In strokeplay, if two or more people are tied there is a count back to see who had the better back nine. In matchplay you play play off holes starting from where the match began until someone wins a hole.

In Golf competitions, ties are typically broken by a sudden death playoff or by comparing scorecards using predetermined tiebreaker criteria, such as the last 9, 6, 3, or 1 holes played. If the tie remains unresolved, additional holes may be added until a winner is determined.

Determine winner if score is level in stroke play golf?

If this is an amateur event, they work on best back nine, so that is net best score on the back nine, then back 6 if a tie still exists, then back 3, back 2 and back 1 until the tie is broken. The rules state that if a tie still exists the competition committee will determine a way of breaking the tie, which sometimes includes drawing lots. In professional competition and some high level amateur competition there is usually playoff holes which are player until one player outscores the other on a single hole.
