    We’re excited to share an important update about the current and future of World Golf Tour. As of January 1, 2025, WGT is now an independently owned company, backed by a video game-focused, growth-oriented firm, and no longer part of Topgolf – marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our team, our players and our business.

    WGT has brought you the most realistic golf game experience for more than 15 years, and we will continue to provide the most realistic, best-in-class golf game for years to come. This acquisition includes our existing team and will allow us to focus on WGT. Throughout this transition, we’re working to ensure an uninterrupted experience for everyone.

    You will notice some changes to our branding (think: new logo, removal of Topgolf branding) in the future, including the removal of "Topgolf Mode" from the game at the end of this month.

    This next evolution of WGT brings us back to our roots and has us looking ahead to the future with incredible support and new opportunities for growth and innovation. 

    From all of us at WGT, thank you for being part of this community, for growing the game to where it is today and for joining us in this next era. There is much more to come, and we can’t wait to show you what’s ahead!

    -Team WGT

    Does this video game-focused, growth-oriented firm, has a name?

    they have a bit of sensitivity about being named and we're respecting that. It may come out in the future but for the time being we're not naming them. The company does have a few games already under their portfolio but ultimately trust us and are pretty hands off

    🤨

    Then shouldn’t you have kept this news under wraps as well? Hope you're not in trouble, Nico. LOL J/K

    Again, this is GREAT NEWS!

    Thanks for the Heads-up, Nico. does this mean a Refund of all the Coins spent on 'TopGolf' Apparel, assuming the Said Apparel is being removed from the Game? Just MHO, but those spent Coins now seem a little Wasted. 

    Appreciate your Work here, Nico. Thanks for the reply.

    Kacey.

    I'm thinking it must be Perfect Parallel, they had a golf game but never did much with it

    we're not removing those items. The topgolf mode is being removed, but the apparel as of now is not. We also wouldn't get rid of an entire section of stat boosted apparel. We would just change the name if anything away from topgolf!
