What Is One & Done? The Most Addictive Way to Watch PGA Tour Golf
Dustin Berg • 8/11/2025
The quick pitch
One & Done is the simplest fantasy golf format with the most drama. For each tournament, you pick one golfer. You’ll get that golfer’s official earnings (or points) as your score—and you can’t use that golfer again the rest of the season. Every pick matters. No spreadsheets. No roster headaches. Maximum sweat.
How One & Done works
- One pick per event. Choose a single golfer before the lock time.
- No repeats. Use a golfer once and they’re burned for the season.
- Pickr offers recycled golfers to incentivize choosing the winning player. This is an optional format of One & Done.
- Score by earnings. Most leagues use official PGA Tour earnings
- League Winner. Highest cumulative score across your chosen schedule takes the crown.
Why it’s so fun
- High-stakes simplicity: one decision a week—huge impact.
- Strategy > volume: timing a star for the right course beats grinding lineups.
- Every event matters: from majors to under-the-radar weeks, there’s always an edge.
- Great for groups: friendly trash talk, clean standings, no admin chaos.
A week in One & Done (what it feels like)
- Scan the field and course fit.
- Make your pick before lock—done in under a minute.
- Watch the event with extra juice. Every birdie moves your season total.
- Check standings as results finalize in Pickr.
Strategy at a glance
- Course fit vs. form: a good course fit often beats a hot streak.
- Save your bullets: don’t burn every elite at once—majors and playoffs loom.
