Just Pick 8 players - The event kicks of in 2 weeks.
The top 5 of your players will score - the winner is the player with the lowest 72 hole (times 5 (as 5 players are recorded)) ) total
an example...:
If one of your players misses the cut - you end up with his 36 hole total times by 4 (so if he is 14 over par - you end up with a 56 over par total for him)
if your other 4 best players score 10 under twice, 8 under and level par - your score equals -28 +56 = 28 over par.
You have 3 throw away players that will not be used to score ... You ideally want to get 5 players at least to make the cut or the punishment is pretty harsh (as it has to be as they are not going to compete in the final 36 holes)
its very simple - just pick 8 players.
I will do the maths.
Good luck. Even if you are not a huge golf fan - Have a go. Its just picking players.. pick your fav 8.
If there is a tie for the winner then - the 6th and /or7th and/or 8th player will be taken into account to determine the winner..
edit there could be a problem with my punishment: as it may not work out IF the cut ine is under par or level -
so in that case every score under par or level that misses the cut = a minimum of 5 over (so 20 over minimum ) - examples:
if the cut line is 4 under and you pick a player at 3 under its +5, 2 under would be +6,
if the cut line is 2 under and you pick a player at 1 under. its, +5 , level would then be +6 , +1 would be +7 etc

Well, I know next to nothing about Golf, but I know who Tiger Woods is and I know who Rory McIlroy is, so they are both in. Yes, I know Tiger Woods hasn't been in form for a while, but you know what hey say, form is temporary, class is permanent.

Here are mine in no particular order:
Phil Mickelson Fred Couples Bubba Watson Jordan Spieth Rory McIlroy Adam Scott Matt Kuchar Louis Oosthuizen
Can we change them at anytime up until the first round tees off?
I used to run an office pool similar to this.
Here are the rules from that
Each entrant will pick a field of 10 golfers.
If your golfer finishes first he will be assigned I point, if he finishes 2nd he will be assigned 2 points and so on.
Lowest cumulative score wins.
Golfers that do not make the cut will be assigned a value of 5 points above the cut. i.e. if 40 golfers make the cut, any golfer missing the cut will be assigned a value of 45.
As a tiebreaker, select the final score of the eventual championship

I wasn't picking on your scoring system, was just giving some feedback on the way I did mine. Yours is just as good if not better, as far as being the judge of anyone cheating, when a post is edited, you can see when it has been edited, therefore any edits after the first player tee's off, usually around 7:30 AM and first round begins on April 6, would be scrutinized

And, as I understand it, 3 of your players can do shite and it doesn't matter.

ok then we will use that official time - the masters is annoying as we do not get full coverage from the off( like the open)
but changes can be made before the first tee off is hit.. Their could e injuries etc , and late drop outs etc.

Not to mention everyone on the list is only invited, doesn't mean they accepted. One year I had a guy put Byron Nelson in not realizeing he was over 80 years old and hadn't played in 20 years! lol
