WGT Golf News

It’s time to dazzle the competition, take a bow and walk away with prizes only your play can outshine!

First time playing in a Showdown? We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know.

Qualifying Round

• The qualifying round lasts three days
  
• Players have a daily chance each day of the qualifying round to secure their spot in the elimination round
  
• The top 50% of the qualifying round leaderboard advance to the elimination round
  
• Players that qualify on day one (top 50%) do not need to play on day two or three of the qualifying round
  
• Players that do not qualify on day one are still eligible to compete on days two or three to secure an elimination round spot
  

Elimination Round

• The elimination round lasts two days
  
• Players only get one chance to grab a spot in the final round, unlike the qualifying round
  
• The top 50% of the elimination round leaderboard advance to the final round
  

Final Round

• The final round also lasts two days
  
• If you’ve made it this far, you’ll receive a prize no matter what, but the higher you rank, the bigger the prizes
  

Other Things to Know

• We base scoring on total strokes, meaning the fewer shots you take to complete your matches, the higher you rank on the leaderboard
  
• Incomplete or forfeited holes score as bogeys
