How to Run a Masters Pool in 5 Minutes

Step 1: Create Your Pool

Sign up at majors.pro as a host. You will pay a one-time $39 platform fee: that covers the entire tournament. No subscriptions, no percentage cut of entry fees. Every dollar your participants pay goes straight into the prize pool.

The golfer field is auto-imported directly from official tournament data, you never need to manually add players or update tiers. As soon as the official field is announced, your pool is ready for picks.

Step 2: Set Your Rules

Configure your pool in a few clicks:

• Entry fee: Set any amount ($10, $25, $50, $100+) or make it free
• Prize split: Choose how winnings are divided (top 3, top 5, winner-take-all)
• Visibility: Public (anyone can find and join) or private (invite link only)
• Pool name: Give it a name your group will recognize
• White-label branding: Add your company logo for corporate pools ($99 add-on)

Step 3: Share Your Link

Every pool gets a unique registration link. Text it to your group chat, email it to the office, or post it in your fantasy league's Slack channel. Participants sign up, pay the entry fee securely, and they are in. No chasing people for Venmo payments, automated payouts mean you never touch the money.

Want to grow your pool? Majors Pro includes a referral program: participants get $10 off when they invite a friend who joins, and the friend gets $10 off too. It is the easiest way to grow your pool year over year.

Step 4: Draft Your Teams

Majors Pro uses a six-tier draft system. Each participant picks one golfer from each tier:

This creates balanced, unique teams where strategy matters. Everyone has stars and longshots, the question is which mix performs best over four rounds at Augusta.

Step 5: Sit Back and Watch

Once The Masters tees off, Majors Pro takes over. Live scoring updates track every shot in real time. The “My Card” live tracker shows you shot-by-shot impact on your team score, you will know instantly when your Tier 3 pick birdies the 12th hole at Amen Corner.

A real-time leaderboard shows every team's standing, and the built-in pool chat lets your group talk trash right inside the app, no separate group text needed. When the tournament ends, winners are paid automatically: direct to their bank account. No manual transfers, no delays.
