The simplest form of a play off is a sudden death playoff, whoever has the highest score on a hole is eliminated, if the scores are tied the playoff continues until someone is eliminated. The tournament committee is responsible for which hole they choose, it can be the easiest hole or it can be the hardest hole, but usually it is the 18th. In the US Open it is an 18 hole playoff, in the Open it is a 4 hole sudden death playoff.
