Definition: When half the field in a golf tournament starts from the No. 1 tee and the other half begins on the No. 10 tee. The use of split tees gets more players playing more quickly. Split tees are frequently used in tournaments with unusually large fields, or on short days (such as when the start of play is delayed by weather).
