In the highly unlikely scenario of the PGA season being canceled altogether, all prizes won prior to the cancellation will be distributed to the winners.

Late Lineups

E-mail submission is sometimes necessary if the participant forgets their password or cannot access the Internet and must submit their lineup via a proxy. In this case, the e-mail must have a timestamp prior to the deadline or it will not be accepted. Any lineup received via e-mail will be entered in the system by the commissioner as soon possible. Participants should submit their lineup via e-mail to Commissioner@united.ProTourFantasyGolf.com.
