The Grass League is the world’s first High Stakes Par 3 Golf league, uniquely blending both professional and amateur events in team-based formats. Grass League events are set on lighted par 3 courses with the flagship host site located in Tempe, AZ. Through a League qualifier and draft, we encourage broad participation and the discovery of emerging talents.
With teams divided by regional markets, the League drives a sense of rivalry and community involvement. This innovative approach to team ownership and competitive play marks an exhilarating new chapter in the world of golf.
Amateurs are not permitted to directly earn money from their performance in golf tournaments. Ownership of all teams lies with third parties, distinct from the golfers listed on each team’s roster. Prize money from events is awarded to the team’s owners, not the golfers themselves. However, amateurs may generate income through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, securing partnerships and sponsorships related to their golfing career.
Professional players differ from amateurs in that they are eligible to receive direct financial benefits based on their performance in Grass League events. Team owners and professional golfers may negotiate compensation terms and conditions independently.
Anyone over the age of 17 that is willing and able to play in an event. We are looking for the best Par-3 golfers in the world, regardless of their golf status.
To participate in events, golfers must (1) be rostered by a Franchise or (2) qualify for The Grass League Draft and get drafted onto a franchise roster.
Grass League events are broken down by season, and a season takes place over a calendar year. There will be 3 events in the 2025 season. Season details can be found under events on the Grass League website.
Each franchise can field a set number of 2-player teams per event, competing in a 2-person scramble format. Event outcomes are determined by either:
- Team Performance: Standings based on teams playing in the event, with a single team winning the event.
- Franchise Performance: Standings based on Franchises, which is the aggregate scores of all the franchise’s teams, with a single franchise winning the event.
Franchise: A regionally based entity, similar to those in other professional sports leagues, that owns the rights to roster players and field them in all Grass League events.
Team: A duo of rostered players from a franchise who compete together in events, representing the franchise.
