Hum!
Actually, I've asked the same question several times of those in wgt customer and have always received the exact same answer, and that it that it will be by invitation only. "Icon is currently the only "Tour Champion" and as I understand it, that distention is only for testing purposes! Well, now almost a year and what a half later, things still remain the same, and It would seem that there is absolutely no criteria and that this elusive invitation if it is ever to come at all is more scare then hens teeth! How much testing does it take to say ok, so and so has an average of - whatever & has played x # of games, so lets do the deed!!!
Guess we all will just have to wait and wonder in abject disparate and dwindling aspirations for this increasingly unlikely gesture from wgt on high... I for one, will continue to wander in the wilderness of the land of wgt in search of this no doubt extinct albatross that seems to have never taken wing if indeed it was ever intended to???
