Introduction

Pick-A-Pro
Welcome to TOUR Fantasy, presented by SportsLine.com, Inc.

How do you win? By accumulating the most earnings over the course of the season. You earn points based on the money your selected golfer earns during a given tournament, as defined in the "Point Values" section below. Each week you'll have to select one golfer for a tournament. Once selected, you may not use that golfer again.

No Cost
Pick-A-Pro is FREE to play.

For purposes of these Official Rules, "Registered User" means a person who has successfully completed the registration form and has obtained a User Identification ("ID") and associated password ("Password") on one or more of the following Websites: CBS.com, CBSnews.com, CBS SportsLine.com, upn.com, NFL.com, SuperBowl.com and/or pgatour.com.

Golf Team

Selecting Your Team
Each week, you must choose a golfer that will compete in the event for that week. Once selected, a golfer will not be available for your selection again. The pool of golfers may change week to week based on individual golfers participation for a given tournament. Note: Player lists are updated by approximately 7:00 PM ET on Mondays, and then locked until the following Monday. Therefore, the list will not change if certain players are added to a tournament field, or scratched from it after 7:00 PM ET on the Monday before a tournament.

Team Selecting Deadline
A tournament period consists of one or more tournaments each week (see the "Scheduled Tournaments" section below.) Most tournament periods run for four days, usually Thursday through Sunday (some tournaments begin on Wednesday, so check the Scheduled Tournaments each week.) The deadline for picking your team each week is 6:00 AM ET the day of the first tournament that week. If an overseas tournament begins prior to 6:00 AM ET, then the deadline is 1 hour prior to the beginning of the tournament. If you fail to select a golfer, you will be awarded zero points toward your overall total score for each week you do not set a lineup. Although it isn't necessary to participate each week, it is strongly encouraged since missing a week will reduce your chances of winning prizes.
