Additional Details
For 2026, a single AMA Putt18 Mat tournament will be played between Sunday, March 15 (12:01am US central time) through Saturday, March 21 (11:59pm central US time).
All competitors will stream their play live in the AMA Events Facebook Group so if you are an AMA member be sure to join that group to see some of the videos of people playing on the mat. We’ll be sharing videos on the rules in advance for those unfamiliar with playing on the mat.
Format: Each competitor will play 4 rounds (72 holes) in succession at a time they announced in advance in the Facebook group. See full rules for order of play, leaving balls in place for each set of 3 holes, and reviewing scores.
Rules: We’ll be utilizing the rules from World Pro League from Series 23 with a few differences.
Players will be allowed to play rounds with a set of 3 golf balls if they opt not to use the Putt18 branded balls that come with the mat. The 3 balls must be identical in brand, year, and model. Players will need to clearly show that the balls conform to the camera before they stream their rounds if they opt to use balls other than the Putt18 branded balls.
No time limit for players completing their 4 rounds.
There will be a single-line ball per round of 18 holes. See full rules for line balls.
