  Four 18 hole rounds on same course. Sixteen entrants similar to Bracket Tournaments, but the lowest 8 scores advance to second round, lowest 4 scores advance to the third round and the 2 lowest scores are in the final round.

  Tie Breakers are lowest total for the 4 rounds, the most eagles made, most birdies made, most pars made, fewest double bogies or more and then fewest bogies.

  What would be wrong with the standard Tour format: Everybody plays the first two rounds, then a cutline at 50% plus ties. Those who make the cut play the last two.

  Your first tiebreaker isn't a tiebreaker. Of course, lowest total for four rounds wins. If there's a tie, nothing wrong with your other suggestions.

  I agree there is nothing wrong with the standard Tour format.

  I should have clarified better for the tie breakers. After rereading my post I was thinking of how the current bracket tournaments are done with tie breakers if two opponents have the same scores on a round.

  @DBdaDC 
  
  In the first place, why is a cut required? I must be missing something here because I don't see the attraction of this format. 
  
  By the way, as noted above, this isn't a tiebreaker: "lowest total for the 4 rounds." Typically, we just call that player the winner. :-)

  I'm not saying a cut is required. I am just going off a format like the 16 player bracket with eliminates half the players each round.
