Join our $2,500 Open Contest

Special Edition | July 16, 2025 | Read Online

This week — for the final time this year — we are hosting a $2,500 major championship fantasy contest where six entrants place and first prize is $1,500.

The rules are pretty straightforward. You pick eight players from eight tiers, and the worst score gets dropped. Your best seven guys against everyone else’s best seven.

Example: Here’s my team. You don’t want to copy it. I’ve finished T312, T286 and T101 in the first three editions so far this year.

Here are the payouts for this week’s contest.

1st: $1,500
2nd: $500
3rd: $250
4th: $150
5th: $100
Last: $50

It’s also free to enter with one catch: You have to be a Normal Club member.

Normal Club membership is $82 for the entire year. So yeah, you could buy 12 Fleetwood Frappes at The Open this week with your $82.

Or you could help us sustain our business by joining the Normal Club and play for $2,500 in prizes. In other words, you could 18x your $82 investment by Sunday evening.

In addition to getting free access to our major fantasy contests (total purse this year was $11,500!, and you will be eligible for them next year as well), you also receive the following …

1. All content during major championship weeks (our best stuff).

2. First dibs on new merchandise.

3. My monthly thoughts on entrepreneurship and the direction of our company. We view you as a sort of (non-voting) shareholder.

4. The satisfaction of helping Normal Sport thrive as a business.

You will receive a link to the contest — which is hosted by Splash Sports — via email as soon as you become a Normal Club member.

If you have any other questions, you can view our major contest page here or just email me and I will respond. One thing to note is that the contest is only available to U.S. residents (excluding those who live in Washington and Nevada).

Good luck, and let’s have an Open week!
