How it works

Sportfolio Golf is a stock market game based on the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club (May 14–17). 25 golfers are priced by their leaderboard position. As the tournament unfolds, prices shift. Buy low, sell high.

Starting out

• Each player starts with $10,000
• You must invest at least 75% ($7,500) before Round 1 begins
• Starting prices: $1.00 (rank 25) to $3.40 (rank 1), in 10¢ increments by OWGR

Trading windows

• Pre-tournament — from launch until Round 1 begins
• After Round 1 — window opens, then closes before Round 2
• After Round 2 — window opens, then closes before Round 3
• After Round 3 — final window, then closes before Round 4
• No trading during rounds or after Round 4 finishes

Rules

• Maximum 25% of your portfolio value in any single golfer per trading window
• Flat brokerage fee per transaction (set by admin)
• Golfers who miss the cut drop to min($2.00, starting price) — can still be sold but not bought
• Prices based on rank in our 25-golfer leaderboard only, not the full PGA field
• Equal scores = equal leaderboard position = equal price
• Highest portfolio value at end of tournament wins

In-game price scale

After scores are entered, prices recalculate based on leaderboard position:

• Last place = $1.00
• Each position up = previous × 1.05
• Equal scores share the same price
• Example (25 golfers, no ties): 1st ≈ $3.39, 13th ≈ $1.80, 25th = $1.00
