WGT Golf News

It’s a big release, although a short list, but we’re thrilled to bring a long-awaited refresh to our avatars. See below for what else is new this month.

Avatars

Get ready to personalize your avatar like never before! It’s been a while since avatars have been updated, but you’ve never seen WGT avatars quite like this. 

Coming soon

Breakthrough T1D Wolf Creek Tournament 

Compete for a 50,000 WGT Credit purse while supporting Breakthrough T1D in raising money for life-saving research to support the type 1 diabetes community. After teeing off on Wolf Creek in this tournament, don’t forget to donate to Breakthrough T1D if you feel so inclined.

Starts 11/1

Double Dessert Showdown

Thanksgiving dinner will have to wait – dessert is up first! Serve up some sweet shots in a new Showdown coming your way soon.

Starts on 11/11

We’re back with another Winner’s Circle! Shoot your shot at Oakmont before it’s over.

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 on the tee!

Put a spell on your rival clubs – CC Event #240 starts now! All winning club members earn the Witch Hat tee marker and flag to show off their big win.

New to CC Events? We’ve got you covered with a few things you should know:

• 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 points from their Clashes wins

• When your club enters the event, you will match with a club of a similar skill level, and a timer keeps track of how much play remains in that Clash

• Club members from both sides can play as many rounds as they’d like during the play time using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points

• WGT Country Clubs can use Course Builder currency to create custom courses to play in country club tournaments

Each event contains Club Clashes that last four hours, so keep playing and keep your eyes on the leaderboard!

Final Round
