Unlike traditional scoring methods, where the aim is to have the lowest score, under Stableford rules, the objective is to have ...
In Modified Stableford, the standard Stableford system is altered to use different point levels. For example, in professional golf at the Barracuda Championship on the PGA Tour, the points system is: plus 8 for an albatross, plus 5 for an eagle, plus 2 for a birdie, 0 points for par, minus 1 for a bogey, and minus 3 for a double bogey or worse.
For example, if four golfers finish tied for fifth place, the fifth through eighth place points are summed and divided by four, with each of the golfers receiving the same number of points. The points system for major championships, the Players, and the signature events (The Sentry, AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer ...

For example, over a two-hole span, a birdie (+2) and a bogey (−1) gain one point, where two pars gain nothing. The scoring operates as follows: [2] [3]
A hole score of three strokes fewer than par (three under par, −3) is known as an albatross (the albatross being one of the largest birds); also called a double eagle in the US, e.g. 2 strokes to complete a par 5 hole. [2] It is an extremely rare score and occurs most commonly on par-fives with a strong drive and a holed approach shot.
