    The unique part of this final round tournament is that each player will need to stream their rounds on Twitch for other WGT players to watch live. You'll be able to watch these streams on the WGT Twitch channel (twitch.tv/wgtgolf) when the players choose to play, between 12/11-12/14.

    Stay tuned and we'll let you know when you can watch!

    Maybe I'm wrong but I could see a situation like F1 qualifying, wait as late as possible for the best conditions.  We can all watch on twitch this includes others in the top 4 presumably,  

    So if you wait you can watch your opponent play, asses conditions (and see how someone else plays the course if a new one is used) and see where it looks easiest to score better.  Maybe set up a practice round or fifty in the same conditions if it's not a new course.  Or you can go first and have the advantage if you finish in a tie and score the same at every hole,  hmmm.

    Maybe this is all nonsense, they will all be allowed practice rounds I'm sure and Fmagnets usually plays early in tournaments, I'm not sure about the others.  Just a thought though.

    I think you're missing the point of this. They're all going to be playing at the same time in a foursome. At least that's what I'm expecting.

    Pretty sure this will not happen. Can you imagine the crashes, game errors, freezes, lockouts etc. that could occur in a 4-ball? I believe we each just give an hour's notice of when we can play, WGT will post the notice on the site, and then we go to it.

    Everyone should at least play at the same time. It would be unfair to get to watch the others play first.

    An hour's notice?   LOL

    That's not much time to draw a crowd!

    Not my concern!! ;-) But all the rounds will be stored for anyone to watch whenever they like.

    Anyway, the upload of the course seems to be late, thus they might want to use any practice time given to them until the 14th, and play on the last day.
