WGT Golf News

It’s time to see how accurate you really are. Winner’s Circle is back and heading to Hole 15 at Chambers Bay! Only the best will sink their shots.

If you’re new to Winner’s Circle, it’s simple to play! Just 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 you can always buy more for extra chances.

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

Take your shots

As you may have heard, we will be postponing the upcoming WGT Live Series tournament that was due to start this week for the foreseeable future. Our hope is that we can relaunch the series in a format and within a budget that best supports our goals of growing the community. We genuinely apologize for the last-minute announcement and are happy to answer any questions you may have. We will keep you updated as we know more and appreciate your understanding! 

What does this mean for the future of Live Series and WGT eSports? Well, we’ll be going back to the drawing board on a couple things:

• Thinking of fresh ideas/formats for eSports and future WGT live streams
• Identifying sponsors for tournaments 

Things we can do in the short-term:

• Partner with the community to run more streams on Twitch or Discord

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us regarding any eSports or tournament ideas, suggestions, or feedback!
