HOW DO I JOIN A WSG TOURNAMENT?
You must become a member of the WSG. Once you sign up you will qualify for a spot in our Tour.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PLAY AN 18-HOLE ROUND?
WSG rounds typically take longer than a standard round of golf. Due to the participants placing their bets on every stroke and the potential to go All IN creates the need for more time. There is a time limit on each stroke to assist in keeping the pace. Players will have 30 Seconds to place their bet and 60 Seconds to take their shot.
