THE SHORT ANSWER
What is private masters golf pool?
A private Masters salary-cap pool is a closed fantasy golf contest where invited entrants build five-golfer lineups for the tournament. Pool Duel supplies the slate and live scoring; the commissioner controls the group and any prize arrangement.
ONE EVENT. ONE PRIVATE FIELD.
A familiar DFS contest, run by your commissioner
It is designed for annual Masters groups, golf trips, offices, client communities, and friends who want a polished alternative to spreadsheet-based picks.
Share one link
Invite your group directly. Joining the pool opens the lineup builder for that event.
Draft under the cap
Each entrant chooses five golfers while staying inside the shared salary budget.
Follow it live
Lineups reveal at lock, then points, ownership, and standings update on the live board.
LINEUP FORMAT
Five golfers, one major, one shared budget
The salary cap prevents every roster from loading only tournament favorites. Entrants choose where to spend, where to find value, and how much ownership risk to accept.
LIVE CONTEST
Every birdie can move the pool
The contest is based on fantasy scoring from hole outcomes and round bonuses, so the pool remains active even when the tournament leader has separated from the field.
