    Another chapter in the story of CC Events unfolds, featuring these Open Book 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.

    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.

  • March Winner’s Circle is Live 🎯

    02 Mar 2022

    Spring has arrived with a brand new Winner’s Circle!

    To play, land your ball in one of the colored rings surrounding the cup by taking one shot from the tee box of the 15th hole at The Olympic Club. To maximize competition, all players will be using special Winner's Circle clubs.

    If you land your ball in one of the rings or in the hole you’ll win prize chests, which include items like apparel packs, sleeves of golf balls and more. Each prize chest is coordinated to match a ring of the same color on the green. 

    A few things to know:

    • All players will use the same exclusive Winner’s Circle-branded club set

    • The hole, pin placement, green speed and wind rating will not change from one shot to the next, however you may see slight wind direction and wind speed changes

    • If the timer expires before you take your shot, that shot will be lost

    • Winner's Circle is a limited-time event, so any remaining shots will stay in your inventory and can be used in future events (*excludes free shots that are only available during that event)

    Good Luck!

    *This event runs 3/2/22 to 3/6/22 and is open to all WGT players.
