How does bunkered Fantasy Golf scoring work?
Points are dished out on a sliding scale for players who finish in the top 20 of counting events on the PGA Tour and European Tour (see below).
Where two or more players finish in a tie, the points are added together and divided equally. For example, if Danny Willett and Matt Fitzpatrick finish tied for second in the British Masters, the points for second place (40pts) and third place (30pts) would be combined and divided between them. Thus, both players would receive 35 points.
