🏆Run your own Ryder Cup
Every great buddies trip is secretly a Ryder Cup: Saturday scramble, Sunday four-ball, Sunday singles, points for every match, a cup at the end. Swilkin runs the whole thing: the teams, the slates, the live match status, and the cup score everyone argues about at dinner.

Make the event & add the rounds
Create a tournament, add a round for each session: the Saturday scramble, Sunday morning four-ball, Sunday singles. Each round keeps its own format; the cup rides on top of all of them.
- 2
Draw the teams
Make the event’s game Match Play or a Points Match, then draw the field into teams in the Field section, balanced by handicap or at random, and rename them or move anyone across. Team cup, under the setup’s add-ons, plays them against each other.

Pair the matches each night
The organizer sets the slate per round: singles or pairs, a match’s golfers on one card. What a match pays is the event’s game, set once. Sitting someone out is just leaving them off the slate.

Watch the cup fill in
Matches close out the real way, 3&2 is 3&2, and a halved match splits its points. The event page leads with the standings, every round’s matches with their results underneath.

Put it on the TV
Cast the event’s big-screen board at the house: the team standings take their turn in the full-screen rotation as the matches land.

And the bets underneath
Nassau with presses in your foursome, a skins pot every round, dollar dots: all riding on the same scorecards, each round netted per person on its own settle screen, with one-tap Venmo (PayPal or Cash App once the person you owe adds a handle).
