Welcome to PrizePicks, PGA Tour edition. This week, we’ll be taking a look at the third major of the year, the U.S. Open.
How to play PrizePicks golf
If you’re new to PrizePicks in general, checkout the PrizePicks App Review by FTN’s Tyler Loechner. In terms of how it works for PGA, each golfer is given a projected score for each round of the tournament. Projections will vary based on what par is at each given course. You have to parlay at least two picks with at least one over, and one under in order to submit. The payouts are as follows:
- Two-pick Power Play pays 3x (max entry: $400)
- Three-pick Power Play pays 5x (max entry: $200)
- Four-pick Power Play pays 10x (max entry: $100)
There is also a “Flex Play” option, in which you don’t have to get every pick correct, but the payout is slightly less.

PrizePicks PGA picks: Round 2 at the U.S. Open
While a majority of golfers completed the first round of play, there are still a handful who will finish out Friday morning as play was suspended due to darkness. Russell Henley is currently tied at the top with Louis Oosthuizen, who still needs to complete the final two holes of Round 1. For the time being, there are just 10 golfers who shot a sub-70 in the first round. We’re just waiting on three of them to finish out.
