What is designed to test a player's consistency and patience?

The Worst Ball Scramble format is designed specifically to test a player's consistency and patience because it requires participants to play two shots from each location instead of just one. In this format, golfers must play from the worst of the two shots they have hit, which means that players need to be more strategic and patient about their decisions. Since they will be forced to navigate from not just their best shot, it tests their ability to regroup and maintain focus throughout the round, challenging both their skill level and mental fortitude.

Other formats, such as the Best Ball Challenge or Skins Game, emphasize individual performance or competition against others and do not require the same adaptability and resilience in the face of less-than-optimal situations. The scramble format has a focus on team performance, which can lead to different dynamics and does not inherently prioritize an individual's consistency and patience in the same way.
