A Simple Major Golf Pool Built for the People You Actually Watch Golf With
EyeOnMajors is a major golf pool designed specifically for friends and family who want to enjoy the four PGA majors together — without betting, fantasy salaries, or complicated rules.
It's a season-long game built around strategy, conversation, and shared viewing. You make thoughtful picks, follow the tournaments more closely, and track a cumulative leaderboard across The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship.
This isn't daily fantasy. It's a classic majors golf pool, modernized.
Why I Built This
I built EyeOnMajors because every year I ran into the same problem: we wanted a major golf pool for friends and family that felt competitive and strategic — but not tied to betting, money, or fantasy mechanics.
Most golf pool sites were either too complex, too gambling-oriented, or clearly designed for mass contests. I wanted something simple, fair, and enjoyable to run privately with people I actually know.
EyeOnMajors is my take on a major golf pool that's simple enough for friends and family, without betting or fantasy mechanics.
How the Major Golf Pool Works
EyeOnMajors is intentionally simple — but the strategy runs deep.
Each season covers all four majors, and players compete on individual majors. They can also compete on a cumulative leaderboard.
Core mechanics:
- Picks are made before each major
- Scoring is based on real tournament results
- Leaderboards carry forward across the season
- No salary caps, no trades, no live lineup management
The result is a majors golf pool that rewards consistency, smart player selection, and understanding how major championships actually play.
Strategy That Makes Majors More Fun to Watch
What makes this major golf pool special is how it mirrors real tournament dynamics.
Players aren't just picking favorites — they're thinking about course difficulty, cutline risk, tournament volatility, and handicap balancing across the pool.
That strategy layer naturally sparks conversation during the majors and gives everyone a reason to stay engaged through Sunday afternoon.
App Showcase: A Major Golf Pool Designed for Groups
Group Leaderboard (Season-Long Majors)
A single leaderboard for each major where you and your friends compete head-to-head. Each tournament is its own competition, while the results also carry forward across the season.
The group leaderboard shows how every player performs with their six picks in a given major. Those results then roll up across The Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship, creating a true season-long major golf pool — not just a one-week contest.
You get fresh excitement and drama every major, plus an ongoing race that unfolds throughout the year.
Group Admin: Invite & Manage Players
Running a major golf pool for friends and family should be easy.
Group admins can:
- Invite players
- Manage group membership
- Keep the pool private and focused
No public contests, no noise — just your group, your majors, your leaderboard.
Individual Player Stats (Year-Over-Year Performance)
Each participant gets a clear view of how they performed in each major throughout the season.
Player stats highlight:
- Tournament-by-tournament results
- Consistency across majors
- Strengths and weaknesses over the year
This turns the major golf pool into a season-long narrative, not just a set of picks.
Handicap Management for Fair Competition
Not every major golf pool includes players with the same level of golf knowledge — and that's the point.
EyeOnMajors includes group-level handicap management, allowing admins to balance the competition so:
- New players stay engaged
- Experienced fans are still challenged
- Friends and family can compete on equal footing
It keeps the pool competitive without changing how the majors are played.
Why These Features Matter in a Major Golf Pool
Together, these features support what a great majors golf pool should be:
- Simple to run
- Strategic to play
- Fun to follow
- Fair for mixed groups
EyeOnMajors was designed to enhance the experience of watching the majors together — not to turn them into a fantasy spreadsheet.
Built for Private Major Golf Pools
EyeOnMajors is ideal for:
- Families running a Masters or majors pool
- Friends who want a season-long competition
- Small groups or offices that don't want betting involved
- Golf fans who care about the majors, not daily fantasy noise
If you've ever said "we should do a golf pool for the majors this year" — this is that idea, done cleanly.
Why It Fits Nora Foundry
EyeOnMajors reflects the same philosophy behind all Nora Foundry projects:
- Focused tools
- Clear rules

A major golf pool should be simple to run, fun to follow, and rewarding to play. EyeOnMajors was built to do exactly that.
