  But none of this answers the question of the OP.  I still believe he has a shortcut to the forum, not the launcher.

   

  And Scott may be correct.  My launcher download is from when the PCEA first came out.  PLAY takes me to the download page.

   

  EDIT:  I wanted to say on his PC as to the above, but it has never been mentioned what device is being used.  But on my phone, nor Fire tablet or PC(1 with 7, 1 with 10) does the launcher icon take me to the forum.

  We can't, unless he gives some more information.

  We're only GUESSING that he's on a PC (like me). We cannot analyze his shortcut, etc. We don't know if he has a PLAY NOW button and what it does..

  Until he returns, I won't lose myself deeper in guesswork.

  Might be interesting, though, how to bring your "antique" launcher to the presence(?)

  When I install the game using my old installer file (April 2020), clicking the PLAY NOW button displays the download game page. If I then install the game again, without uninstalling the old version, using a new download, the game opens when clicking the PLAY NOW button.

  10/13/2019

  2/13/2020

  9/13/2020   these are my download dates, the one that I run was installed on 9/13/2019

  All are Launcher.Msi files.

  If you are not using Steam, you should. First, DLC bundles are available trough Steam and you will have no problem starting the game with it. Don't play on phone, latency is usually very bad. Tablet ok. PC the best.

  The post that WGTweb mentioned about the PLAY NOW button opening the app, is from June 2021, so I guess any installer used that is older than that may not produce the expected result from PLAY NOW.

  Still don't understand though how the OP can sign into the game and end up here.

  I don't think that is exactly how it is happening, there is something not being told.  I am the only one on this computer so I never sign out.  If my launcher icon wasn't to the Msi file but instead was a shortcut to here(just like the one I also have that is a shortcut to  W G T . c o m,  I would instead open up the forum.  But we don't know, as alosso stated we don't have all(or correct) information.

  Unresponsive - World Golf Tour (wgt.com) click on this and see where you end up, this is copied from a desktop shortcut I created.  

   

  EDIT.. It would not be an easy task to do.  I am not going to mess up this computer to change the Launcher Icon to this forum.  I doubt the OP has the ability(but then again, I have been wrong before). The Launcher Icon is within the program somewhere, not within a normal Icon file.  I did not have to activate the above link, it came directly from the icon on my desktop I created as a copy of the target.

  Scott, that is exactly what was causing the PLAY NOW button not to work for me.  

  I had downloaded 2 WGTLauncher.msi files.  One was dated 11/7/2019 and one was dated 11/10/2020.  Neither of those would allow the PLAY NOW button to launch the app - they simply opened a pop-up window to download the launcher.

  I downloaded the Launcher file again, and did as you did (installed the game again without uninstalling the old version first).  Now my PLAY NOW button works. 

  After installing, the first time you click PLAY NOW, you get the following dialog box:

  

  If you click the check box and then click the Open LauncherWinForms button, it will open the WGT Launcher and start the game.  This also works if you click the PLAY NOW button on a CC tournament.

  All of this using Windows 10 and the latest version of Chrome.

  Thanks, Scott.

  Leftyfromwesty67:

  … it brings me directly to this page and I’m unable to get out of it r bypass …

  Guess the OP managed to “bypass” themselves right past the game and this site altogether!!! 😂
  The don’t seem to be playing at all and haven’t bothered to return to their own post to find a solution!!! 😖
