Diehard golfers will soon have a chance to yell “four!” at some of the world’s most famous courses—all while traveling around the world. That’s a birdie by any standards.

In November 2020, private jet charter market place Victor and the travel specialists at Golf .Extra are teaming up to launch the Ultimate Golf World Tour. The highly curated, 26-day-long trip will take golf enthusiasts, via private jet, to 15 of the world’s most exclusive courses, while staying and dining in five-star hotels and restaurants along the way.

Golfers will be whisked between seven countries aboard an A340-VIP jet that has been specifically optimized for their comfort, according to Victor. Filled with stylish lie-flat leather seats and a lounge area, each row of the plane is limited to two people, allowing for both aisle access and privacy for each passenger. There will also be personalized cabin crew service and a fine-tuned itinerary, ensuring direct connections, VIP terminals and short transfer times for the smoothest travel possible. Plus, the emissions from the flights will be curtailed by the company’s carbon offsetting program, which aims to minimize the impact of the trips on the environment.

As for the tour itself, things get started with golfers flying from Frankfurt to Oman, where they will hit the links at Al-Mouj Golf and Ghala Golf Club , while staying in the Kempinski Hotel Muscat . Up next are Sentona Golf Club and the New Tajon Course in Singapore, where travelers will fit in some rest and relaxation at the Ritz-Carlton . After that, is a three-night stay at the Langham in Sydney with time for a challenging round at the coastal St. Michael’s Golf Club . The group will then head to New Zealand, where golfers will get to play at beautiful Jack’s Point Golf Course and Millbook Country Club , while staying at the Sofitel Queenstown Hotel & Spa .

From there, the tour heads to the Americas. The first stop is in Hawaii, where travelers will stay at the Ritz-Carlton between rounds at the Kapalua’s Bay Course , the Plantation Course and amid the preserved lava rock walls of the Gold Course at Wailea Golf Club . Up next is a stint at the Fairmont San Francisco , interspersed with tee times at the TPC Harding Park , the home of the 2020 PGA Championship, and a particularly scenic round at the Ocean Course at Half Moon Bay .

The tour culminates with a trip to Mexico, where golfers will get to experience three of the country’s finest courses— El Camaleón Mayakoba , El Tinto Golf Course and Jack Nicklaus-designed Riviera Cancun Golf Club — while staying at the plush Fairmont Mayakoba .

While that may seem like a lot of golf in one month, there will be plenty of down time to relax and think about things other than your putting game. Players who need a break, or those who just don’t golf, will be offered a daily cultural program in each location, whether it’s riding camels in the Oman desert or taking a helicopter flight over New Zealand’s Milford Sound.

Limited to 60 places, the once-in-a-lifetime golf trip will cost $81,000 (€72,500) per person. You can get more more information about the Ultimate Golf World Tour or book your trip by emailing [email protected] , or calling +44 (0)20 7384 8550.

Played in the latest Ultimate golf 9 hole challenge.. Paid the 8'000 000 coin fee.. Came in 330th place shooting - 12. The winner shot the best score possible at - 20 under with 2 holes in one, 2 Albatrosses and 5 eagles.. When are you guys going to level the playing field for people that don't want to cheat with the wind adjuster app? What fun is it to NEVER miss?? Shooting - 20 on a 9 hole course is unrealistic.. You're losing a lot more players than you're gaining.

I am very new to this game and I’m absolutely loving everything about it

What I would love to see thou is some high earning tournaments which players can use unlimited free balls only to test players skills fully

I also agree if there is any cheating going on via separate apps wind calls etc

It would be advisable if you can fix this as I left a very popular online golf game after many years and time spent in the game

To many cheats and greed for to much in the end

Great game UG

keep up the good work

Two ball foursomes and the like would be fantastic

The greens are to fast

How do I download the download that didn't download the first time. Can a human respond please. Thank you

Ultimate Golf! Beginner’s Guide: 13 Tips, Tricks & Strategies for Winning More Matches

By: Author Tim McNeil

Posted on Last updated: April 30, 2021

Aside from the Dude Perfect series , Miniclip is known for producing a wide range of casual-but-not-quite sports games for iOS and Android gamers, such as Basketball Stars and Bowling King . If golf is more up your alley than those other sports we mentioned, we suggest checking out one of their more recent titles, Ultimate Golf!

The game comes with several real-life golf courses, multiplayer matches that take place in real time, and a wide range of collectible clubs and balls that you can use to improve your game. Naturally, you’ll also need to perfect your swinging and putting technique before anything else if you want to come out on top of those head-to-head matches, tournaments, and special events.

While it’s true that Ultimate Golf! is a fairly casual game, at least in comparison to story-based titles such as Birdie Crush , it is also a game that boasts stunning graphics, tons of game modes and features, and realistic physics that go far beyond your standard PvP sports game. It’s one of those “easy to play, hard to master” titles, but with far more depth, and that means you probably won’t pick it up overnight.

But we’re here to help make that learning curve much more manageable, so if you want to win more consistently regardless of the mode you choose to focus on, we suggest checking out this Ultimate Golf! beginner’s guide, which features 13 tips, tricks and strategies that cover all the modes and all the key features of the game.

1. The Basics Of Ultimate Golf!

In a way, it can be said that Ultimate Golf! is an off-brand version of Golf Clash , with very similar mechanics and gameplay. There are some subtle differences, but at the end of the day, you might not need much practice if you’ve played the latter game before. As you’ll see in the tutorial stages, everything starts out with a quick run-through of how to swing your golf club and how to putt. When swinging your club, simply tap-and-hold on the ball, then drag your finger backward in such a way that the ball fits perfectly in the circle below.

Once you’ve stabilized your aim, keep an eye on the movement of the power meter — you want to let go of your finger in such a way that the needle is as close as possible to the center. If you let go at just the right time and the needle is at the center, then that’s an Ultimate Shot, which means you’re swinging with optimum power and increasing your chances of getting as close to the hole as possible.

If you miss the center by a bar or two, then that’s a Great Shot, which isn’t bad at all but isn’t perfect either. Fail to land anywhere at the center and you may be in trouble, though since this is the tutorial stage, you don’t need to worry about missing badly just yet.

After getting to swing your club once, you will then be taught how to putt, which is, for the benefit of those who aren’t too familiar with the jargon, to gently shoot the ball into the hole with your putter (i.e. one of the many types of club you can use in the game), provided the ball is in the green and in putting distance. You will again have to tap-and-hold on the ball and drag your finger backward, but instead of a power meter, you will see a path headed toward the hole appear on your screen.

Make sure this path actually ends up at the hole, and once you do, let go of your finger when the moving arrow is centered. If the arrow ends up at the left or the right, then that’s where the ball is going to travel, thus resulting in a missed putt attempt. This could be a very crucial mistake when you’re actually playing against human opponents.

Once you’ve learned how to swing and how to putt, you will be pitted against another player in Head-to-Head mode, though as far as we know, this is an AI-controlled player who won’t be very hard to beat, considering you are still in the tutorial stage. Don’t be confused by the buttons on the lower right corner of the screen that say “Swing!”, for instance — this does not introduce a new mechanic at all!

Just tap on that button to be taken to the course, and swing your club like you normally would. (There is something else on this screen that’s far more important, and that’s the placement of the pin — we shall discuss that a couple of tips from now.)

As is the case in all games you will be playing after the tutorial, your goal is to put the ball in the hole in as few attempts possible. You can get an eagle if you end up two strokes under par, which is sinking the shot in two fewer attempts than expected, and a birdie if you’re one strike under par — this is what you’ll typically want to aim for in your first few games.

Conversely, you’ll want to avoid getting a bogey or worse — a bogey is golfing terminology for ending up one stroke over par, a double bogey means you’re two strokes over par, and so on! If both players take the same number of shots in order to get the ball in the hole, you’ll need to play a tiebreaker round, where the player who’s closest to the pinned location wins the game.

As you’ll find out after that tutorial match, you will earn coins and trophies for winning a game against someone else in Head-to-Head mode, though if you lose, you will be docked some trophies, typically fewer than the ones you can earn after winning a game. You will also lose the buy-in fee you paid to enter that H2H match.

For the first tour, that’s 100 coins, so if you win the match, you win 200 coins, and if you lose, then you lose 100. These trophies determine which tour you will be playing in by default — higher tours mean more trophies, but also mean tougher opponents, so be guided accordingly when challenging other players in Head-to-Head play!

2. You Can Only Hold Four Mystery Bags At Once

The prize bags you can receive for winning a game in Ultimate Golf! are called Mystery Bags, and depending on how rare they are, they may take anywhere from a few hours to several before they get unlocked. Much like in other sports games with a similar system for prize redemption, you can only hold four Mystery Bags and unlock one of them at a time. That means if you keep on playing after your four Mystery Bag slots are all filled up, any prizes you win will be forfeited — unless you’ve got enough cash to instantly open the bag.

That said, you have the option to skip the wait time by paying cash, but since that’s the game’s premium currency, it would be far better to wait it out in most cases. (The exception, of course, would be if you’re flush with cash and can afford to part ways with some of it in order to expedite the unlocking process.)

Another thing you need to remember about opening Mystery Bags in Ultimate Golf! is that you need to manually unlock them. It’s not as simple as beating an opponent and winning a bag, with the game setting up the unlocking process the moment the bag is placed in one of your slots. You would need to manually tap on the bag and choose to unlock it — this is a common mistake for new players, but just to reiterate what we said earlier, those Mystery Bags aren’t going to open themselves!

What’s in these Mystery Bags anyway? The contents may vary depending on which tour you win them in, or the rarity of the bag. However, you will typically end up with some coins, cash, and Season Points, though you may also end up with some cards, which could allow you to unlock new clubs or upgrade the ones you already have! You may also end up with some special balls aside from the basic one you have, though we shall be discussing this later on in the guide and, just to keep your expectations realistic, it won’t be very often when you end up with a new ball after opening a Mystery Bag.

3. Setting The Pin Properly Could Turn The Tide, Especially In H2H Games

Earlier, we mentioned that you shouldn’t get thrown off by the “Swing!” button that appears on the bottom right during Head to Head games. What you should be paying much closer attention to here is the pin, which is the center part of the white circle where the light blue line comes to an end. You can choose to leave it as is and simply swing away — that shouldn’t be much of an issue in the first few tours. But when you’re competing against more experienced opponents with dozens, or even hundreds of trophies, setting the pin at the right spot could make a world of difference.

Take note that an Ultimate or Great Shot will always be relative to where the pin is placed — if you don’t pin your target properly, even the most “ultimate” of Ultimate Shots won’t help you gain an advantage over your opponent. Pinning it strategically, however, could be the difference-maker you need to defeat the other player and avoid those nail-biting tiebreakers.

If possible, it’s best to set the pin as close as possible to the hole, which is designated by a blue flag. The default pin location, as suggested by the game, is usually the safest spot, but if you have the potential to get the ball even farther, then go for it. You will also need to take certain factors into account, such as the speed and direction of the wind.

In our example, the wind is blowing 1.6 mph to the left, which means if you’re trying to set the pin as closely as possible to the hole, you may want to set it a bit to the right, so as to take the potential impact of the wind into account. You’ve also got to consider the nearby terrain, because obviously, it is a very bad idea to set the pin close to a sand trap or to the water!

4. Take Your Time, But Don’t Take Too Long!

When the time comes for you to challenge other human players in Ultimate Golf!, that’s when it becomes important to time the release of your finger properly so that you can make an Ultimate Shot when swinging, and later on, putt the ball so that it gets to the hole in one attempt. It’s not a good idea to rush things, though if the nerves get to you, then making a rushed swing or putt would be inevitable.

That means it’s best to take your time and make absolutely sure you’re as close to the center as possible when releasing your finger, but you also don’t want to linger too long while looking at the meters for swinging and putting. The former is more difficult than the latter when it comes to timing your release so that it comes when the needle (or indicator) is right in the middle of the meter.

But take note that you don’t need to hit an Ultimate Shot all the time — a Great Shot should do the trick in most cases, and even if your swing results in an Ultimate Shot, there’s a possibility it won’t be enough if you’re matched against a much tougher opponent.

What happens if you take too long to swing or putt? First, the game will notify you that time is running out, and when it runs out, that already counts as an attempt/stroke, and that could put you at a serious disadvantage against your opponent. So with that in mind, feel free to take your time when swinging and putting, but don’t dwell on it so much — it may take some time to get used to, but you should eventually master the art of the perfect swing and/or putt.

5. Be Careful Not To Use Too Much Or Too Little Power When Putting

On the surface, putting looks very easy. You’re only a few feet away from the hole, so all you need to do is to essentially tap it, making sure that your aim is as centered as possible and that you are using just the right amount of power when putting. However, it’s the latter part that could prove tricky for many players; releasing your finger once the indicator is at the middle is easier than it is when swinging, but the tough part is making sure your putt doesn’t fall too flat or too sharp due to a lack of — or excess — power.

Ideally, you want to pull your finger back in such a way that the path doesn’t go too far beyond the hole, but doesn’t fall short of it either. If the path extends too far, not even releasing your finger once the arrow hits the middle would be enough to guarantee that the ball goes into the hole. Most of the time, it may cross the side of the hole but ultimately miss, and there may even be some times when the ball would actually go into the hole, only to bounce out because you put too much momentum into your putt! (The wind could also play a factor in those instances where the ball goes in but bounces back out.) That can be very frustrating, especially if the shot looks like a total gimme from just a few feet away.

On the other hand, having barely too short a path to the hole will have you falling a few inches or a couple of feet short in most cases, though if it’s any consolation, the chances of the ball ending up further away from the hole after a miss are very, very slim. It’s still a mistake you’ll want to avoid making, and the best way to avoid it is to make sure you’re creating a path to the hole that’s just right in terms of its length — not too long and not too short.

6. Go Down To The Lower Tours If You’re On A Losing Streak!

Unfortunately, Ultimate Golf! does not come with a no-stakes practice mode where you can practice your swinging and putting technique without having to worry about losing your entry fee or getting docked some trophies after a tense tiebreaker with a human opponent. But if you’re having some difficulty winning matches against other players in your current Head-to-Head tour, one good way of regrouping is to move back down to a lower tour and see if you can recapture your form against less formidable, less experienced opponents.

Granted, there’s always a chance you may be paired against another player who’s “slumming it” in these lower tours for one reason or another, but with a lower entry fee and fewer trophies at stakes, that should reduce the pressure and could potentially help you bounce back after a rough patch.

If all else fails, however, it’s always a good idea to stop playing for at least a couple hours or so!  Momentarily leaving the game after a brutal string of defeats could help clear your mind and regain your focus, so don’t pressure yourself too much if those bogeys are becoming far more common than birdies.

7. Claim Your Free Bags And Pin Bags

Aside from the Mystery Bags you can earn after winning games in Head-to-Head, you can also redeem Free Bags, which become available every four hours. The contents of the Free Bags may vary, but will usually be similar to what you can receive in the Mystery Bags. You will get some coins and some cash (emphasis on some), but instead of Season Points, it will be far more common for you to receive cards that allow you to unlock new clubs or upgrade existing ones.

As you’ll find out later in this guide, you’ll need those higher-end clubs as you progress from one tour to the next and face more formidable opponents, so you should definitely open free bags when they’re available.

Considering how free bags are available every four hours, it’s possible for most players to open four a day, or maybe five if you’re having a particularly sleepless night. We advise you to turn on notifications so that even if you’re not playing the game actively, you will be informed if there’s a free bag to be opened. You may not get too much currency, but as it always does in these games, it should keep adding up over time as long as you open free bags on a regular basis.

In addition to Free Bags, you can also open a Pin Bag for every 12 Head-to-Head matches you win or tie. These contain coins, cash, club cards, and balls, so this is a good way to add to your currency stash and golfing equipment, as well as a way to encourage you to keep playing in order to improve your chances of winning more games/matches regardless of the mode!

8. Complete More Missions To Earn Season Points And Cash

Next to the Free Bag button, you will see a button that allows you to view your missions, which are basic tasks that you can complete organically while playing more games in Ultimate Golf! These include Daily Missions, which cover certain tasks that should be completed within the same day in Eastern time — for example, you may be asked to complete in a Tournament round, reach the white ring in Big Shot mode, or simply win a certain number of Head-to-Head games.

Weekly Missions are similar, except that you have one whole week to complete them — these may cover winning a certain number of games in a given mode, or earning coins in Head-to-Head, Tournament, or whatnot. Finally, you’ve got your Seasonal Missions, which cover the entire month, or season of play in Ultimate Golf!

The numbers you may need to reach will be much higher, and there’s typically just one Seasonal Mission you need to complete — for April, you need to score 35 birdies in any mode, and for that, you can earn 300 Season Points and 100 cash — that is quite a lot, but if you just downloaded the game a few days ago, then don’t fret, because a new month is about to start, allowing you to get cracking on the next Seasonal Mission from day one!

For the other missions, you’ll usually get a few dozen Season Points and about 1, 2, or 3 cash, depending on whether it’s a Daily or Weekly Mission. But where do these Season Points come into play and what’s in it for you if you accumulate enough of them?

9. Level Up Within The Season And Earn Some Attractive Rewards

Regarding the Season Points we were referring to in the last tip and briefly mentioned in the others, these come into play by allowing you to level up within the season, thus entitling you to some particularly exciting rewards. You can access this by tapping on the season tab next to the free bag in the main screen, then heading to the Rewards tab next to Missions.

You will notice two columns in the Rewards tab — one for players with a Free Pass, and another for those with an Ultimate Pass. As your season level increases, you can redeem more rewards in the Free column, or both, if you’re willing to pay $20 for an Ultimate Pass. Free players already have quite a lot to look forward to — reaching season level 1 gets you 1,000 coins and a Silver Mystery Bag, while making it to level 4 will earn you three Spyder balls.

Make it all the way to the highest levels and you can get 50 cash at level 28, one Cleaner ball at level 29, and one Head-to-Head pass at level 30. Basically, it’s gold, cash, Mystery Bags, and balls for the most part, and much more of each than what you can normally expect as a reward for winning a quick Head-to-Head game.

Those who have the Ultimate Pass can get even better rewards, including one H2H pass at level 1, a Diamond Mystery Bag at level 2, and 12 Pro D1 balls at level 3. Great as those are for players willing to pay $20 worth of real-life money, they get even better as you go on — you can get 12 Wise Guy balls at level 28 and 25 of them at level 30, and two H2H Passes at level 29. 20 bucks may be a lot of real currency to invest, but as you can see with those rewards, it should be worth it if you can afford it.

10. Upgrade Your Better Clubs On A Regular Basis

As we mentioned earlier in this guide, using a basic club won’t be sufficient once you reach the second tour; the basic one may be all well and good for beginners, but the others come with enhanced stats that you can further improve by upgrading them once you have enough cards to do so. Go to the Golf Bag menu and you can manage your inventory of clubs, which is divided into several categories — Driver, Wood, Long Iron, Short Iron, Wedge, Rough Iron, Sand Wedge, and Putter.

Each of these club types will be selected automatically when playing in any of the different game modes, and it will all depend on the situation at hand. For example, Sand Wedges, as the name suggests, are used when the ball ends up in a sand trap, while Putters, obviously, are used when you’re putting the ball.

Each club is rated based on six stats or attributes, namely Power, Accuracy, Draw/Fade, Top Spin, Back Spin, and Shot View. Power affects how far you can hit the ball when swinging, Accuracy affects the speed in which the needle moves when you’re swinging the club, the next three stats come into play when influencing the movement of the ball after it’s been put into play, and Shot View affects how well you can see the target when setting pin locations.

These stats will, of course, improve once you upgrade a club, and you can only upgrade it once you’ve collected enough cards. Keep in mind that while one card is all you need to unlock a club, certain clubs only become available among your rewards once you reach a certain tour.

As it costs progressively more coins to level up your clubs, it’s best to focus on the ones with the better stats; that may be easier said than done when you’re in the first few tours and haven’t collected too many, but you will, at some point, have to move on from the less impressive clubs that you have, regardless of type, and shift your focus toward the ones you unlocked in more recent tours. As such, it’s best to level up your earlier clubs only a few times; overdoing it might leave you short when it comes to buy-in fees for H2H games!

11. Save Your Special Balls For Big Games

Balls are the second type of golfing equipment you can collect in Ultimate Golf!, and unlike clubs, they do not come in card form once you earn them via Mystery Bags, Pin Bags, and other means. Instead, any and all special balls you may earn or purchase are consumable; basic balls are unlimited and do not come with any special properties, while the special ones are limited and offer certain advantages once they’re used in a game.

For instance, the Cruzer offers 15 percent less wind resistance, additional 25 percent sidespin, a 2 percent larger putt zone, and a 2 percent shorter putt meter. The Pro D1, which is a rarer ball than the Cruzer, adds 7 percent power, reduces wind resistance by a whopping 50 percent, improves sidespin by a full 100 percent, and offers several more advantages apart from the ones we mentioned. Naturally, it’s much harder to come by as a reward, and if you choose to buy it in bundle form, you’ll need a ton of premium currency to make the purchase.  (Putting it in perspective, you can buy 10 Cruzer balls for 30 cash and 200 for 600 cash, with the cost going up to 750 cash for 10 Pro D1 balls and 15,000 cash for 200 of them. Ouch.)

All in all, there are seven balls that are regularly available in the game, including the basic one. (Other special balls may be available as limited-time season or event rewards.) But even if you’ve collected quite a few of these balls, it’s still best to save them for the bigger games and higher tours; unless you’re trying to complete a mission, it’s just not practical to use them in the early goings.

12. Compete In Tournament Mode To Win More Non-Basic Balls And Gold Bags

When playing Ultimate Golf!, you will likely spend most of your time in Head-to-Head mode, playing one-on-one matches against individual opponents. But there are other game modes where you can compete against several other players in real-time, including Ultimate Golf Tournament. The rules may change from tournament to tournament, but many of them stay the same — you and other players will play nine holes in a real-life golf course, and those who have the best score after nine holes have a chance to win some really attractive prizes, including Gold Mystery Bags, special or non-basic balls, and thousands of coins.

Even if you fail to make it to the top 20, or even top 30, you can still end up with a silver bag, some special balls, and a few hundred coins, which isn’t bad — take note, however, that each tournament has an entrance fee, depending on the difficulty you choose.

For example, the Amateur Tournament costs 1,000 coins to enter, though if you end up first, you will win 10,000 coins as part of the top prize. (Provided you are already qualified, you can also elect to join the Rookie, Veteran, Pro, and Tour Pro tournaments, which are in order of difficulty after Amateur.)

As you’ll see when viewing the tournament info, it’s not just the golf course that is fixed — there are other pre-set parameters, such as the range of the wind speed and the speed in which the needle moves around the meter when you’re attempting a swing. Another key element of each tournament is the option to replay the tourney as long as it remains active. For the Amateur Tournament, you have a maximum of 25 replays, though you can only replay your round if you’ve already completed all nine holes the first time.

13. Other Game Modes – Golf Royale And Big Shot

The other two available game modes in Ultimate Golf! are Golf Royale and Big Shot, and for the first one, this can be best described as a “battle royale”-type competition with more than a hundred players and various difficulties to choose from, just like in Tournament Mode. There are also different types of Royale Events, and these are only live for a limited period of time; it’s highly possible that you may access this mode only to see that none of the events are currently ongoing. You can enter an event 10 minutes or less before it starts, upon which you will be directed to a lobby of sorts before the event kicks off. (Unfortunately for those who would like to get social, the chat feature is currently inactive.)

Events in Golf Royale have varying rules, though one of the more popular rules would be to get the ball as close to the pin as possible. Each event has multiple rounds, and you’ll need to finish no lower than a certain position in order to make the cutoff to the next round. So with that in mind, your ability to hit an Ultimate Shot will be put to the test in many a Golf Royale event. There is, of course, an entry fee for each event, as well as rewards for the top players — these may include mystery bags, special balls, and coins, though the prizes here aren’t as attractive as they are in Tournament Mode.

The last game mode is Big Shot, and the goal, as stated, is to land the ball in the target to win a prize — if you hit the yellow target, you can win a particularly rare Mystery Bag, as well as 12 Mojave balls and 150 cash, though if you end up in the red, blue, or white zones, you will still win something — a lower-end, yet similarly loaded Mystery Bag, anywhere from 5 to 12 special balls, and 50 to 120 cash, depending on where you land. Fail to hit any of the targets and you don’t win anything.

Big Shot is, in all honesty, quite an easy mode to play in terms of the mechanics — again, your ability to hit an Ultimate Shot, albeit with a faster meter, would be put to the test. But you only have one free attempt at a Big Shot per day hence the name! If you need a few more chances at reaching the target, you’ll need to pay $2 or its local equivalent to get three additional shots.

There you have it! This concludes our comprehensive guide for Miniclips’s latest golf title, Ultimate Golf!! If you have come across additional tips or tricks, feel free to drop us a line in the comments below!

WORLD'S 100 GREATEST HOLES

Akshay Bhatia admitted something most players would not about his short miss at the Rocket Mortgage Classic

If professional golf taught us anything in the month of June, it's that no putt is a "gimme." Rory McIlroy served as the most painful example at the U.S. Open, while Akshay Bhatia served as the latest on Sunday at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

RELATED: Cam Young's pursuit of a first PGA Tour win derailed by snapped driver

Bhatia's second-to-last putt of the week, which would have secured him a spot in a playoff with Cam Davis, missed from 4 feet 3 inches. But it was the putt before that, which came from 32 feet 1 inch, that he'd much rather have back. 

The 22-year-old was tentative on the greens for much of the back nine, leaving a number of putts short for safety reasons rather than aggressively going after the win. The strategy nearly worked up until the 72nd green, when his birdie effort to win left him with a lengthy par effort just to tie. In fairness, bumpy, poa annua greens like the ones at Detroit Golf Club tend to get much slower as the day rolls on. While he did acknowledge that was a factor, he didn't use it as an excuse. 

Bhatia instead admitted something that probably produced a smile from former NBC analyst Johnny Miller - he was a bit nervous. 

"I mean, it's hard, you've got so much slope there so you don't want to run it five, six feet by," Bhatia said. "Yeah, just a little bit of nerves, honestly. I'm human."

Nerves, Johnny. Nerves. 

Johnny Miller jokes aside, it's somewhat shocking to hear a player actually admit this. It used to be just Miller who would blurt it out, to the point it became a running joke. But for a player himself to admit nerves got to him, that's not something you hear every week. McIlroy, for comparison's sake, made no mention of nerves in his post-U.S. Open statement . 

"It sucks, no other way to put it," Bhatia said. "I mean, just sucks."

Nerves, of course, can be a good thing. It means you're feeling something, you care. Bhatia has felt nerves before and won before, twice, to be exact, and both times in a playoff. He knows how to handle them. He'll be just fine.

How much did Marcel Siem win at the 2024 Italian Open? DP World Tour event's prize money payouts explored

M arcel Siem won the 2024 Italian Open on Sunday. The German golfer beat Tom McKibbin in a playoff to victory at Adriatic Golf Club Cervia in Milano Marittima, Ravenna, Italy. For the unversed, this was Siem's sixth win on the DP World Tour.

The European golfer tied at 10-under 274 with McKibbin on Sunday. However, he came out on top of the sudden-death playoff he initiated by making a 22-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole. The win saw Siem add $556,000 to his career earnings.

While Siem took the major share of the Italian Open's $3,250,000 purse, the Northern Irishman got $359,000 for second place.

Sean Crocker and Jannik De Bruyn finished a shot behind the leaders. The duo tied for third place without making it into the playoff. The duo won around $185,000 each. Adri Arnaus, James Nicholas, Andrea Pavan, Antoine Rozner and Shubhankar Sharma won just over $101,000 each for finishing T5 in Italy.

Dan Bradbury and Aaron Cockerill were among the 12 players who shared T10. They won $48,000 each. Notably, Casey Jarvis and Rikard Karlberg shared the last position on the Italian Open 's 67-man leaderboard. The duo returned home with $7035 each.

The golden tee world championships are going on in las vegas — and the purse is significant, share this article.

Who among us hasn’t thrown a few quarters in a Golden Tee machine while trying to impress friends with our knowledge of world courses, right?

Well, the stakes are a little higher than the next round of pints this weekend in Las Vegas as the Golden Tee World Championship is being held at The Palms Casino Resort.

The 5-course arcade qualifier begins at 2 p.m. ET and is being streamed live on the Golden Tee YouTube page .

The prize pool for this year’s event is $160,000. A total of 96 arcade players will compete for today’s cash prize of $35,000, with nine open qualifying spots available for last-minute hopefuls.

“We expect this to be a landmark year for the Golden Tee World Championships,” Kevin Lindsay, head of amusement marketing Incredible Technologies told RePlay Magazine . “On top of a record prize pool, our team has put a lot of thought into this year’s event, and we know this will set the bar for what players can expect in years to come. Both the game and brand of Golden Tee have a lot of momentum to build upon.”

Last year’s champion, Paul Tayloe, is among those on hand for the festivities.

WATCH: PGA Tour winner makes 432 foot putt for potential record

• Follow on Twitter

Wesley Bryan in April at the Corales Puntacana Championship.

It wasn’t done with artificial intelligence, one of his social media accounts said. Though someone had asked the question. 

“Real funny,” the account replied. 

It also wasn’t made on a first attempt, it said. It took a while.

But then Wesley Bryan dropped the putt. From 144 yards out. Or 432 feet. Recently shared on the social-media accounts shared by Bryan and his brother, George, the putt by the one-time PGA Tour winner could be the longest-ever made.

The video of it lasted just about 20 seconds, and the putt itself took 14 seconds to go from the fairway to the hole. Bryan took nearly a full swing with his putter, the ball rolled about 25 feet left to right, it dipped just before the green, it tracked toward the hole — then it fell and the party started. Shouts. A chest-bump. 

Of course, there are some questions, with one being: Is it a record?

Maybe. 

In the replies to the post on the Bryan brothers’ Twitter account , the account said they hadn’t contacted the Guinness folks. (The process to verify a record can be found here .) But the putt would surpass the current record holder at Guinness — on its site , it lists a 401 foot, 2 inch putt as the longest to drop. (Notably, the Guinness site also lists a 111 foot, 5 inch putt, by Craig Barlow in 2008, as the longest putt made in a PGA Tour event, and it says a 110-footer, by Nick Price at the 1992 PGA Championship, is the longest putt to fall in a major.) 

Was Bryan’s real, though? 

One at least has to ask. In a reply to the post on the Bryan brothers’ Instagram account , the account offered the “real funny” reply when a commenter wrote: “AI is getting really good huh.” It said there were numerous attempts, too. The Bryan brothers also practically invented YouTube golf , and they’ve been hitting various shots and playing various matches for years. 

Below is the video to Bryan’s putt. Below that are links to the Guinness records.

WGT VIRTUAL GOLF : amazing how realistic this site is and the courses match spot on in which course your playing. St. Andrew’s architectural design matches everything from bunkers positioning fairway and greens as if your playing the actual course. I was a avid Golfer and golf was my favorite hobby in life. I became disabled and was seriously depressed, till I was shown WGT GOLF APP. I can share with you that this is everything you’d do in real golf, from the top choices of clubs, drivers and balls. I have a Taylormade driver, Galloway clubs, Titelist balls. When hitting you need to adjust your shots according to the wind. Around the greens are so cool, you can chip, pitch, punch of hit a flop shot. Also on the greens the lines show the breaks and speed of greens and reading them is challenging, just as if you were playing the course. One last thing, I’ve played on 1800 days straight and the Xps are huge and when you join one of the hundreds of county clubs those XPs help your club win different tee & flag designs + helps your standing. Also a shout out to WGT CUSTOMER SERVICE, always welcomes your requests and any questions you have. Please let me know if you join I’d enjoy playing a H2H match with you.

consecutive play

WGT is an excellent golf game, part one of the best ones out there. The first time was back in 2013 when I reached 500 consecutive plays reset back to one and it did it two more times after that, not understand why but by the fourth time I was playing with someone and she told me I was in the lady that was playing with basically stated every time you reach 500 is going to reset back to one. I told her, that’s the reason why. But WT, I was able to send them a message or email and they did restore it. also ran across some problems during holidays that are set back to one and they would take care of it. But for the past seven years, I have worked with Dylan and she plays at least twice a day. I was at 2611 consecutive play so I sent an email and they restored it only took 2555. so I sent him another email stating that not where I was. Could they please restore it to 2611? So after that couple of days later, it reset back to one. if it was my fault, I truly understand but I’ve been very diligent because I enjoyed this game. So if some of you have that problem, they won’t restore what you work so hard. Thanks guys. So I emailed them again and so far they haven’t responded, but the response was we were no longer reinstating your consecutive. If it was my fault, I truly understand but I’ve been very diligent because I enjoyed this game. So if some of you have that problem, they won’t restore what you work so hard. Thanks guys.

High Quality but Too Much Inconsistency

This is the most realistic golf game there is for iOS. The courses look beautiful and the head-to-head competition makes it matter more. Others have discussed the expensive balls that run out of hits quickly. Unfortunately, the free basic ball hurts your game badly. However, my biggest issue is the inconsistency in the AI. It actually seems like it chooses the winner at times. You consider the wind speed and direction, choose the best club for the shot, and determine what percentage of the power meter you want to hit with, based on the club’s maximum distance. With practice, you gradually get better at this process and you become more and more accurate. Unfortunately, there are times where the game decides that, regardless of your skills and how you play, your ball is going somewhere like a bunker, water hazard, or just way too far or short. Several times, I have had a ball go 20-30 yards beyond the club’s maximum distance while hitting at less than full power into a 15-20mph wind. This often happens when there is a bunker or water hazard behind the green and the game apparently wants me to go there. Of course, putting me in the water means the expensive ball I purchased is now lost and I have to pay more if I want to get a new one. I think the most frustrating thing about these inconsistencies is that they seem to occur when I have been winning a lot and it feels like an attempt at keeping players relatively even.

2024 John Deere Classic Full Field: Three of World Top 30 Heading to Quad Cities

John schwarb | 4 hours ago.

The PGA Tour’s two-week Midwestern swing moves from Detroit to Silvis, Ill., to a tournament that has served as a springboard for a few now-household names. 

Jordan Spieth is now a multiple major champion bound for the Hall of Fame; in 2012 he was a 19-year-old breaking through at the John Deere Classic for a historic win. 

Bryson DeChambeau is now known as a two-time U.S. Open champion and YouTube star, but in 2017 he was also winning for the first time at TPC Deere Run.

Payne Stewart, remembered once again at the Pinehurst U.S. Open that DeChambeau just won, broke through for the first time on the PGA Tour in 1982 at what was then called the Miller High Life Quad Cities Open.

The John Deere Classic doesn’t draw the game’s best players due to where it falls in the schedule (the signature-event Travelers was two weeks ago, the British Open is in two weeks), but might another career be launched come Sunday?

There are three players scheduled to compete in the top 30 of the world rankings: No. 24 (and defending champion) Sepp Straka, No. 27 Jason Day and No. 28. Sungjae Im. Two-time champion Jordan Spieth is just outside that at No. 32. Patrick Cantlay, No. 8 in the world, withdrew Monday.

They’ll all take on TPC Deere Run, one of the Tour’s preeminent birdie-fest courses. Only three times since 2009 has the winning score not cracked 20 under around the 7,289-yard par-71 layout.

Here’s the field of 156 from the PGA Tour X account, follow this post all week for any field adjustments.

Two adjustments approved for Signature Events in 2025

Metrics show new competitive structure is delivering against objectives

Change Text Size

Two adjustments to the PGA TOUR’s Signature Events highlighted a PGA TOUR Policy Board/PGA TOUR Enterprises Board joint meeting in Hartford, Connecticut, on Tuesday.

The news went out to players Tuesday night as many of them prepared to play in the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, the last of eight Signature Events this season.

The changes were approved after the PGA TOUR Policy Board’s comprehensive review of the 2024 schedule and competitive framework, which has met expectations to deliver a strong product to fans and sponsors. As such, it will continue apace next season with two modifications.

The first adjustment will impose a minimum field size of 72 players for the Signature Events. Although eligible players participated in Signature Events with no mandatory participation requirement this year, the eight Signature Events saw an average of one eligible player not participate, with two events having 100 percent participation and one event having a maximum of three players not participate.

The other adjustment to the Signature Events will introduce a Sponsor Exemption for Lifetime Achievement – 80 or more career victories – to recognize Tiger Woods in his own category. Among his 82 career wins, Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard eight times and the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday five times. Both are Signature Events.

“It was important to our membership. It's something we talked about with the PAC. It was important to our player directors. It was important to our board. It's important to me because the man, as the exemption says, has won more than 80 events," PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan said during a media session at the Travelers Championship. "And I think being able to give him the opportunity to compete in these events, any event he's ever played in, he's made it bigger, he's made it better. He's drawn more eyeballs to it. I think just as an organization, we wanted to celebrate his exceptionalism in that manner."

Throughout this review, there was discussion around applying a cut uniformly at all Signature Events, with the perspective that it could provide consistency and more excitement for fans. While no change was made by the Board during the meeting, this subject will continue to be studied throughout the remainder of the year, and as part of this process, the TOUR will garner feedback from players, title sponsors and fans.

The Policy Board also approved a proposal to delay the first collective reshuffle of all conditional categories until players in the 126-150 category have had the chance to play in approximately 3-4 Full-Field events. After that, regular reshuffles throughout the remainder of the season will continue. Exact reshuffle dates for the 2025 season will be finalized following the release of the 2025 schedule.

Other than the two adjustments to the Signature Events, Tuesday's memo delineated how the new competitive framework has delivered on its objectives and aligned with models and projections. It reduced the number of Signature Events for a schedule cadence that allows for the most flexibility for the players; succeeded in bringing the best players together more often; and preserved access points from outside the prior year’s FedExCup top 50 thanks to the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5 .

According to the metrics from this season:

• Players in the top 50 of the prior season’s FedExCup have participated in an average of five Full-Field events, with the strength of field for Full-Field events (as measured by top 50 and top 125 participation) seeing an increase of 35 percent, YOY.
• In addition to the top 50 players eligible for each Signature Event, 65 unique players have accessed one Signature Event this season (projections estimated 70).
• 51-70 Prior Season FEC = 20 players
• 71-125 Prior Season FEC = 17 players
• Other = 28 players
• Top 50 retention rate through the U.S. Open is 64 percent – 18 new players moving into the top 50 – which meets projections for the season of 64 percent.
• Top 125 retention rate is 74 percent, or 32 new players moving into the top 125 (the historical average under the old points model was 74 percent).
• No significant changes from historical values for the points needed to make the top 70, with current projections of 578 (lower), 627 (average) and 724 (upper). For comparison, it took 617 points to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs last season as a top 70.

DP World Tour’s Italian Open sees ‘Comeback King’ Marcel Siem triumph in playoff

Share All sharing options for: DP World Tour’s Italian Open sees ‘Comeback King’ Marcel Siem triumph in playoff

The DP World Tour has officially awarded Marcel Siem as the ‘Comeback King,’ and rightfully so. The 43-year-old Siem underwent hip surgery in February, roughly one year after winning the Hero Indian Open, which marked his first title since 2014.

He subsequently missed three months, returning to the Soudal Open in late May, where he missed the cut. Siem said he felt old that week because of his hip, a far cry from the emotions he felt on the 18th green on Sunday. The German defeated Tom McKibbin of Northern Ireland in a sudden-death playoff, making an 8-footer for birdie on 18 to clinch his sixth career victory on the DP World Tour.

“Holing that putt on 18 was one the coolest moments in golf for me, and doing it again in a playoff was fantastic,” Siem said.

“I love this sport, and these moments, I work really hard for them. When you get rewarded like this, it’s a very special moment. I think it’s the second-oldest trophy in mainland Europe. So I’ve got the French Open and this one now. I’m so proud of that. My journey is just beginning, it feels like.”

Siem looked in control of the tournament after birdieing the par-3 8th, as he went on to card a 3-under 32 on the front to make the turn at 13-under overall.

But the train veered off the tracks for Siem on his second nine. He bogeyed the par-4 11th, thanks to a terrible lie he faced to the right of the green. He then went on to bogey the 14th, 16th, and 17th holes, dropping him to 9-under-par for the championship and in a dire situation.

While Siem faltered down the stretch, McKibbin, who carded a 6-under 65 earlier in the day, waited in the clubhouse at 10-under-par. The 21-year-old from Belfast looked unflappable on Sunday, making six birdies to zero bogies. He posted the lowest round of the day at the Adriatic Golf Club Cervia—located on the Italian coast about 100 miles south of Venice. He waited three hours to see if he would make a playoff, but it was almost good enough for the victory.

Meanwhile, Siem, who has a penchant for bouncing back, did just that on the 72nd hole. He holed a 22-footer for birdie to match McKibbin and force a playoff, which he wound up winning.

Now, the German has two goals in his career: to play in the Ryder Cup and make it to the Masters. He has never played at Augusta National before. But if he can secure another victory this year on the DP World Tour and shoot up the season-long rankings, perhaps he will earn his PGA Tour card in December through the top 10 eligibility rankings.

Beginning last year, the top 10 players—not otherwise exempt—in the final DP World Tour standings received invitations to join the PGA Tour. Matthieu Pavon took full advantage of this opportunity—the Frenchman earned his PGA Tour card in December and then won the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in January, which booked his ticket to Augusta.

Maybe Siem can follow a similar blueprint, but he still has some work to do. His win propelled him 95 places in the Race to Dubai standings, yet he sits in 31st.

Nevertheless, he had already qualified for the Open Championship at Royal Troon , so perhaps the ‘Comeback King’ can make some noise there.

The same mantra applies to McKibbin, who, as a consolation prize, earned a trip to Royal Troon via the Open Qualifying Series. The R&A invited the top two finishers from the Italian Open—not otherwise exempt—to join the field of 156 in Scotland in three weeks. Sean Cocker of the United States received the other invite.
