CC Event #112 runs 11/14-11/15 with multiple 4-hour Clashes, so be sure to play as many games as you can for your club and keep your eyes on the leaderboard.

CC Events allow WGT Country Clubs to compete against each other for bragging rights and special in-game rewards. The club that earns the most total points from their Clashes wins!

Here’s how it works: Each event is made up of Club Clashes which last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you’ll be matched with a similar skill level club. Start playing! A timer will keep track of how much play is left in that Clash. Club members from both sides can play as many rounds as they’d like during that time using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points.

The second edition of the community-organized "WGT Ryder Cup" competition begins today!

Thanks to birchi for providing all the info -- be sure to tune in to the live streamed matches to follow all the action...

Tune in to watch 30 of WGT's top virtual golf players compete against each other in 38 matches over the span of five weeks. Slightly differing from the real world Ryder Cup format, Team Europe will face off against Team Rest of the World. Participants include the two most recent winners of both WGT marquee events - the Virtual U.S. Open and the Virtual U.S. Amateur Championship - alongside a group of WGT's most elite players.

How to watch: Every Sunday at 2pm EST/8pm CET, starting November 10th, a top matchup will be hosted on the Twitch channel with a rotating cast of commentators discussing the match. Most of the remaining games will be streamed on the same channel as well. You can find links, dates and time in the forum thread under the ‘livestreams’ section of the spreadsheet or on the Twitch channel.

Win great prizes: Join the live streams for a chance to win great prizes from the organizers. There will be opportunities to bet on the outcome of matches, number of birdies made, total number of putts as well as other bets. Winners will receive a total sum of 40,000 WGT Credits.
