Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about contracts, the salary cap, auctions and how a season plays out.

What is Franchise League Golf?

Franchise League Golf is a contract-based keeper league where you manage a roster of players across multi-year contracts, free agents and restricted free agents. It emphasizes strategy, player contracts and a unique pre-season auction system. You'll play head-to-head matchups against other league members throughout the PGA Tour, culminating in a round-robin playoff to determine the champion.

How does the salary cap work?

Every team operates under a fixed salary cap, and each player counts against it based on their contract value. You balance star talent against cap room when you sign, extend or trade players — going over the cap simply isn't allowed, so smart cap management is core to building a contender.

How do player contracts and extensions work?

Players sign three-year contracts at an annual salary determined by your preseason auction. As a deal nears its final year you can extend the player to keep them, let them reach free agency, or trade them away — every choice shapes your long-term cap flexibility.

What is the pre-season auction?

Before each season, managers compete in a live auction for available free agents and rookies. You allocate your free-agent budget across the players you want most, bidding against other managers — all while keeping your roster under the cap.

What happens during the regular season?

Each week you set your lineup and play head-to-head against your league mates. Withdrawal Protection, trades and the waiver wire keep you actively managing all season.

How are playoffs determined?

The top teams advance into a round-robin playoff so the best team rises instead of being knocked out on a single bad beat.
