  Hey Icon,

  1. Does it mean that the top ten will get the $100 gift card plus ties in the qualifier also, or winner of the qualifier only?

  2. Also, I'm currently tied for 1st sorta... but, actually I'm in 4th...are all ties included in the top 3 match or solely the top 3 and no ties?

  thanks,

  Tee

  The top 100 make the cut each month and get to play in a championship round.  Your 54 will absolutely make the cut and you will be able to play in the championship round which will start first of march.  The top 10 winners of the championship round all get the 100.00 giftcard

  The top 3 of each of the 3 months championship round then get to be one of the 9 playing for a 1000.00 giftcard.

  This was the round for fall tour championship

  Run, thanks for the response but I think you missed the point of the question which was, do the ties get into the last top 3 round and, I won the last qualifier and recieved a $100 gift card.

  Hang on one sec.

  Did you receive $100 gift card for winning the qualifier to get into the monthly championship 2 round tournament ? If that is the case I must have missed something in the rules of this tournament as no where does it state the winner of the qualifier receives anything it only states championship round 

  Last time I checked only the top 10 players in each monthly championship 2 round tournament wins A $100 gift card. (ties in event of ties counted back on scorecard)

  So i am kinda confused here. 

  And the only way you can progress to the finial the big one $1000 gift card tournament is if you finish in the top 3 in each monthly championship 2 round tournament not the top 3 placing in the qualifier to make the champ round

  You won Jan winter tour qualifier and finished 22nd i think it was in champ round meaning you have not made the finial as you need to finish top 3 in the champ round.

  WGT Winter Tour – Jan Qualifier

  Tournament Rules

  OAKMONT CC

  Play in the WGT Winter Tour, brought to you by SkyCaddie! This free tournament series runs from Jan thru Mar, starting with the January Qualifier tournament of 18 holes strokeplay on Oakmont. Each month, 5 lucky players selected at random in a Sweepstakes drawing will get a dozen NIKE virtual golfs balls. Additionally, 1 Sweepstakes winner will receive a new Wi-Fi enabled SkyCaddie SGXw golf course mapping device. The Top 100 scores in the January Qualifier will play in the January Championship for cash prizes. See tournament rules for details.

  
  

  
  

  Unless Im reading the rules incorrectly, it seems WGT  incorrectly awarded the top 10 qualifiers and not the top 10 of championship round.   I also recieved the 100.00 card, but thought it was because of finishing 9th in championship rounds and not 4th in qualifier.

  
  

  
  

  I just fired off an email to Sam at member services giving heads up of situation and waiting on  a clarification. I could just be misunderstanding the rules.
  

  
  

  
  

  Being the weekend,  hopefully will hear back when they get to the email next week.
