    CC Event #74 runs 5/31-6/1 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.

    2018 Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier

    Once you've gotten your virtual golf bag upgraded and ready to go, be sure to compete in the 2018 Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier tournament!

    The competition is strong, but shooting the lowest leaderboard score isn't the only way to win a trip to next year's U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. There's a second Grand Prize trip up for grabs for a lucky sweepstakes winner chosen at random -- that could be YOU.

    All you have to do is enjoy the 18 holes of full stroke play on the new 10th anniversary golf course, featuring some of the best holes from past U.S. Open Championships. This includes a number of the country's most prestigious courses including Bethpage Black, Pebble Beach Golf Links, Congressional Country Club, The Olympic Club, Merion, Pinehurst No. 2, Chambers Bay, Oakmont Country Club and Erin Hills.

    Reminder that everyone that enters the Qualifier will get:

    - Free USGA avatar (web)

    - Free USGA apparel items (mobile)

    - Free Lexus virtual golf ball

    - Free Lexus-branded Putter Pal

    These also make a great gift for your soccer-loving WGT friends!
