Free Masters 2026 Pool Sheet

The Masters is five weeks away (April 10–13), which means it's time to organize the most important competition of the week: your pool.

We built a clean, printable Masters pool sheet with 8 scoring categories, a tiebreaker, and a contenders reference list. Print it, share it, argue about it. That's the point.

How It Works

Each person fills out one sheet before Round 1 on Thursday. Eight categories, 140 possible points:

CategoryPicksPoints
Overall Winner1 player25 pts
Top 5 Finish3 players10 pts each (30 max)
Top 10 Finish5 players5 pts each (25 max)
Best Round Score1 player15 pts
Biggest Collapse1 player who falls apart Sunday10 pts
First-Time Major Winner1 player who's never won a major20 pts
Lowest Round of Tournament1 player10 pts
Will There Be a Playoff?Yes or No5 pts

Tiebreaker: Predict the winning score (e.g., −12). Closest without going over wins ties.

Tips for Running Your Pool

Entry fee: $10–$25 per person keeps it fun without making it weird. Winner takes 70%, runner-up takes 30%.

Collect picks early. Set a deadline of Wednesday night at 11:59 PM ET — no changes after the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday afternoon.

Group chat is mandatory. Half the fun is the trash talk. Create a group text or Discord channel for your pool.

Print extras. Someone will spill beer on theirs. Someone will change their mind. Print a few more than you need.

The Strategy Angle

The "First-Time Major Winner" pick at 20 points is the swing category. It's worth almost as much as the overall winner pick (25 pts) and most people overlook it. Players like Ludvig Åberg, Sahith Theegala, and Collin Morikawa have never won a major — if one of them breaks through, whoever picked them gets a massive advantage.

The "Biggest Collapse" category is pure chaos. It rewards you for correctly predicting who crumbles on Sunday at Augusta — which happens almost every year. Think 2016 Jordan Spieth at the 12th hole.

Good luck. Don't pick Tiger unless you're feeling truly reckless.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you run a Masters pool?

Have everyone fill out a pick sheet before Round 1 on Thursday with categories like overall winner, top-5 finishes, best round, and a tiebreaker prediction. Collect entry fees ($10-25 works well), and pay out 70% to the winner and 30% to runner-up.

What is a Masters pool sheet?

A Masters pool sheet is a printable pick sheet where each person predicts tournament outcomes across multiple categories — like picking the winner, top-5 finishers, best round score, and whether there'll be a playoff. Points are awarded based on correct picks.

How many points should a Masters pool have?

A well-balanced pool sheet has 100-150 total possible points spread across 6-8 categories. Our sheet uses 140 points across 8 categories, with the overall winner worth 25 points and a first-time major winner pick worth 20 points.

When should you fill out your Masters bracket?

Lock in your picks before Round 1 tee times on Thursday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds can reveal who's comfortable with the course conditions, so waiting until Wednesday night gives you the most information.

What's a good tiebreaker for a Masters pool?

Predicting the winning score (like -12) with closest-without-going-over rules is the classic tiebreaker. It rewards golf knowledge and prevents ties in a way that's easy to judge.
