Toptracer is giving golfers across the globe the chance to compete against one another virtually at Pebble Beach as the 9-Shot Challenge coincides with a women’s major championship for the first time ever, to celebrate the first staging of the US Women’s Open at the historic venue.
The 9-Shot Challenge presented by the US Women’s Open runs for nine days from July 1-9, with the major itself taking place simultaneously from July 6-9 at Pebble Beach Golf Links in California.This is the first time that Toptracer has launched a 9-Shot Challenge alongside a women’s tournament. The virtual competition is open to all at participating Toptracer Range locations across the world and live leaderboards will be available online at toptracer.com/9shotchallenge. Toptracer has teamed up with the USGA to offer prizes to the top players globally.
With a pair of tickets to either the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst or the 2024 US Women’s Open at Lancaster Country Club up for grabs – along with a $500 American Express gift card – to the top five men and top five women globally, the 9-Shot Challenge will see participants hit approach shots on nine different virtual golf holes at Pebble Beach, as they battle it out for the top spot on global leaderboards.
Testing golfers’ approach play, participants will see where they rank in real-time throughout the duration of the U.S. Women’s Open – with each player’s score determined by the sum of their distances across all nine holes. The lower they score, the higher they will appear on the leaderboard.
In addition to the 9-Shot Challenge, golfers can virtually play Pebble Beach exclusively at Toptracer’s 550-plus eligible driving ranges.
