PGA National Invitational 2027 · rules

Handicap index cap
Indexes are capped at 18. With an odd number of capped players, the player closest to the cap is treated as capped.
Handicap allowance
Wed arrival 80% · Thu 80% · Fri 80% · Sat 75%
Playing handicap
PH = course handicap × allowance, rounded once — exactly as Squabbit scores it.
Strokes in match play
Never more than 1 stroke on a hole.
Dots
Strokes are counted from the LOW playing handicap in your group: the low man plays off scratch, everyone else gets the difference on the hardest holes (stroke index).
High-low partner penalty
None this year.
Ryder Cup points
Every match is worth Front / Back / Overall: 1 for a win, 0½ for a tie. Sat points count ×2.
2-man weekend
Every hole won in your match is 1 point for your pair, a halved hole 0½. Points add up over all three days.
Saturday singles
Capped players play capped players; partners stay together, so their partners play each other.
Draft
Captains draft an even number of capped players per side.
Stroke play maximum
Net double bogey.
Skins
Net $500 and gross $500 pools every day, paid separately. A skin is the sole low score on a hole. A tie is no skin, and nothing carries to the next hole. The day's pool is split evenly across the skins won. A pool rolls to the next day only if nobody won a skin. An unpaid pool on the last day goes to the prize pool.
Low best-ball net
$600 every day to the low 2-man best-ball net score.
