WGT NATION Tournament During the U.S. Open

  Attention WGT NATION members: Don't miss the special tournament going on during the U.S. Open -- starting tomorrow (Thursday, 6/14).

  It's a four-day, four-round tournament -- one round per day, just like a real tournament -- and played on The Olympic Club course during the U.S. Open. They are single-play rounds and you must post a score each day (Thursday through Sunday).

  Here's what you need to know:

  • Four single-play rounds – each round must be posted daily Thu, Fri, Sat and Sun 6/14-17
  • Separate tiered tournaments limited to players at that same tier: Pro, Tour Pro, Master, Tour Master, Legend
  • Weather and course conditions appropriate for each tier, but they get harder over the weekend
  • Top 3 combined scores at each tier win Amazon Gift Cards
  • Note, these are single-play rounds, so be sure to practice in the unlimited-play Virtual U.S. Open Qualifier

  Play the free tournament here.

  If you haven't joined the WGT NATION yet, you can go to www.wgt.com/nation to see if you're eligible to sign-up and play in this free tournament.

  Good luck!

  Nice idea guys; I know you tried to do this with the Tour Finals so it'll be interesting to see what the final completion rate is like for all the players who start the tournament. I personally always struggle to play during weekends but I still give a "thumbs up" to this new tourney.

  Thank you, now I don't have to worry about missing an email. Great format too, four 18 hole single play rounds. Looking forward to playing the same tournament/course that I'm watching on TV.

  Any prizes for everyone that beats the winner of the real life US Open? That's a realistic goal for me....lol.

  Great goin guys!!! I love this format!!!

  This next statement should be taken with a grain of salt...

  Now if we could only work on getting a full field prize structure it would keep everyone playing ALL 4 rounds...

  I know you guys have been working your tails off getting things done, and just knowing that more of you are actually reading the forums and not only that but, actually doing something about it has re-energized my playing on here...

  ...keep up the good work!
