Topgolf, the point-based driving range-game that boasts four sites across the UK, is launching a global competition that comes with a $50,000 first prize and a trip to Las Vegas.
Golfers across in the United Kingdom can now register to take part in the UK leg of the competition, which is being held Topgolf Watford on July 8.
Each tournament is open to 68 teams of two amateurs (male, female or mixed-gender teams), with spots filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
The winning two-person team will earn a trip to Las Vegas to compete alongside other amateur teams from the US for the Topgolf Tour Championship, and the chance of returning home with the $50,000 cash prize. All finalists will be kitted out head-to-toe in event sponsor Under Armour’s clothing and footwear.
“Whether you’re a weekend golfer, hit every day, or have never picked up a club, the Topgolf Tour gives everyone a chance to compete like a pro,” said Topgolf CEO Erik Anderson. “Last year’s inaugural tournament introduced the sporting world to a new competitive format where men, women, all skill levels and ages could go head-to-head on a level playing field. This year’s tournament is only for amateurs, giving the average Joe and Jane the opportunity for international glory.”
Topgolf requires players to hit microchipped golf balls at targets with varying point values on the outfield. In round one of the regional tournaments, all teams will play three games. Using the cumulative scores from round one, the field will be cut to the top eight teams, who will move on to the second round of the tournament. The winning team from each city will advance to the Topgolf Tour Championship held at Topgolf Las Vegas from October 14-15.
