  This has happened to me several times, most recently today, 12 September. It seems to happen when I started the game one day, saved it, and then came back to finish it the next day. Then when I played a second game today I did get the bonus points.

  +1 zag.

  It was stated by a mod and confirmed here.

  My short version of it is,

  "The first shot of the first game started on the new CDP day (that is, after 12 pm GMT) immediately transfers the CDP bonus XPs to the player (and CC, if a pass is involved)"

  From my experience of nine CDPs, it works 100% for solo strokeplay, even when the games are quit.

  Problems are being reported for A/S and perhaps other MP games. From my text above, I'm guessing that it might be caused by the fact that only one player has "the first shot" and the others don't. I'm not into MP games any more, but if I'm right, the inviting player would get the CDP bonus and the others wouldn't. They'd have to play an extra shot by themselves.

  In my case the problems have all be in regular WGT tournaments for single player.

  I understand your issue being games saved overnight. These aren't "the first game of the new day" and will therefore miss the CDP.

  "Not sure what happens if one starts the game before the "new day" starts and finishes after, though."

  I have always received my points when I start before and finish after. (Guys got to go to the bathroom or get another single malt).

  Been a member since 2008. Always received CDP points when starting before the start time and finishing after! Maybe you're not holding your mouth just right? LOL! My complaint is when I play St Andrews Tournament - Stroke Play I only get 475 XP and my days played clock is stuck on 28 or 29 (can't tell cause the print is so small!) All other Tournament courses pay out the full 880 XP.

  Yes, I had the same problem a few years ago and WGT told me it could not happen.
