I thought I heard 16, 17, 18 then possibly 17 as a sudden death hole if required. I would only go up to as much as 50p in backing this though

"Players will revisit the iconic back three holes at TPC Sawgrass, which includes the epic par-5 16th, the terrifying island green at 17th, and the hazardous par-4 on 18th. Whoever has the lowest score after those three holes wins.

If there is still a tie after that three-hole format, the players go to sudden death and play the 17th again. If it's still level, they go back to 16, then through 17, and 18 until we have a winner."

Very confusing, I'd have thought after the three-hole play-off you'd just keep playing the same hole for the sudden death, not go 17, 16, 17, 18.

Edit: The above was from Golf Monthly but I've seen other pages saying it slightly differently. According to Today's Golfer:
"Any players tied for 1st after 72 holes of regulation play will return to play the 16th, 17th and 18th.

If any players are still tied at that point, the playoff will revert to sudden-death mode, starting on 17, then 18, then 16, and back to 17 if needed, and so on until there is a winner."

Looks like GM let us down on this one as others are agreeing with that one. So it's 16-17-18, then 17, 18, 16, 17, 18. Clear as mud.

Certainly it's clear for those involved. For others, so what?

It’s a forum, chill.

Some of these posts would be better in "Random Irritations" instead.

Persons posts about play off in recent pro event in the Pro Golf thread. You don’t like it so post a flippant response , someone tells you to chill and you post this.

Bit of a weird thing to get irritated about someone posting about Golf In a Golf thread. Maybe you belong in the irritation thread instead because you’ve had a mare here

Looks like Bolton are revitalising their Ryder Cup bid. Would be good to have it back in England again - even if it is the wrong side of the Pennines
