Golf Clash fans can practice to earn a chance to compete in THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass today, marking the first time such an opportunity is available in the game. This event signals the beginning of a multi-year partnership between EA SPORTS, Playdemic and PGA TOUR to incorporate a variety of real-life golf courses and iconic events into Golf Clash in the years to come.
As a way to commemorate the occasion, nine holes from THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass are now accessible. Golf Clash enthusiasts are encouraged to explore the courses during the available practice rounds.
From March 9 to 10, players can earn the chance to participate in the qualification rounds of THE PLAYERS Championship 9-Hole Cup in-game. Those who make it to the next round can compete in the tournament until March 11. Additionally, all Golf Clash players have the opportunity to try for a hole-in-one at the renowned 17th hole in THE PLAYERS Golden Shot event, which could lead to rewards and a distinct in-game TPC Sawgrass ball that has an official license.
Golf Clash is available and free on iOS, Android, Amazon and Facebook.
