The Mulligan Tour Match Play Championship has become a grueling competition that rewards the winning player with the Tour's richest 1st place paycheck ($60).  The top-16 players on the Mulligan Tour World Ranking are invited to start the tournament.  Round 1 begins on Friday afternoon.  The 8 winning players meet the next day to trim the field down to 4.  Those 4 players continue on Sunday morning (semi-finals) and Sunday afternoon (Finals and 3rd place) to carve up the $160 purse.  The 4 players that tie for 5th get $5 each.

If any players ranked in the top-16 on the World Ranking decline their invitation, then offers are extended down the ranking until a field of 16 players is secured.  Members are asked not to register for the Match Play Championship if they cannot participate all 3 days.

The deadline for registering for the tournament is July 20.  However, the World Rankings formulated after the MT Senior Open tournament (July 18) will be used to seed the players for the 2010 Match Play Championship.

Match play format – Players play against each other 1 on 1.  Low net score for each hole wins the hole.  The player that wins the most holes wins the match.  In fact, the match is finished when 1 player is “up” by more holes than remain.  For example: A player wins “3 and 2” when the player is up by 3 holes after 16.

The higher handicap player shall receive a number of strokes that is the difference between the 2 players handicaps.

If the 18 hole match ends “all square” then the 2 players play a 4-hole match play play-off on the practice putting green.  The lower seeded player has the option of putting first or second.  If still all square, then continue in sudden death format.

Earnings in the Match Play Championship are shown on the Overall Money Standings
