If two or more players are tied on points at the conclusion of the group phase, sudden death stroke play playoff is played between tied players.

The group winners play the round of sixteen on Saturday morning, and the quarterfinal on Saturday afternoon. The semifinals are played on Sunday morning, and the final and third place playoff are played on Sunday afternoon. In total, the winner will play seven rounds of golf.[5]
