1.74.0 release notes

  • Callaway Rogue ST Clubs - Improve all-around performance with the latest from Callaway
  • Lunar New Year Shirt - Celebrate the Year of the Tiger with a free shirt
  • Lovebird Showdown - Love is in the air! New Showdown starts Valentine's Day

We did push with a couple known inconveniences in the new Tournament UI that we're looking into and hope to have addressed soon.
  1. When selecting the middle main menu card to enter the tournament UI, it will bring up the tournament details for the featured tournament but exiting the details will send the player back to the main menu.
  2. Some players may find tournaments in their Past Results (now in MY TOURNAMENTS area) that they didn't enter.
