WGT players have completed 1 million rounds as of today, less than one month after the Beta went live! We have more exciting features, prizes and tournaments coming, so keep honing your skills and thanks for helping WGT reach this important milestone.

Ready for the next level of competition? We've enabled the Amateur tier at WGT! The top players in the community have been moved automatically to the new tier, where they will be playing from a new teebox. They will compete against other Amateur players in tournaments, and qualify for bigger purses and better prizes. As the WGT golfing community increases in size and ability we will continue to add higher tiers.

All players are elgible to qualify for the Amateur tier, so keep on playing!

(Please note that per our Terms & Conditions, each player may use only one account.)

There are only two days left to compete in The Jerry Lewis Open, so this is your last chance to win some amazing prizes:

• 5-night golf trip for two at the beautiful Kiawah Island Golf Resort
• 2-night golf getaway at the luxurious Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa in Tucson, Arizona
• New set of TaylorMade R7 golf clubs
• 5-day trip for two to Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino with 4 rounds of golf at The Bali Hai Golf Club

Your entry helps fight muscular dystrophy and gives you the chance to win these great prizes, but you can't win if you don't play! PLAY NOW

Some of you have expressed confusion as to when you can play a tournament many times, and when you can play only once. We're working on updating graphics and descriptions to make it more clear, so look for the changes in the coming days.

Single Play Tournaments - One Chance to Play

All Stroke Play tournaments are single play tournaments, which means you can play only once. This is true whether the tournament is Leaderboard- or Sweepstakes-based. If you close your game client in the middle of a game, or choose "SAVE", you will be asked to resume or forfeit the next time you open the game client. You must choose "RESUME" if you want to post a score. If you choose "FORFEIT", you will not post a score, nor will you be allowed to play again. Please note that choosing "END ROUND" automatically forfeits your entry and you will not be able to play the stroke play tournament again.

Unlimited Play Tournaments - Play Many Times

All Skill Challenge tournaments are unlimited play tournaments, which means you can play as many times as you like during the tournament period. This is true whether the tournament is Leaderboard- or Sweepstakes-based.
