Format of the 2023 Grant Thornton Invitational

The inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational will be played in three formats over the next three days. The opening round will be played in a scramble format, followed by foursomes and a modified four-ball on the second and the third day respectively.

Here's a look at all three formats 2023 Grant Thornton Invitational:

1) Scramble format

Each player will play a tee shot, but the team will pick the ball to be used for the next stroke. Both players will then hit the shot from the picked spot, and the same process will continue until the ball is holed.

2) Foursome (Alternate Shot) format

This is the most common format in the three-day events and is often used in the Ryder Cup as well as the Solheim Cup. Both players from the squad play the hole, with one teeing off from the odd-numbered hole and the other from the event-numbered.

3) Modified Four-Ball Format

The final round will be played in the modified four-ball format, where few changes have been made to the traditional four-ball format.

In this format, both players will tee off from the hole but will switch the balls in the next shot and will continue until the ball is holed. The lower score of the two will be counted as the team's score.
