Summary
The contestants compete in certain various challenges to gain points. The player who gets to 100 points first goes straight into the championship match.
Show 1: Maiden Voyage
Upon arrival to the location, the players did a putting challenge where there are three distances players can choose to try to sink a putt. Five points are awarded for the 10 footer, 3 points are awarded for the 7 footer, and 1 point is awarded for the 4 footer.
The next challenge is the glass-breaking challenge where at two players at a time, players face one-on-one and the player who breaks their opponent's glass in the fewest attempts wins 10 points and wins immunity to the next show while the losing player heads to the next stage of the immunity challenge. If they both break the glass in the same number of tries, they both get four points but move to the next stage.
The next stage of the immunity challenge is where players try to get as close to the hole as possible with an iron shot and they can get anywhere between one and four points. They take two attempts and can choose whether or not to do the third attempt. A third attempt missing the green results in losing all the points earned in this challenge.
The two players with the lowest points head to the elimination challenge where they play the 16th hole. Meghan was the first player to get eliminated when Selanee made a birdie.

Show 2: Abandon Ship
The remaining players were divided in teams of four with points leaders Kelly and Zakiya choosing their teammates. Kelly chose Natalia, Marcela, and Gloriana, while Zakiya chose Shannon, Anya, and Allison. The remaining players Christina, Aubrey, and Selanee, were teamed with Yani Tseng who made a guest appearance.
The first challenge required players to play the 11th hole by hitting the fairway then hitting the green from the fairway. If the player misses, she would keep hitting the shot until successful. Each shot the player plays adds a point to their team scores, and the team with the lowest score wins immunity.
Christina's team went first, where they made 11 points when Aubrey missed the green multiple times. Afterwards, Kelly's team topped them with 8 points after all four players hit the fairway and the green on their first attempt, though Gloriana's drive found the trees and then bounced back into the fairway. Zakiya's team went last, and it was over when Anya missed the fairway. With no mathematical chance to catch up to Kelly's team, they won immunity and each of them earned 10 championship points.
The remaining teams (Zakiya's and Christina's) head to the second challenge which is the wall flop challenge where the players get the ball in the hole from behind a wall in the fewest strokes possible. Each team is allowed two mulligans where if they botch a shot, they could get Yani Tseng to re-hit the shot (or putt) for them and that shot would count for them. Each stroke counts as a point, and the team with the lowest points wins immunity.
Christina's team won with 10 points, beating Zakiya's team who had 11 points, largely due to Anya needing to take 4 strokes to get in the hole. Christina's team earned 6 championship points for each team member.
Zakiya, Shannon, Anya, and Allison were headed to the elimination challenge, though Zakiya was given the option to sacrifice all her championship points to buy immunity, which she did choose to do.
The remaining three players played a closest-to-the-hole competition with the player landing the closest being safe. Anya hit the closest, resulting in the other two players heading into elimination.
Shannon and Allison headed into a 2-hole playoff where they play the 9th and 18th holes and the player with the lowest score total is safe. Allison bogeys the first hole with a three-putt while Shannon bogeys the second hole after hitting her drive in the bunker. So they head to sudden death by replaying the 18th hole. Allison won with a par when Shannon hit her drive into the water and made bogey.

The remaining players head to the next stage of the challenge where they play three closest-to-the-hole challenges from different locations with one attempt. The winner wins immunity and 6 points while the player farthest to the hole gets into the elimination challenge. The first location is a long putt, the second is a pitch shot, and the third is a fairway shot.

Christina | 10 | 78 | LOSE |
Natalia | 13' 7 | LOSE | LOSE |
Selanee gets to choose one player to compete with in for the fourth location in which the player closest to the hole is safe from elimination. Selanee picks Christina and would go on to win. So Christina, Natalia, and Zakiya are headed to elimination. Natalia, having the most points out of the players, has the option to sacrifice all her points to buy out of elimination, which she chooses to do so. Christina and Zakiya are headed to elimination, where they get the ball in the hole from three different locations, and the player with the lowest score is safe for the next show while the higher score gets eliminated. The first location is a greenside bunker, the second is from the fairway, and the third is a pitch shot from the rough.
Player | Location 1 | Location 2 | Location 3 | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|
Zakiya | 3 | 3 | 3 | 9 |
Christina | 2 | 3 | 4 | 9 |
With the scores tied, the two players replay the third location, which Christina would win after taking 2 shots to get in the hole.

The two players with the lowest point total, Natalia and Kelly, play one hole for sudden death where the losing player heads straight to the elimination challenge while the other gets to participate in the immunity challenge. Natalia won with a par and Kelly goes directly to elimination.
The immunity challenge involves a guest appearance from Gerina Piller, a former Big Break: Prince Edward Island participant. The first challenge is a tic-tac-tow challenge where players must hit their balls into nets to put their piece on the board and the winner getting 2 challenge points. The matchups are decided based on points standings, with Natalia, the lowest points earner, facing Gerina.

4 | Marcela | Selanee |
The second stage is a target golf challenge where the players try to hit as close as possible to the hole in three different locations. The circles are marked as targets on the green and the player getting within a specific target gets a particular number of points from 1 to 3. The locations are chosen by Gerina, and she also hits the shots herself, and the points she get for her shots gets added to the players' point totals with the exception of Kelly.

Show 7: Marooned
The immunity challenge features one-on-one matches for the players. Each match lasts one hole and the player who shoots a lower score that hole wins immunity and 15 championship points. A tie would result in a playoff from a particular location of the same hole. The matches are designated in such a way that the higher the player's points rankings, the more chances they have to win immunity. The first match features the two highest-ranked players, and the winner wins immunity while the loser goes to play third highest-ranked player and so on. The player with the lowest points, Kelly, is headed directly to the final match, which is the elimination challenge.

Show 8: Constant Bearing, Decreasing Range
The remaining players compete in three stages of the immunity challenge. The first stage is where they hit a wedge shot from 85 yards to the hole. They can choose to hit from 12 feet or take a chance, choosing a number between 1 and 10 and getting a random distance to hit it to. If they hit their shot within the specified distance, they gain 3 points. The process is done twice.

Anya | 6 | 9 |
Marcela | 21 | 30 |
Christina | 20 | 18 |

- Bolded indicates successful attempt
The second stage is where players attempt to hit their ball within a target circle from 4 different locations. Hitting within the target results in 2 points and holing the shot results in 10 points. If they miss, they can choose to take a mulligan and hit the shot again at the cost of 1 point, or they can choose to stop. They can have up to two mulligans.

Selanee | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
The third stage is where players attempt to hit their drives on the fairway. They can choose to hit up to three drives. Getting the drives on the fairway results in getting 1, 2 and 3 points respectively for the three drives in order. Though missing a drive results in points earned for this challenge resetting to zero. If a player hits all three drives in the fairway, they can hit a bonus drive worth five points.
At the end of the day, the three players with the lowest cumulative point total go to the elimination challenge. They play from three different locations on the 6th hole: First on the green, second from the fairway, and third from the tee. The player with the highest aggregate score is eliminated.

Show 10: Daughters of Atlas
The eliminated contestants return to the course for a team competition where they get divided into three teams, with the remaining contestants Marcela, Gloriana, and Selanee as team captains. After the captains finished making the picks, Marcela's team consists of Shannon, Allison, and Kelly (in the order of selection); Gloriana's team consists of Christina, Zakiya, and Aubrey; and Selanee's team consists of Anya, Natalia, and Meghan.
There are 4 different locations and each player on each team chooses 1 of the 4 locations. Each player has 2 attempts to gain points between 1 and 3 depending on the proximity to the hole the shot ends up. For the final location, the points the player earns is doubled.
Team Order | Location 1 | Location 2 | Location 3 | Location 4 | Total Points |

With Gloriana's team winning the challenge, Gloriana gets $2,000 while the other three team members get $1,000 each.
Next, Gloriana and Selanee head for the elimination challenge where they play 5 holes and the player with the highest score after those 5 holes is eliminated. On the first hole, the par 4 17th, they both make par after Gloriana misses the green but hits a putt to a tap-in range, while Selanee hits to 18 feet but leaves her birdie putt short.
On the next hole, the par 3 8th, Selanee lands just short of the green while Gloriana lands in a greenside bunker. Gloriana hits it to 12 feet but misses the par putt. Selanee lags her putt to 6 feet and makes the comebacker for par to take a one-shot lead. Selanee extends the lead on the next hole where her approach lands to 5 feet and she makes the putt, while Gloriana misses the green long and misses the 25 footer from the back of the green.
On the 4th hole (the par 4 10th), Gloriana hits her approach 35 feet short while Selanee hits to 20 feet on the green. Gloriana misses but Selanee makes her putt again and carries a three-shot lead heading to the last hole, the par 5 6th hole.
On the final hole, Selanee almost hits her ball out-of-bounds but luckily hits a tree before going OB. Gloriana hits the fairway with a chance to capitalize, but hits her layup second shot in a bunker. Selanee pitches out back to the fairway and hits her third to 20 feet on the green. Gloriana misses the green from the bunker, thus ending her chances and Selanee wins the elimination challenge with an easy two-putt par.

Show 11: X Marks the Spot
In the final show, the final two contestants Marcela and Selanee play an 18-hole match play with the winner winning the Big Break Atlantis.
On the first hole, Marcela misses the green long but sinks a crucial 9 foot par putt that barely lips in to halve the hole with Selanee who made a 4-foot par putt. They both miss the green in regulation on the 2nd but halve the hole with pars again. On the 3rd hole, Marcela stuffs her approach to 4 feet and makes the birdie putt, winning the hole over Selanee whose 25 footer for birdie stops an inch short of dropping.
They both halve the 4th hole when Marcela misses a 10 footer for the win. But Marcela wins the 5th hole to go 2 up with an 18-foot putt. They again halve the 6th hole with pars.
On the par 4 7th hole, Marcela hits her drive well left, and her approach flies over the green. Selanee is on the fairway with a good chance to capitalize, but chunks her approach shot 60 yards short. She hits her approach to 12 feet and misses the par putt, losing the hole to Marcela who pitches to within tap-in range for a par.
On the 8th hole, Selanee misses the green while Marcela hits to 50 feet on the green. Selanee pitches to 6 feet while Marcela lags her putt to 7 feet. Marcela makes her par putt but Selanee misses, bringing Marcela's lead to 4 up.
On the 9th, Selanee and Marcela hit their approaches to 12 and 20 feet, respectively. Marcela misses her putt, giving Selanee an opportunity to win her first hole, but she misses as well.
On the 10th, Marcela hits her approach short-sided in a bunker. Selanee, with another opportunity to capitalize, hits her approach to 30 feet but three-putts for bogey after running her first putt 6 feet past the hole and missing the comebacker. Meanwhile, Marcela hits her bunker shot to 6 feet and makes the par putt.
On the 11th, Marcela goes to 6 up with a good drive and an approach to 7 feet, while Selanee makes a mess of the hole with a drive in the bunker and a poor chip to 15 feet, making a bogey and losing the hole.
They halve the 12th hole with pars, then on the par-5 13th hole Marcela gives Selanee a slight opening with a poor drive into a bunker. Selanee hits a good drive in the fairway and her second shot lands just short of the green. Marcela lays up but hits her third shot short of the green. Selanee hits a poor chip to 30 feet, resulting in a two-putt par. That turns out to be enough to win her first hole of the day when Marcela also hits a poor chip to 12 feet and misses the par putt, making her first bogey of the day. However, the match ends at the 14th hole when they halve the hole with pars, resulting in Marcela winning the match 5 and 4.
