You have to make three separate picks.

1. Winner

2. Dark horse- pick the player outside the World Top 30 who will finish highest

3. Highest ranked player to miss the cut.

All picks in by 9:00 AM EDT tomorrow.

EDIT: Winner is the poster who makes the most money from their picks for winner and dark horse. Let's give a $100,000 bonus for picking a top 30 guy who doesn't make cut.

Do you get points for each pick and what do we win?
You could just add purse winnings of the winner and dark horse to weight that a little. For the highest to miss the cut you could make a sliding scale based on the WGR. Higher on the WGR, the more dollars you get for that player. You would have to make the scale yourself. If your guy makes the cut you get $0 for that. I wouldn't make that worth much anyway. Cap it as being worth $50,000 or so at the most. A little convoluted but it could be done by somebody not me.

Glenn, I honestly read that twice and have no clue what you just said.

For my picks add the real money Justin Rose and Gary Woodland make. Say Rose comes in 4th and makes $800,000 and Woodland comes in 50th and makes $25,000. I have $825,000. That would make it real easy if you left out the part about highest to miss the cut. Highest dollar total wins.
If you want to add the guy missing the cut, limit it to the top 10 and subtract whatever money they make. Or make a sliding scale like I said first. Again, in my example let say Rory makes the cut and come in 20th and makes $200,000. I would then have $625,000. $825,000 for Rose, $25,000 for Woodland and -$200,000 for McIlroy. Highest dollar total wins.

Love the idea. Winner is the poster who makes the most money from their picks for winner and dark horse. Let's give a $100,000 bonus for picking a top 30 guy who doesn't make cut.
