    CPI (Current Playing Index) is calculated using the same method as the World Handicap System, but it is not an official WHS or federation-issued handicap. It's Caddie Live's own index, based on the rounds you choose to count.

    Why the numbers are right

    No arguments in the bar

    An organiser’s biggest fear is a wrong result. Caddie Live does the handicap maths the way the rules intend, so the leaderboard everyone’s watching is the leaderboard you can trust.

    • Course handicap, done right

      Derived from each tee’s course rating and slope — not a flat number off the back of an envelope.

    • The correct allowance per format

      Singles Stableford, better-ball, scramble — each gets its proper playing-handicap allowance automatically.

    • Shots in the right places

      Strokes fall hole-by-hole by stroke index, so net scores and Stableford points are right every time.

    • Transparent tie-breaks

      Consistent countback — last 6, 3, 1 — settles ties the same way every event, no arguments in the bar.

    CPI (Current Playing Index) is calculated using the same method as the World Handicap System, but it is not an official WHS or federation-issued handicap. It's Caddie Live's own index, based on the rounds you choose to count. How the index works

    Frequently asked questions

    No. The Current Playing Index (CPI) is calculated from your scored rounds in Caddie Live. It's great proof of form for societies, trips, and friendly events, but it's not an official handicap index issued by a national golf association.

    Every round deserves a leaderboard!
