How Fairway Challenges Work

Play golf at your course on the challenge date using your official handicap.

Choose a live challenge and enter before the deadline. In some cases, the same round can be used across multiple challenges.

Upload your score after your round. Your result must match your official handicap record and be capable of verification.

Challenges use handicap-adjusted Stableford scoring unless stated otherwise. Leaderboards are based on verified net performance. If players tie, prize money for that position is split equally.

Each challenge shows its prize pool and payout structure. Payment processing fees are deducted first. Fairway takes its platform fee after prize distribution.

Scores are reviewed before results are finalized. Winners are normally confirmed within 72 hours after the challenge closes, and prizes are then paid out.

All submitted scores must be genuine, accurate, and verifiable. Fairway may request additional evidence or disqualify entries that do not meet the rules.
