Claim 12:
13. A system for updating a golf tournament simulation, the system comprising:
an update processor programmed to execute update operations with respect to a golf tournament simulation following start of actual play in the golf;
a memory storing instructions;
a processing unit that executes the instructions to perform the programmed operations of the update processor, the operations comprising:
updating each tournament simulation of the golf tournament in real time by:
substituting actual hole scores for predicted hole scores as players complete holes;
updating predicted round scores, accounting for the substituted actual holes scores;
generating updated predicted tournament scores for all competing players from the updated predicted round scores for all tournament rounds for all competing players;
establishing an updated cutline from the updated predicted round scores for pre-cut rounds;
including in the updated predicted tournament scores predicted round scores for post-cut rounds to scores of players updated to make cut and excluding predicted round scores for post-cut rounds to scores of plays updated to not make cut; and
updating predicted outcomes; and

updating one or more predicted outcome probabilities based on the collective updated predicted outcomes.
