25th Anniversary CIRI Golf Classic Calcutta

The Calcutta is a form of auction-pool wagering that is commonly used for golf and other sporting events. At the CIRI Golf Classic, Calcutta participants bid, auction style before the tournament, to “purchase” the team of golfers that they think will win the tournament.  Money raised from the auction goes into a pool.  Half of the pooled cash is given to the charitable donation fund and the other half is set aside for the bidders who purchased the winning golf teams. After the tournament, the owners of the top-placing teams are paid a predetermined percentage of the pool, based upon his or her team’s place. View the official Calcutta rules.
