    22 Jul 2024

    Medal season is upon us and it’s gold everyone wants. Climb your way to the top of the leaderboard in the Gold Medal Showdown!

    If it’s your first time playing in a Showdown, here is everything you need to know.

    Qualifying Round

    • The qualifying round lasts three days

    • Players have a daily chance each day of the qualifying round to secure their spot in the elimination round

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

    • Players that qualify on day one (top 50%) do not need to play on day two or three of the qualifying round

    • Players that do not qualify on day one are still eligible to compete on days two or three to secure an elimination round spot

    Elimination Round

    • The elimination round lasts two days

    • Players only get one chance to grab a spot in the final round, unlike the qualifying round

    • The top 50% of the elimination round leaderboard advance to the final round

    Final Round

    • The final round also lasts two days

    • If you’ve made it this far, you’ll receive a prize no matter what, but the higher you rank, the bigger the prizes

    Other Things to Know

    • We base scoring on total strokes, meaning the fewer shots you take to complete your matches, the higher you rank on the leaderboard

    • Incomplete or forfeited holes score as bogeys

    Gold Medal Showdown is open to all players on WGT for PC, WGT for Mac, and WGT Golf Mobile!

    *Gold Medal Showdown runs from 7/22/24-7/28/24.
