Nouvelles WGT Golf

It’s a (Colorado) Avalanche on WGT this week!

Tune in tomorrow to watch Colorado Avalanche hockey player (and captain!) Gabe Landeskog go head-to-head against Altitude TV’s Kyle Keefe in the Fairway Face-Off, presented by Toyota.

The winner of this live match will receive a $1,000 prize from Your Hometown Toyota Stores, to be donated to the charity of their choice.

Kyle Keefe has selected the EyeLoveLogan 5K charity, which supports the RDH12 Fund for Sight, and Gabe Landeskog has selected the Friends charity, which is dedicated to helping prevent bullying through support of youth sports clubs, schools and other organizations.

Hosted by Avalanche play-by-play announcer, Marc Moser, and Avalanche alumni and current announcer, John-Michael Liles, don’t miss it as the group takes their skills from the ice to the green.

The Fairway Face-Off tees off tomorrow, 5/28 at 6 PM MT.

CC Event #125 runs 5/14-5/15 with multiple 4-hour Clashes, so be sure to play as many games as you can for your club and keep your eyes on the leaderboard.

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!

Here’s how it works: Each event is made up of Club Clashes which last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you’ll be matched with a similar skill level club. Start playing! 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 Super passes to earn points.

Learn more about CC Events and Club Clashes.
