Format
The format for Big Break Indian Wells involves the players trying to take each other's money. Each competitor begins the series with $5,000. Competing in challenges and on the course, the golfers win and lose that money. The object, of course, is to knock everyone else out, taking their money and the championship.
Outcome: David Byrne defeated Kent Eger in the championship match to win Big Break Indian Wells.
