The fantasy golf season will be broken into 2 segments. There will be one SEGMENT WINNER and RUNNER-UP for each segment with prize provided by GolfBalls.com that is given to the participant who has the highest cumulative total of earnings for all selected players during the segment. In case a tie, the team with the most money earned during the last week of the segment, going back one week at a time until the tie is broken, will be declared the winner.
