From Don Best site:

In head to head matchups, both golfers MUST tee off in order to
have action. The most completed holes and the lowest score
for either golfer is the winner of the matchup. An example is
listed below:

John -120
Mike +100

If John and Mike both tee off for the tournament in question,
the above matchup is "in action". If both golfers fail to
make the cut to advance to the final rounds of play, the
golfer with the lowest score wins. Example:

John completes 36 holes and has a score of +8
Mike completes 36 holes and has a score of +9

In this case, John wins the matchup since he has a lower score
than Mike does.

If John and Mike complete regulation play, and each have a
score of -3, the matchup would be a tie, and monies refunded,
EXCEPT in the case where John and Mike were tied for 1st place
at the end of regulation play (then sudden death would be
used to determine the winner).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON MATCHUPS

If a wager is taken on a matchup for the overall tournament,
both golfers MUST tee off for action. In the event that one
player or the other is disqualified or withdraws, the other
golfer will be the winner of the matchup.

In the event a matchup is taken on a round by round basis
(1st Round, 2nd Round, 3rd Round, etc) or (1st and 2nd rounds,
or 3rd and 4th rounds), both golfers MUST tee off for action,
and in the event that a wager is taken on the 1st and 2nd (or
the 3rd and 4th rounds) for the same two players, and the
player tees off in the 3rd round, and then withdraws, the
player remaining would be the winner of that matchup in the
3rd round, and there would be NO action on the 4th round wager
(since one of the two players withdrew).

just that somebooks are useing a count back

if two players are tied after 72 holes, it goes to the player who had the best last round,if both players are tie on there last round, then it goes to the player who has best scores in the 3rd round, and if tied goes to 2nd last round

both sportsbook, and intertops have that rule, can anyone tell me if all sportsbook have that rule, which ones still have a push on a 72 hole tied

I got burnt by not knowing this rule last year. I lost a bet w/Sportsbetting.

Intertops and the Starnet books use the count back method.

IGN books (5 dimes, Sportbet, $Plays etc) ties tie. Wsex, Carib, Olympic, SOS do as well.

Some Euro books ties lose, but they quot odds on the tie.

You should check the rules with each out to be sure though.
