Guides · Ranks
Play daily, climb to Legend.
Updated · by the 9Daily team, Berlin
Every daily round in 9Daily earns XP, and XP takes you up 10 ranks, from Rookie to Legend. No new rules and no homework: you play the same nine holes as always, and your rank shows how far you have come.
How do you earn XP in 9Daily?
In 9Daily the round on the day’s course earns XP the moment you sign your card. Good golf earns more: every birdie, eagle and hole-in-one adds to it, and so does every day of your streak.
| What | XP |
|---|---|
| Finishing the daily round | 50 |
| Each birdie | 10 |
| Each eagle or better | 40 |
| A hole-in-one | 150 |
| Each day of your streak | 2 a day, up to 60 |
| Your finish on the day, added the next day | up to 100 |
Tip: With a Mulligan, only the better of your two rounds counts for XP, the same as on the leaderboard. XP can’t be bought.
How does the finish bonus work in 9Daily?
Once a day is over everywhere, 9Daily looks at where you finished among everyone who played that course. The top 1 percent get 100 XP, and the bonus gets smaller in steps of ten until it reaches zero at the top half. It needs at least 5 players, and 9Daily shows it as a small surprise the next time you open the app.
What are the ranks in 9Daily?
The 9Daily ranks go from Rookie to Legend, each with its own badge. Every rank has three steps that count down like a handicap: III when you arrive, then II, then I. After Legend I, every 22,500 XP adds a Legend star.
| Rank | From XP |
|---|---|
| Rookie | 0 |
| Divot Digger | 500 |
| Weekend Warrior | 2,000 |
| Bogey Hunter | 5,000 |
| Sandbagger | 10,000 |
| Birdie Machine | 18,000 |
| Eagle Hunter | 27,000 |
| Scratch | 39,000 |
| Tour Pro | 54,000 |
| Legend | 75,000 |
What do you get for a new rank in 9Daily?
Every new 9Daily rank, and every Legend star, brings a free Mulligan: a second try at a day’s round where the better round counts. A new step inside a rank gets a short moment on screen, without a gift.
Tip: Guests climb too. The Mulligans for new ranks wait until you save your progress with an account.
Where do you see ranks in 9Daily?
Your badge sits on your card on the You tab, next to your name on the leaderboard and in your leagues. Tap any badge on the leaderboard to see that player’s rank, streak and best shots. Tap your own rank on the You tab for the next step and every badge on the way to Legend.
Did rounds from before the ranks count in 9Daily?
Yes. When ranks arrived, 9Daily counted every daily round played before, so nobody started at zero.
Quick answers
Do practice rounds earn XP in 9Daily?
No. Only the round on the day’s course earns XP. Practice rounds on past courses never count.
Can you lose XP or a rank in 9Daily?
No. XP only goes up, and a rank you reached stays yours, even after a bad round or a missed day.
How long does it take to reach Legend in 9Daily?
Legend starts at 75,000 XP. Playing every day, that takes most golfers about a year.
