WGT Golf News

We're shaking up Showdowns with a new take on a WGT favorite! Think classic Showdown, but in a more condensed format...

Here are the rules for the Showdown Rush:

Qualifying Round

• The qualifying round lasts one day (rather than three days as in classic Showdown events) 

• During the qualifying round, the top 50% of the leaderboard advance to the elimination round

Elimination Round

• The elimination round lasts one day, with players having only one chance to advance to the final round

• The top 50% of the leaderboard qualifies for the final round

Final Round

• The final round last one day

• All players that make it to the final round will win prizes, and higher ranks win bigger prizes!

Other Things to Know

• Scoring is based on total strokes, meaning the fewer shots you take to complete your matches, the higher you will rank on the leaderboard

• Any incomplete or forfeited holes will be scored as bogeys

Here’s how CC Events work: 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. When your club enters the event, you’ll be matched with a club of a similar skill level and 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.

Each event is made up of Club Clashes which last for 4 hours so be sure to keep playing and watch the leaderboard!

PS, did you know: You can earn up to 2X Country Club XP, carry even more CC Passes and generate Passes faster with a WGT Plus or Premier Membership? Upgrade now and the benefits last for an entire year.
