This is a team event as I believe they started last year here. Since there are 50 scoring slots the top 25 finishing pairs will earn points. The winning team will share points for 1st and 2nd. So 175 + 120 = 295 / 2 = 147.5. Both golfers would than earn 148 points. Another example is if there was a 4 team tie for 14th. Since there would be 8 golfers involved they would share scoring slots 27th thru 34th. That would equate to 24+23+22+21+20+19+18+17 = 164 / 8 = 20.5. Each of those 8 golfers would score 21 points. Each golfer is started separately even though they will be paired with a team mate. If someone has golfers that happen to be paired with another golfer on a particular fantasy team each team would be allowed to start just one of them or they could elect to start both. If the team started both if would count as 2 golfers in the starting lineup. An example would be Rich's team. He has Reavie and Glover on his team and they just happened to be paired together. He can start either or both. For subs each golfers is subbed individually as well. It is a little confusing but not extremely confusing. Each golfer is still an individual in this format for subbing and scoring.
My lineup
Jordan Spieth
Tommy Fleetwood
Peter Uihlein
Brandt Snedeker
Brendan Steele
Alternate: Smylie Kaufman
Bench
Andrew Landry
Branden Harkins
Sung Kang
Blayne Barber

? Would it be easier if first place team each player got 175?
