The format
The Heroes Classic will be contested in teams of three players over the 1st, 2nd and 9th holes at Royal Birkdale.
A Texas Scramble format will be used with a scoring incentive to ensure each participant gets to hit as many shots as possible, creating team unity and enabling friendly competition.
Each hole is scored using the following Stableford system:
• Birdie – 3 points
• Par – 2 points
• Bogey – 1 point
• Double Bogey or worse – 0 points
If a team scores a birdie on a hole and each player has contributed one of the shots used to complete the hole, the team receives 1 bonus Stableford point for that hole. This can be awarded on multiple holes.
In the event of a tie, teams will compete in a sudden-death putt-off on the 9th green.
