Why doesn't my average change?

Depending on what game modes are played, a player's average and stats may not change. A player's average and stats only change during Single Player ranked matches and Multiplayer Tournaments. Ranked rounds on "Best of" courses do not count toward a player's average.

To play a single player ranked round:

• Tap the GAME MODES button on the main menu
• Choose SINGLE PLAYER STROKE PLAY
• Choose a course you would like to play and then select Front 9, Back 9, or Full 18

To ensure the round is ranked and will count toward your average and stats, before selecting TEE OFF, make sure that RANKED is highlighted on the left side of the screen.

Selecting a 3-hole game will lock the round to Practice. Additionally, most Stroke Play Tournaments played on courses other than "Best of" and Custom Courses count as ranked rounds.

How do I advance to the next tier?

Tier advancement is a combination of a player's scoring average and the number of ranked rounds played in their current tier.

I recently advanced in tier and now my average has gone up, why?

A player's average is based on the ranked rounds they have played within their current tier. When a player advances to a new tier, their ranked rounds within the new tier starts over at zero and their average resets to reflect the scores in the new tier. Players may see a large difference in their average after their first ranked score in the new tier, depending on that score.

What is XP and how do I get it?

XP stands for Experience Points. This is what you earn after every game played, and what your character uses to reach the next level.

You can view your current progress toward the next level by selecting your profile photo in the top right of the main menu. At the top of the profile box is your XP bar, with a counter that shows how much XP you have accumulated over time and how much is needed to reach the next level.

Can I receive bonus XP?

Yes! By playing at least once a day, you will earn the Consecutive Days Played bonus. Each consecutive day you play will award bonus XP to your player for your first game of the day.

The daily timer is based on UTC (Universal Time), so it does not reset at midnight. Be sure to keep an eye on the timer so you don't miss it!

You can view your Consecutive Days Played bonus and timer by selecting DAILY BONUS in the lower right of the main menu.

How do I block a player?

How can I get more apparel items for my avatar?

When a sponsorship expires, you can immediately reactivate it with credits, or you can wait until the "cooldown" timer ends to reactivate for free.

What is reputation?

Reputation is what unlocks the next sponsor, and is earned with every apparel pack you open. You can view your Reputation progress on the sponsor screen. Any locked sponsor will have a progress bar showing the amount of reputation you have and the amount needed to unlock the sponsor.

Once you have unlocked all available sponsors you will no longer receive additional Reputation points.

Goals

What are Goals?

Goals are in-game challenges that are available for a limited time and can be completed to earn stars. Accumulate stars to make progress toward your next milestone, where you'll earn rewards.

You can view your progress toward the next milestone on the tracker found at the top of the Goals menu or in the top left of the main menu.

Earn milestone rewards by collecting stars, and use the progress tracker to see how many more stars are needed to reach the next milestone.

To see all milestones and available rewards for the week, select SEE ALL REWARDS from the Goals menu.

What are the differences between daily, weekly, and event goals?

Goal types are differentiated by the number of stars they award when completed, and the amount of time you have to complete them. Each goal has a timer letting you know how much time you have left to complete it.

Weekly goals are often more involved than daily goals, but also offer larger star payouts.

Event goals are challenges tied to a specific in-game event like a Showdown or Winner's Circle.

What are Stars?

Stars add progress toward the next milestone achievement; tap the COLLECT button when you complete a goal to receive them. Once you reach the next milestone, you'll automatically receive your in-game reward.

How do I get Stars?

Stars are awarded when any goal is completed and you tap the COLLECT button. You'll see the stars added to your total, and your progress will increase toward the next reward.

Be sure to collect your completed goals before they expire; you won't be able to collect stars from completed goals after the expiration.

What kind of rewards can I earn by completing goals?

Players can earn several types of items by completing goals, including WGT Credits, WGT Coins, XP, and apparel packs.

Why are some rewards locked?

Each reward is color coded in green, blue, or purple, indicating the membership level needed to unlock it. All players are eligible to receive green rewards; blue rewards are unlocked by having an active Plus membership, and purple rewards are unlocked by having an active Premier membership.

Plus members will receive the green and blue rewards for each milestone.

Premier members will receive all rewards for each milestone.

How do I get all rewards for a milestone?

A player who is an active Premier member will receive all rewards for each completed milestone.

Do I only get the reward associated with my membership subscription?

No. Each reward tied to a specific membership will also unlock each reward before it.

All players will receive the green rewards for each milestone.

Plus members will receive the green and blue rewards for each milestone.

Premier members will receive all rewards (green, blue, and purple) for each milestone.

If I upgrade my membership after reaching milestones can I still get those rewards?

Yes! Any locked rewards from milestones you've reached during the current week can be earned by upgrading your membership.

Once the weekly timer resets, you won't be able to get those locked rewards, so don't wait too long to upgrade.

Are there any game modes that won't count toward goals?

Many goals will ask you to play in a specific game mode to complete.

For goals that do not require a specific game mode to complete, the only game modes that won't apply toward your progress are single-player practice games that include the mulligan feature.

Achievements

What are Achievements?

Achievements are special awards and prizes given by completing specific challenges. Each achievement has a special award that's added to the Awards section of your profile, and a special one-time unlockable reward for completing it.

How do I complete an achievement?

Where can I see the achievements I've completed?

You can see your completed achievements in the awards section of your profile. Select your profile picture in the top right of the main menu, go to the Awards section on the left, then choose the Career tab.

What kind of rewards can I get for completing an achievement?

Players can earn WGT Credits, WGT Coins, apparel packs, and XP by completing achievements, plus a special award displayed on their profile's Awards section.

What will happen to my old-style awards?

Players will no longer be able to earn the old-style awards, but awards previously earned can still be viewed in the Awards section of their profile page on WGT.com.

Are there any game modes that won't count toward achievement progress?

Many achievements will ask players to play in a specific game mode to make progress.

If you don't see the option or are unable to access the page, it means that you do not have permission in your club to use the Custom Course feature. Club permissions are set by your Country Club Owner; reach out to the owner about receiving these permissions.

Why am I unable to make a Custom Course for my Country Club?

The Country Club Owner sets permissions for which players are able to create Custom Courses. If you are unable to create a Custom Course, please reach out to the owner about receiving this permission.

What is a Country Club Course Builder?

A Country Club Course Builder is an item that allows a member of a Country Club to publish tournaments on a Custom Course. Creating the course does not require a Course Builder; only publishing the tournament that uses it will require a Course Builder.

How does my club receive Course Builders?

Clubs can earn Course Builders as an award for their placement in the Country Club Clash Event, as a Country Club Level Benefit, or any member of the club can purchase a Course Builder from the Pro Shop.

What happens when I purchase a Course Builder?

When a club member purchases a Course Builder, it is added to the club's inventory of Course Builders. Individual players do not keep an inventory of Course Builders.

This means that once the Course Builder is purchased, any member of the club with permission to publish a Custom Course Tournament can use the Course Builder.

Country Club Clash Events

What are Club Clash Events?

Clash events are Club vs Club competitions, where the goal is to earn the most points in stroke play games. The club with the most total points at the end of the event will win the Clash.

The full Clash event runs for 48 hours. Clubs will match up with other clubs for 4-hours at a time.

How does my Country Club enter a Club Clash?

How do I compete in a Club Clash?

Once your club is matched with an opponent, the Clash card in the main menu will bring you to your Clash leaderboard against the opposing team. From there, select PLAY A GAME in the top right to begin a Clash round.

You can also use the Clash section of the Country Club menu to reach the Clash leaderboard page.

A Club Pass needs to be used in each Clash round to earn points for your club.

What are Superpasses?

Superpasses are special club passes that can only be used in Clash games. Superpasses double the number of points earned in a Clash game.

Every team begins with a number of Superpasses determined by their club level. The BENEFITS tab in the Country Club menu will indicate how many Superpasses a club will begin with in a Clash event. Additionally, any Turf War events won by a club since the last Clash event will give additional passes for the Clash.

The Superpasses your club has during the first club vs club contest will only be available for that first contest, so be sure to use as many as you can. In each subsequent Clash your club will be given 2 Superpasses to use.

Superpasses are not distributed to individual players, but given to the whole club. This means that any player that has permission from the club owner (set in the club owner's tools) are able to use Superpasses.

Superpasses cannot be purchased.

How do I use a Superpass?

If you have permission from the club owner and there are Superpasses available, you will receive a pop-up message at the beginning of your clash game to use a Superpass.

Who can use Superpasses?

Superpasses can be used by any player in the club that has received permission from the club's owner. If you do not have access to Superpasses, contact your club owner to receive permission.

How does Club Clash scoring work?

Players earn points in a clash based on their play. Points are assigned as follows:

• Eagle: (2 strokes under par): +25 points
• Birdie: (1 stroke under par): +12 points
• Par: +5 points
• Bogey: (+1 stroke over par): +2 points
• Double Bogey or worse: (+2 or more strokes over par): +1 point

Clubs will also receive a participation bonus based on the percentage of club members who participate in a 4-hour clash against another club. Participation bonuses will be added at the end of a 4-hour clash round. The participation bonuses are as follows:

• 25 to 49.9%: +40 points

Turf Wars

What are Turf Wars?

A Turf War is a club vs club event where two clubs match up and compete to earn the most coins in head-to-head games. A Turf War will run for 24 hours and the club that has earned the most coins at the finish will be declared the winner.

How do I start a Turf War?

To begin a Turf War, the club must use twice as many club passes as there are members. For example, if there are 50 members in a club, 100 passes must be used before the club can Activate a Turf War. This is called the Call-to-Arms phase.

Once the club has used the number of passes needed, it will be able to select ACTIVATE on the Turf War card on the main menu. If the Turf War card is not showing, it can also be activated in the Country Club Menu.

When a Turf War is available, it can be activated by any member of the club.

What are Trophies?

Trophies are a skill level used to best match your Country Club against another. When your club performs well in Turf Wars you may see an increase in trophies. If your team is performing poorly, your team may lose trophies.

How do I earn points in a Turf War?

When a Turf War is active, winning in any head-to-head coin room while using a club pass will add points for your club.

What can I win in a Turf War?

The winning club receives:

• One extra Superpass for the next Country Club event
• 15% bonus Club XP
• All participating members receive 2000 coins
• 15% bonus to the coins earned individually during the event

The losing club receives:

• 5% bonus to Club XP
• All participating members receive 200 coins
• 5% bonus to the coins earned individually during the event

What happens if a Club Event starts before my Turf War ends?

If you have an active Turf War when a Clash event starts, your Turf War will continue regularly, but your club will not be able to activate a new Turf War until the Clash event is over.

Any passes used while a Clash event is active will not count toward the Call-to-Arms phase.

Tournaments

What types of tournaments are in WGT?

WGT offers Leaderboard Tournaments, Ready-Go Tournaments, Bracket Tournaments, and Sweepstakes. Additionally there are Shot Clocks and Set of the Week, which can be added to any tournament type.

Some tournaments are gated by age or location, or are platform specific. If you are unable to join a specific tournament it's likely that you have not added important information to your account, are in a location that does not allow you to play in a tournament, or are on a platform that does not allow a specific tournament type.

When trying to join a tournament, WGT may ask for player information to ensure that you meet the requirements of a specific tournament.

What is a Leaderboard Tournament?

A Leaderboard Tournament is where the lowest overall score wins. Leaderboard tournaments can host players of all skill levels on one leaderboard or it can separate players by tier.

How are Leaderboard tournament winners awarded?

For tournaments with a "top 70" payout:

Not all leaderboards use a "top 70" structure. Some leaderboard tournaments have custom prize settings. These can be found in the tournament rules or the prize description for that tournament.

What is a Ready-Go Tournament?

A Ready-Go tournament is a 50-player leaderboard tournament where the top 30 players receive prizes. As soon as 50 players enter the tournament, it will be closed for new entries and a new tournament will automatically become available to join.

After joining a Ready-Go tournament, players will have 24 hours to post their score to the leaderboard.

How are Ready-Go tournament winners awarded?

What is a Bracket Tournament?

A Bracket Tournament is a multi-round tournament that places entrants into head-to-head style matchups where the winner of each match moves to the next round.

When the bracket completely fills, the round timers begin. Be sure to complete your round within before time runs out and keep an eye on when the next round starts!

How are Bracket tournament winners awarded?

In brackets that have credit prizes, the award structure is:

• 1st Place: receives 50% of the total prize purse
• 2nd Place: receives 30% of the total prize purse
• 3rd & 4th Place: each receives 10% of the total prize purse

What is a Shot Clock Tournament?

A Shot Clock Tournament challenges players to complete each shot within a set amount of time. Any of the previously mentioned tournaments can be designated as a Shot Clock Tournament. Shot Clock Tournaments can be identified by a shot clock icon on the tournament art and info.

What is a Set of the Week Tournament?

A Set of the Week Tournament forces all entrants to use a special set of clubs for the specific tournament. In this case, the Set of the Week clubs are provided by WGT and the player does not need to purchase special equipment.

Any tournament can be designated as a Set of the Week tournament, and is identified by a special club icon on the tournament art and info.

How are ties handled in tournaments?

In the event of a tie, placement on the leaderboard of the tied entrants is determined by the following tiebreakers in order until leaderboard placement is determined:

1. The lowest combined score for the final nine (9) holes.
2. The lowest combined score for the final six (6) holes.
3. The lowest combined score for the final three (3) holes.
4. The lowest score for the 18th hole (9th for 9-hole games).
5. The lowest scoring entrant for each individual game hole, in sequence from 17th (8th for 9-hole games) through to 1st.
6. If any ties still remain, the earlier-submitted entry will be deemed the better scoring entry.

If multiple players tie for the same place, unless otherwise noted in the tournament rules and prizing, the credits awarded will be added up and divided by the number of tied players. For example: if three players tie for 2nd place, the credits awarded for places 2, 3, and 4 will be totaled and divided by three so each of the players tied for 2nd place receive the same amount of credits. 5th place will then get the correct 5th place percentage.

First place will always be determined as a single winner using the tiebreakers above.

Why do I see a player in a tiered leaderboard that does not belong to that specific tier?

When players enter a tiered tournament they are locked to the leaderboard associated with the tier they are in when they first enter the tournament.

For example: if an Amateur player enters a tiered tournament they will be added to the Amateur tier leaderboard for that tournament. If that player is promoted to Pro while the tournament is active they will continue to play on the Amateur leaderboard until the tournament is completed but can no longer enter any new Amateur tournaments.

Showdowns

What is a Showdown?

A Showdown is a 3-round head-to-head stroke play event where players can win prizes based on leaderboard placement. A player will advance to the next round by finishing in the top 50% of their leaderboard. In the final round, placement determines the player's prize. All players that make it to the final round of the tournament will win prizes.

In a Showdown, players compete in multiple head-to-head games to post their scores to the Showdown leaderboard. Any unfinished or unplayed holes at the end of the round timer will be scored as bogeys.

How do I advance to the next round of a Showdown?

A player advances to the next round of the Showdown by finishing in the top 50% of their leaderboard. Players below the cut line will be eliminated from the round.

If I don't make the cut, can I play again?

The Qualifying Round consists of 3 single-day cycles where players who are eliminated can reenter the tournament and try again in other days of the Qualifying Round. For example, if a player enters day 1 of the Qualifying Round and is eliminated, they can enter again in day 2. After the 3rd day of the Qualifying Round eliminated players will no longer be able to re-enter.

Players who finish in the top 50% of their leaderboard will advance to the next round. Once a player has qualified for the next round, they do not need to play in any remaining days of the Qualifying Round.

What happens if I don't complete my Showdown round?

If a player does not finish their round, all unplayed holes will be scored as bogeys.

What are the three levels of the Showdown and how are they different?

The three levels of the Showdown are Rookie, Veteran, and Expert.

Players who enter higher levels of the Showdown pay a higher fee to enter the tournament, play against more experienced users, and win bigger prizes.

What kind of prizes can I win in a Showdown?

Players have a chance to win credits, coins, apparel, golf balls, and other gear. Check the prize tab in the Showdown to see the prizes you can win in that specific Showdown. Sometimes players can even win special or exclusive items.

How are Showdown ties handled?

If two players are tied in a Showdown, leaderboard placement is determined by:

1. Number of Showdown holes completed
2. Score of final Showdown game
3. Score of second-to-last Showdown game
4. Score of third-to-last Showdown game
5. Number of Double Eagles scored in Showdown
6. Number of Eagles scored in Showdown
7. Number of Birdies scored in Showdown
8. First to complete Showdown round

Winner's Circle

What is Winner's Circle?

Winner's Circle is a limited time event that tests player accuracy. Each Winner's Circle event will take place on a single hole and can be played one shot at a time. The goal of the event is to win prizes by landing your ball in the cup or the surrounding colored rings. Each ring has its own prize chest, and the top prize is won by hitting the ball into the cup.

Prizes for each ring can be viewed by selecting any of the colored chests from the Winner's Circle menu.

How long does a Winner's Circle event last?

Winner's Circle events can vary in length. The timer on the main menu screen will show you how long you have left to play in each event.

Can I win more than one prize?

Yes! You can win all of the available prizes once per event.

What happens when I land the ball in a specific ring?

When you land your ball in any of the rings, you'll win the prize chest of the same color.

If you land in the outermost ring, it will be removed, making the target area smaller. If you land in one of the inner rings, the adjacent outer ring will expand to take its place, keeping the target area the same size.

For example, if you land in the Emerald ring, that ring will be removed from your target. If the Sapphire ring (the adjacent outer ring to Emerald) is still available, it will expand to include the original Emerald ring area to take its place and keep the overall target the same size.

There will never be a blank gap between rings.

Do course conditions change from one shot to the next?

The hole, pin placement, green speed, and wind rating will not change from one shot to the next. The only thing that can change is the wind direction and slight wind speed changes (within the posted wind speed rating, ex: LOW or HIGH).

You can view the wind and green speed details in the lower left of the Winner's Circle menu.

What happens if the timer expires on my Winner's Circle shot?

If the timer expires before you take your shot, you will be returned to the main menu and that shot will be lost.

What happens if I still have Winner's Circle shots when the event ends?

Any remaining shots will remain in your inventory and can be used in the next event. This excludes any "free" shots which do not carry over to future events, so be sure to use those each time!

Do I use my own equipment for Winner's Circle?

All players will use the same Winner's Circle-branded club set. These clubs are exclusive to Winner's Circle events and cannot be purchased in the Pro Shop.
