How to Play Scramble Golf Format: Full Guide

Photo by Andy Wang on Unsplash The scramble format is the most beginner-friendly, social, and unambiguously fun way to play golf. It's the default format for charity tournaments, corporate events, and casual group rounds where mixed abilities are in the same cart. If you've been invited to a scramble and aren't sure exactly how it works — or you're looking to organize one — here's everything you need to know. What Is a Scramble? In a scramble (also called a captain's choice or best ball scramble), every player on the team hits a shot from the teeing area. The team then selects the best shot among all four, and everyone hits their next shot from that location. This continues for every shot until the ball is holed. Only the team's best shot is used at each stage — every player contributes, but no one's bad shot permanently damages the team.

US Open Friday Live Stream: How to Watch Round 2 and Cut Day at Shinnecock Hills

Round 2 of the 2026 US Open is here — and so is cut day at Shinnecock Hills. After today's 18 holes, the top 60 players and ties advance to Moving Day on Saturday. Here is how to watch Friday's second round live and what to expect on cut day.

What Channel Is the US Open On Today — Friday June 19

  • USA Network: Early morning ET — Round 2 early coverage
  • NBC: Afternoon ET — Main Round 2 broadcast. Free with antenna
  • Golf Channel: Evening ET — Live From the US Open post-round
  • Peacock: All day — Live streaming, Featured Groups, full coverage

The Cut: Top 60 and Ties

The US Open cuts to the top 60 players and ties — more inclusive than the Masters but tighter than the PGA Championship. With 156 starters, roughly 90 players will miss the cut today. Watch the cut line tracker on USOpen.com or the USGA app throughout Friday afternoon as the afternoon wave comes through Shinnecock. At a par 70 with genuine difficulty on every hole, the cut line will likely fall between two and five over par depending on conditions.

The 36-Hole Leader Context

The player leading after 36 holes at the US Open wins approximately 40-50% of the time. Any player who emerges from Friday as the leader by three or more shots at Shinnecock has a statistically significant advantage heading into the weekend. Anyone five or more back faces a difficult climb on a course that does not yield birdies easily.

Tomorrow: Moving Day on NBC

Saturday continues on NBC in the afternoon with USA Network and Peacock carrying the earlier windows. Moving Day at Shinnecock Hills is when the leaderboard takes its real shape for Sunday.
