It’s been a bit, but we’re back with another Showdown Royale – the high-paced elimination-style tournament meets Showdown event. Consider yourself one of WGT’s elite? Now’s your chance to prove it.

Haven’t played in a Showdown Royale yet? Here’s what you need to know:

Qualifying Round

• The qualifying round lasts one day

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

• The qualifying round leaderboard contains 20 players

Elimination Round

• The elimination round lasts one day

• There are only ten players on the elimination round leaderboard

• The top 50% of the elimination round leaderboard advance to the final round

Final Round

• The final round also lasts one day

• All five players that make it to the final round receive a prize – the higher you rank, the better the prizes

Other Things to Know

• We base scoring on total strokes, meaning the fewer shots you take to complete your matches, the higher you rank on the leaderboard

• Incomplete or forfeited holes score as bogeys

Showdown Royale is open to all players on WGT for PC, WGT for Mac, and WGT Golf Mobile!

New to CC Events? We’ve got you covered with 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 points from their Clashes wins

• When your club enters the event, you will match with a club of a similar skill level, and a timer keeps track of how much play remains in that Clash

• Club members from both sides can play as many rounds as they’d like during the play 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 contains Club Clashes that last four hours, so keep playing and keep your eyes on the leaderboard!

Step up to the tee to take WGT’s ultimate accuracy test! Winner’s Circle on Edgewood Hole 5 starts now.

New to Winner’s Circle? No worries, it’s simple to play! Land your ball in one of the colored rings around the hole (or sink it if you can) to win prize chests. Prize chests are color-coordinated with each ring color and include apparel packs, golf ball sleeves and more. All players get one free shot, but additional shots are available for purchase.

To ensure this is a fair test of accuracy, all players will use designated Winner’s Circle clubs so everyone is on a level fairway!

Three things to keep in mind:

• Winner’s Circle is a limited-time event, but any remaining unused purchased shots will stay in your inventory for the 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.

See you on the tee!
