WGT’s ultimate accuracy test is back again! This month, Winner’s Circle heads to PGA National CTTH hole 8. It’s a fairway shot, so only the most accurate will prevail.

New to Winner’s Circle? It’s simple to play! Just land your ball in one of the colored rings around the hole (or sink it if you can) to win prize chests. Prize chests are color-coordinated with each ring color and include apparel packs, golf ball sleeves and more. All players get one free shot, but you can always buy more for extra chances.

To ensure this is a fair test of accuracy, all players will use designated Winner’s Circle clubs so everyone is on a level playing fairway!

Three things to keep in mind:

• Winner’s Circle is a limited-time event, but any remaining unused purchased shots will stay in your inventory for the next Winner’s Circle event.

• Don’t let the timer expire, or you will lose that shot.

• The only change from shot to shot will be minor wind direction and speed changes.

See you at the tee box!
