    PS, did you know: You can earn up to 2X Country Club XP, carry even more CC Passes and generate Passes faster with a WGT Plus or Premier Membership? Upgrade now and the benefits last for an entire year!

    CC Event #70 runs 4/5-4/6 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 to play 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 Superpasses to earn points.

  • The 2018 Virtual U.S. Open continues this month

    The Virtual U.S. Open continues with the Back 9 Challenge tournament, going on now!

    This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Virtual U.S. Open on WGT so we've created a new course made up of the best holes from the past nine U.S. Open Championships.

    You can get a preview of the back 9 holes of this new course in the Back 9 Challenge, a quick 9-hole closest-to-the-hole tournament.

    Play as many times as you want to post your best score and for your chance to win a $500 USGAshop.com gift card. Both the top leaderboard score and a lucky sweepstakes winner chosen at random will get one!

    Play Back 9 Challenge

    You also still have time to compete in the Front 9 Challenge for a preview of the front 9 holes, open now through 4/30.

  • It's time... Stock up on Nike Balls

    30 Mar 2018

    Nike balls will be removed from the WGT Pro Shop at the end of April, so now's the time to stock up on your favorites!

    Back in November 2016, we announced that Nike virtual clubs were being removed from the game, timed with Nike's announcement that they were getting out of the golf equipment game.

    Nike virtual golf balls have remained in the game, but we’ll be removing them near the end of April.

    Please hold the shouting for a minute...

    We know there are a lot of players that love their Nikes, so you still have time to stock up on your favorites. The Pro Shop removal will NOT impact anything you already have in your inventory, so you'll still have any that you've purchased until you run out as usual.

    Lastly, we have some really exciting things in the works right now that we hope you're as excited about as we are. Seriously, BIG. THINGS. that we'll announce as soon as we can. Classic WGT cliffhanger! 😉

    Get All the Nike Balls

    (PS: WGTChampion just puked from excitement in the office.)
