The Virtual U.S. Open Qualifying Round: May 25 – June 21

The countdown has begun for the Virtual U.S. Open Championship. We here at WGT have had the pleasure of playing the full 18 holes and let us speak from experience, Bethpage Black is the REAL DEAL. Its slick greens, narrow fairways and gape-inducing scenery will make for an amazing test for all golfers, virtual and otherwise. The US Open players have their work cut out for them on the real Bethpage Black, and so do the rest of us on the virtual Bethpage Black.

The Virtual U.S. Open Qualifying Round begins on May 25 and ends June 21. Players from all over the world will be competing in an “unlimited play” format. This gives all players unlimited rounds to post a score that makes the cut into the Championship round on June 22nd. The system will automatically post your best score. Only the top 156 scores plus ties will qualify for the Championship Round. And on June 22nd, those qualifiers will compete in a single play 18-hole round on Bethpage Black, where they have just one chance to score the round of their life and become the 2009 Virtual U.S. Open Champion. There’s lots of prizes to be had, but only the Champion takes home the trophy and earns a trip to the 2010 U.S. Open Championship at Pebble Beach. For more information on the tournament click here.
