Nouvelles WGT Golf

We have exciting changes coming to the 2023 Live Series Season! Our goals for these changes are to make the overall season much more competitive and have the closest Season Championship we've ever had. We've also overhauled the point system - see all details below. 

Format Changes

• Our previous Live Series seasons featured one unlimited qualifier round, but we have made the following changes:

  • The first qualifier is a standard unlimited tournament. However, the better your score, the more points you receive

  • The top 50 from the first qualifier play in a single-play round tournament. The top 10 from this second qualifier qualify for the Live Stream and earn additional points based on their placement.

  • The Live Stream points give players the majority of points earned. However, we intend to make the Season Championship much more competitive with multiple players in the running to win the season.

    • The Season Championship Live Stream is weighed heavier than all previous Live Streams throughout the season.

• To add parity to the Live Series, we significantly lowered the point totals that the top 10 players earn, which results in more players in the race for the season championship.

• The Live Stream of the month will feature our most difficult conditions to date:

  • 14 green speeds with high winds

  • We've also added a 60-second shot clock for all players

• The first and second qualifier are available to play on all platforms

• Live Stream is only available to play on WGT's desktop version

• Prizes

  • WGT Credits based on your placement in each tournament

  • The season champion receives the exclusive Hall of Fame player tier

  • The season champion also receives a community tournament where they choose the title, wind conditions, green speed, and more!

• An open and unlimited qualifier on 18 holes

• The top 50 players play the next qualifier in a single-play round

Let's get this party started! A brand new CC Event is going on new, featuring these festive hat tee markers and flags. 

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.

Just in time for Labor Day, we are back with a brand new Winner’s Circle event! Test your accuracy on Hole 17 at Pebble Beach.

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 with more available to purchase.

To ensure this is a fair test of accuracy, all players will use special 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 (8/31/22 - 9/4/22), 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
