What does "scrap it out " mean in this context?

I could not find the meaning of "scrap out" in online dictionaries.

I found the above-mentioned phrase in the following sentence:

In this golf game, you are dropped into the course with six other players and are asked to scrap it out for victory.


Solution 1:

The sense is to “fight for” victory.

Close to the sense suggested by Green a Dictionary of Slang

Scrap:

to fight:

1935 [US] N. Algren ‘Thundermug’ Texas Stories (1995) 72:

  • Sometimes I have to scrap some perty tough customers.

You can find other usage examples here.

Solution 2:

Scrap can also refer to a fight, and is often used to describe minor quarrels or sports competitions that get really heated. So saying they have to "scrap it out" means they have to fight competitively for victory, essentially.

Solution 3:

"Scrap" is slang for "fight". If someone is "scrappy", it means they can and are willing to fight. It has connotations of self-reliance, resourcefulness, and resilience.

It sounds like it's being used figuratively here - that the six players play until one of them is victorious, with no other elimination prior to one of them winning. The self-reliant/resourceful/resilient connotation indicates that the competition will require a player to be all of those things in order to win.

Solution 4:

To be complete, we would also have to explain the out adverb, and the for preposition, in the phrasal verb to scrap it out for (something).

Out means

c. To a finish or conclusion: Play the game out
American Heritage

And for indicates the aim, of course.

So the sentence:

In this golf game, you are dropped into the course with six other players and are asked to scrap it out for victory.

means that they would have to fight to the end, so that one of them could achieve victory.
