Honors

Honors:

Honors in golf is the privilege of playing first from the teeing area. On the first hole, honors can be determined by the tournament’s draw or by any other way (the lowest Handicap Index, the player who is ready first to tee off first, etc.). Beginning on the second tee, the player with the best score on the preceding hole gets honors on the next tee. In Match Play it is the hole’s winner, in Stroke Play the player with lowest actual score on the hole. If players halved the hole or shoot the same score on the hole they continue to tee off in the same order on the next hole.
