So, because I want to play a full PGA season, and TGC offers the best route to do so (although it is part manual), I put together a spread sheet for my season.

It is a full 43 Weeks, including the Fed Ex Cup, Ryder Cup and Match Play. FedEx Cup points are awarded based on the real points system. World Golf rankings is based on points where you finish in the tournament and the Ryder Cup is based off that. Match play (which I am moving to the end of the season) will also be based on my World Golf Rankings.

I took the top 198 golfers from the real world rankings, added Tiger, + the User Golfer = 200 golfers.

My formula for the real golfer scores is using random.org with some tweaks to get a range based off of par.  I did some tests and the winner for a 4 day tournament was around 17-18 under (which at the moment fits my gameplay as I score 5-6 under at BEST for a round). But this can be adjusted whenever.

I matched as many TGC real course recreations to its correct tournament in the real PGA season. I was able to match 26 in total with the other being fillers from some of the biggest courses played recently.



I have attached my Excel document below via Google Drive. I think I did this right (I don't use google drive).

I know it's not perfect, but it's going to be fun and it suits my needs.

Let me know if you have any questions! I may actually post my season as it progresses on here if people want to follow.

It really isn't that much work because I now have formulas that will automatically fill the standings pages. So now the only thing I have to enter is each round for the real players and it's a copy paste

Now building this wasn't short of a lot of work, but now that it's set up, I can use it for future "seasons" too!

Exactly brandyyy. I don't know how much or when I can play during a week so something at my pace & competitive to my skill is important.

That's why I created this! If only we had all the courses, but beggars be choosers. I'm thankful for those taken the time to make the ones already done!

Just an FYI, In order to become a member, you have to enter q-school and play 6 rounds...you have one month to play them. After that, tournaments are optional and you have to play 4 rounds per week.
