Agreed it should be no action. My local graded it loss, and his pph rules clearly state it is a loss. I was shocked, to me it's like grading an over a loss in a baseball rainout.
The true test to me is, if I had bet him to miss the cut would it have been graded a win? I'm sure no.
Anyway thanks guys for the feedback.

in golf futures "to win" that don't start always graded as a loss but top 5-10-20-40 are always no action. but it's a local so....his rules, i guess
this stuff happens all the time, especially the week before a major or an important tournament...very surprised he went straight L's across the board. i use heritage, fanduel, bovada, and betMGM for golf and all of them have the exact same rule except for how they grade ties (like if you have 1st round leader and 3 guys had the same score). bizarre to wipe the board with L's, sorry man
Loving them! Hard to get used to the strong loft, pulling 1 less club still feels wrong a lot of the time and I end up flying the green. I sweet spot them way more often than I did my old Callaway's though, and when I don't they are definitely more forgiving. Shanked an 8 iron the other day and it still got up on the green; ball flight was ugly but it still squirted straight.
nice good to hear
this shit happens to me all the time when i see a guy just catching form (especially jan/feb) and then i place a long-odds future bet for masters or british or pga, etc. = obviously a lot rarer for a guy to pull out the day before a tournament but that's also why i never place future bets until Thu morning when it's the week before a big event. If a player doesn't think the course will help prep him for the big event next week they just pull out unless they're sponsored for the tourney.
with covid hitting the last 6-7 majors i had maybe 4 dudes (scheffler, scott, hideki for sure) not start and graded a loss and it just happened again with Rahm to medal in Tokyo. It's the risk you take when you want to hit great odds you don't think will last
I've never seen a book refund a non-starter for a bet to win the tournament, so that's perfectly normal. What's not normal is those bets taken either h2h or to finish inside a specific number, those are always refunded.
btw for golf bettors FanDuel just started doing a "To Win" market without the top 5 lowest odds. For example JT was 28/1 against full field but still a juicy 21/1 to win without DJ, Rahm, Xman, Morikawa, and Spieth. I expect they will keep that prop going throughout the playoffs
