Charity tournament

Charity golf tournament software

Give your fundraiser a real event page — registration, teams, tee times, sponsors and a live leaderboard players and supporters can follow — without a week of spreadsheets.

Set up your tournament

What a charity tournament needs

  • An event page to share

    Banner, description, schedule and the field on one public page — send the link, no account needed to read it.

  • Registration

    Players or teams sign up on the event page; a waiting list fills spots in order.

  • Scramble and more

    Scramble, best ball, shamble, stroke play — set the format per round with the team handicap allowance.

  • Sponsors on the page

    Show your sponsors' logos and links on the event page.

  • Live leaderboard

    Teams score on a phone from a QR code; the leaderboard is live for the awards.

  • An optional Calcutta

    Auction the teams for the cause — live, on paper or online — with the payouts worked out for you.

How to run a charity golf tournament

  1. Create the event page

    Name, date, course, a banner and a description of the cause — Ask Tangent will write a first draft.

  2. Open registration

    Share the link; players and teams sign up, with a waiting list when you fill.

  3. Add your sponsors

    Logos and links on the event page for everyone who backs the day.

  4. Set the format and teams

    A scramble or best ball, the teams and the tee times or shotgun starts.

  5. Score and celebrate

    Every team scores on a phone; the leaderboard is ready for the awards dinner.

More of the day on the course, less in the spreadsheet

Charity tournaments are usually run by volunteers. Tangent keeps the whole day in one place — the page you share, the teams, the scoring and the results — so the organizers spend the day with the players, not with paper scorecards.
