    18 Oct 2013

    Special offer for WGT players...

    We're excited to launch the first version of WGT for iPad, and are inviting WGT players with iPad 2 and higher to be the first to try it out...free for a limited time only.

    WGT Golf Mobile is the World Golf Tour experience with stroke play and closest-to-the hole games and tournaments. You can log in with your existing WGT account and use your virtual equipment to play games on either the Web or your iPad.

    Note, this first version of the game does not include multi-player games, country club tournaments, or all the WGT golf courses yet, but we'll be adding those features as updates in the coming months, as well as support for iPhone and Android mobile devices.

    ...remember, get it soon while it's still free!

  • TOUR UPDATE: WGT Winter Tour, Oct Championship Round

    18 Oct 2013

    Congratulations to all the players who have made the cut in the WGT Winter Tour, and have advanced to the two single-play Championship Rounds.

    WGT player Headaball32 of Ireland, currently in 5th place in the Legend tier, had a spectacular hole-out in Round 1 on the first hole at Pebble Beach. Watch replay here.

    Round 2 of the WGT Winter Tour will be played on Harbour Town, and players must post their score by 10/24. Harbour Town is home to the RBC Heritage PGA Tour event, and the course is a true test of golfing ability, featuring challenging winds that blow off the Calibogue Sound. Round 3 will then be played on Wolf Creek from 10/25 to 10/31. Wolf Creek is a challenging desert course in Mesquite near Las Vegas. The Top 70 combined scores, across all three rounds, will split the purse of double WGT Credits.

  • TOUR UPDATE: WGT Winter Tour, Oct

    11 Oct 2013

    A weekly update from the WGT Winter Tour... Still time to enter!

    In this first tour stop for October, WGT players are posting their best scores on historic Pebble Beach to qualify for the two championship rounds the last two weeks in October, and win part of the double WGT Credit purse.

    Players are competing against other players in the same WGT tier (Pro, Tour Pro, Master, Tour Master, Legend, Tour Legend) in this closest-to-the-hole tournament, trying to place in the top 50% of scores to make the first-round cut.

    The Qualifier round on Pebble is open now thru Thu 10/17, and it's unlimited so you can play again to post your best score, with the top 50% of scores in each tier moving on to the two single-play championship rounds. Round 2 on Harbour Town runs 10/18-10/24, and Round 3 on Wolf Creek runs 10/25-10/31, both more challenging single-play rounds to determine the final combined scores. The top 70 combined scores in each tier earn the WGT Credit prizes.

    Here are the current leaders by tier. Keep in mind that these are Closest-to-the-Hole scores, so the scores are the combined distance from the hole for the 9 challenge holes...

    • Tour Legend: dansamcam, USA – shot a 35
    • Legend: mapewest, Italy – shot a 35
    • Tour Master: cbmeise, USA – shot a 41
    • Master: Matterpat, USA – shot a 33
    • Tour Pro: L1hm, USA – shot a 55
    • Pro: dtbrown757, Canada – shot a 66

    Don't forget to play and post your score before the cut on 10/17. And everyone gets a free TaylorMade Lethal virtual golf ball just for entering. Good luck, and stay tuned for updates on the WGT Winter Tour...
