  Lefties have been winning majors for years now! Phil and Bubba are among the most popular golfers in the world! Why are there no left handed avatars!? Come on WGT!

  There are also cheatin' Aussies using those anchor putters (for a couple more years), but I doubt they'll put those in the game either.

   10% of humans are left handed ? Is that the right answer ?

  if you have either an iphone or an Ipad you can play left handed on the mobile game. As the techs  told Shoe it was easier for them to make a left handed avatar on the mobile game because they only have 1 avatar. Can you imagine the added art work for every avatar on the web game. And with that extra art work being flash based it might cause more problems with the meter.

  Being left handed myself, I would love to see this option. Certainly the designers at WGT have considered this, and are no doubt working to find a solution.

  My short guess? It is extremely complicated and a whole lot of engineering magic must be put into place. It is no doubt not as simple as turning a player around.

  Be patient, and I'd bet you will see it in the not too distant future.

  his was presented 4 years ago, and still no action. How come? Other games have you select a right or left option.  This shoud not be difficult to implement in this wonderful site

  They just have to turn the club face the other way round lol

  

  On a serious note I think lefty's should be catered for and agree with twichipper . . . it shouldn't be difficult :)

  Hello. We are aware that this is a requested feature. The Left Handed option has recently been added to the Mobile App. You can test this out if you have an iPad or iPhone. While I cannot give an exact time on when the feature may make an appearance please note that we are aware that this would be a great addition to the game.
