Only the U.S. Open uses a full 18-hole playoff now. For the past 30 years, the R&A has used an aggregate playoff format. If two or more players are tied after the 72nd hole on Monday afternoon, they will play four more holes at St. Andrews and the final tally from that extra game will decide the winner.f players were tied after 72 holes, the playoff used to be a 36-hole slog. That format was last put in play in 1963 and after that, the playoff was reduced to just 18 holes. We're already finishing this 2015 edition of The Open a day late, so fortunately, that 18-hole playoff went out of use in 1986.
