How the MGT Scoring System Works

The MGT Scoring System — while similar to the traditional Callaway System — is based in certain part on luck and allows a “handicap allowance” to be determined and then applied to each golfer’s score.

​

Groups of golfers tee off and complete their rounds playing stroke play and scoring in the normal fashion with one exception: double par is the maximum score (for example, 8 is the maximum score on a par-4).

After the tournament play is completed, the tournament convenor assigns a non-MGT member to draw six random holes.  The players total score for these selected holes are multiplied by 3; the golf course’s par is subtracted from that total; then the resulting number is multiplied by 80 percent. That result is the golfer’s “handicap allowance.” The allowance is subtracted from the player’s gross score and the result is the net MGT Scoring System score.

​

For each closest to the pin and long drive won by a player, they will receive an additional stoke off their adjusted total score. 

​

Tour points are awarded based on a players adjusted final scoring position.  After all four rounds are added together, the player with the highest point total will be crowned Tour Champion.
