CHESTER, NEW JERSEY – Have you ever thought about running your own PGA Tour fantasy golf league? You might have looked into it and decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. Too much math. Too many spreadsheets. Too much time?
Dan Pitluk had a similar reaction, but rather than walk away he got busy. The New Jersey native created a platform that simplifies the process for league commissioners and participants.
The end result is Majors Challenge, the simple and fun way to conduct and compete in golf pools.
“Our goal was to create a process that was simple to understand and utilize, and one that didn’t require much time,” said Pitluk. “That’s what Majors Challenge is. Commissioners choose the type of league they want to set up, and they invite people to participate. Majors Challenge takes care of the rest.”
The structure of the pools or leagues is limitless. Play every week or skip a few tournaments. Play just the Florida Swing or do a league for major championships only. All the options are there.
Every aspect of managing a league is FREE for league commissioners, who simply pay $1 for each team entered in an event. Scoring is based on the tour players’ actual scores, and the league leaderboard is updated live as the PGA Tour event is being conducted.
Several things set Majors Challenge apart from other pool host sites, one of which is its golf-only offering.
“Our only focus is golf,” said Majors Challenge Director of Business Development Ed Woronicz, a longtime PGA member. “Other sites are pool sites that facilitate contests for various sports. We focus on the sport we know best, so we can deliver the highest quality product to our customers.”
Another difference is that Majors Challenge lineup building does not involve maximum salaries. In fact, there are no salaries at all.
“We divide the field into four groups of players based on world rankings,” said Pitluk. “Participants simply field their team of choice, choosing a specific number of players from each group. It’s that easy.”
Commissioners determine what the prizes will be for their league. They can play for cash, or gifts or pride. And leagues also can play the role of fund-raiser.
For instance, many PGA Club Professionals will conduct leagues for their members, charging an entry fee and then offering merchandise as prizes. Or associations will conduct leagues, setting aside a portion of the entry fee for a charity or fund-raiser. There is an additional setup fee for these types of leagues.
Endless possibilities, flexible facilitation, and simplicity. It is all part of the Majors Challenge game plan.
