Golf league playoff tie-breakers

[Zekez]

How does your league break a tie for the last playoff spot?  In my league the top 16 out of 26 make the playoffs. My league is singles and match play. I am not sure of the league tie-breaker as it hasn't ever been necessary since I have been in the league.  I'm not up on all of the league rules so i don't know if they have a tie-breaker in place.

Thanks!

So  no one has ever faced this issue in their league?

Personally I would opt for a playoff head to head, even if it were only a few holes or sudden death. Not allowing for that I would go to prior head to head match-ups. Then a big step down to season long margin of victory.

Play should decide it and that play should reward pressure performance.

Most leagues I've been involved in have been team versus individual.
In our individual club events, only ties for first placed are then decided by having a playoff.
I'm assuming your looking at "End of Year" results and having players records being tied for the playoff position?

If so, when two or more players are tied at the end of the year, the tie-breakers should reflect an order which would be determined prior to the start of the season. I'm guessing most have - Head to Head Match results of the individuals or lowest cumulative scores for the season. 

I suggest you direct the question to the event organizer and request the Playoff rulings for clarification.
