The Modified Stableford System is a method of golf scoring based on a player's performance on each hole in contrast to their performance in contrast to overall par, the method of scoring normally used in most stroke play.

First used in 1932,[1] and perhaps developed in a rudimentary fashion as early as 1898,[2]the system was invented by Englishman Frank Barney Gordon Stableford as an attempt to reward players who took risks in trying to obtain scores under par.

The most notable recent tournament which used this method of scoring was The International, a PGA Tour event in Castle Rock, Colorado from 1986 to 2006.
