mizuno since it is found in their baseball side of the business, is Nanoalloy. Nanoalloy is a microscopic polymer layer put on the face of their titanium driver. What this layer does is change the elasticity of the driver face and increases ball speed over a larger area of the clubface. Adding a bit more elasticity with this layer, they are conserving the golf balls energy from the impact.  Due to USGA rules, this technology falls under their coating regulations. Which add a correction factor to the ball speed testing done for conforming golf clubs. This rule was introduced when Taylormade went to their carbon clubface. Which I didn't know existed.  I am sure that center strikes are at the USGA limits like all other drivers. This has my interest. I am always, "window shopping", for new golf equipment 😉
