WGT Golf News

Soak in the last days of vacation – rentals are on us to start the year. Through New Year’s Day, you can try new clubs completely risk-free, so now is the time to dial in your bag for 2024.

Just head to the Pro Shop to test out some club upgrades! And if you love one of the clubs you rent, you can purchase any rented club for a discount after the rental expires. There’s no limit on how many clubs you can rent – test as many as you’d like before the end of this promotion.

Rent Now

*Free rental promotion runs 12/31/23-1/1/24 and is open to all WGT players on eligible platforms. Rental clubs last 24 hours each and can be re-rented during the promotion.

End one year and start another with a Showdown win. Are you ready? 3... 2... 1... Go! It’s the Countdown Showdown.

If it’s your first time playing in a Showdown, here is everything you need to know.

Qualifying Round

• The qualifying round lasts three days

• Players have a daily chance each day of the qualifying round to secure their spot in the elimination round

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

• Players that qualify on day one (top 50%) do not need to play on day two or three of the qualifying round

• Players that do not qualify on day one are still eligible to compete on days two or three to secure an elimination round spot

Elimination Round

• The elimination round lasts two days

• Players only get one chance to grab a spot in the final round, unlike the qualifying round

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

Final Round

• The final round also lasts two days

• If you’ve made it this far, you’ll receive a prize no matter what, but the higher you rank, the bigger 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

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

Qualify Now

*Countdown Showdown runs from 12/30/23-1/5/24.

WGT’s ultimate accuracy test is heading south for winter! Shoot your shots on hole 17 at Pinehurst No. 2 to treat yourself to a prize chest over the holidays.

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 at the tee!

Play now

Celebrate the holidays with a free ball effect! All players get a free Jingle Ball Effect (50 hits) for logging onto WGT from 12/24-12/25, so you can continue enjoying some winter magic even after it’s over.

Log in and play WGT as usual to receive your free ball effects. The Jingle Ball Effect will automatically be added to your inventory but not automatically equipped. If you want to use your ball effect, be sure to equip it before your next swing.

Happy Holidays!
