Enter at your own risk, this month's Showdown has even the bravest of witches shaking in their stockings! 

Just kidding (sorta), but if you're new to Showdowns here's what you need to know...

Qualifying Round

• The qualifying round lasts three days, each day is a new chance to qualify for the elimination round

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

• Players that qualify on day 1 (top 50%) do not need to compete in days 2 or 3 of the qualifying round

• Players that do not qualify on day 1 can still compete on days 2 or 3 to advance

Elimination Round

• The elimination round lasts two days, 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 lasts two days

• 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

If you’re new to CC Events, there are a few things you should know:

• 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.

• WGT Country Clubs can use Course Builder currency to create custom courses to play in country club tournaments.

Each event is made up of Club Clashes that last for 4 hours so be sure to keep playing and keep your eyes on the leaderboard.

Fall is here, and WGT is back with a brand new Winner’s Circle event! Test your accuracy on Hole 13 at Merion.

It’s easy to play! Land your ball in one of the colored rings around the hole (or sink it if you’re really accurate) to win prize chests. Prize chests are color-coordinated to each ring color and include apparel packs, golf ball sleeves, and more. All players get one free shot. Additional shots are available for purchase.

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

Three things to keep in mind:

• Winner’s Circle is a limited-time event (10/5/22 - 10/9/22), but any remaining unused purchased shots will stay in your inventory for our 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

Shoot your shot today
