WGT Golf News

Join us in celebrating "Wish Month" this August, in support of Make-A-Wish®!

We've created a special ball effect, featuring a starry blue vapor trail, that's available for a limited time in the WGT Pro Shop.

This new vapor trail is available as both a virtual golf ball AND a ball effect, so you can choose whichever best fits your game!

Even better than the magical stars, WGT will donate $1 for every sleeve of these virtual golf balls or set of ball effects sold, to help create even more life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

The Qualifier tournament kicks off today on Pebble Beach, with players competing in the unlimited stroke play tournament to post their best score by 8/26.

The top 32 scores from the Qualifier will move on to a final Bracket tournament, with the final two players winning a trip to Topgolf Atlanta to compete in a live, head-to-head final match!

The Bracket Championship round of head-to-head matches will be played across four days (8/29-9/1) to determine the final two bracket winners. These two players will get a trip to Topgolf Atlanta to compete in a live head-to-head match for a grand prize of $500 gift cards to both USGAshop.com and Topgolf.

This is a first-of-its-kind championship for WGT, so don't miss your chance to create WGT history!

NEW

First Ever Virtual U.S. Amateur

Compete in the first ever Virtual U.S. Amateur, starting Aug 1!

In continued collaboration with USGA, we're hosting a special new tournament, featuring a qualifying round (similar to the Virtual U.S. Open that you already know and love), followed by an all-new Championship Bracket round for the top leaderboard finishers.

The Virtual U.S. Amateur Qualifier begins Aug 1, where you can compete to post your best score. The top 32 scores will qualify and be placed into two 16-player brackets for the Championship round. These qualifiers will compete head-to-head until there are two finalists remaining, who will get a trip to Topgolf Atlanta where they will compete in a live head-to-head match for the grand prize and title of the first Virtual U.S. Amateur Champion.

CC Event #78 runs 7/26-7/27 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 that last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you'll be matched with a club at a similar skill level. Start playing! A timer will show how much time 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.
