What a weekend it was. After three spectacular days at The Orleans Casino and Hotel, after a seemingly endless amount of nail-bitter matches and cheers in the fantastic, 800-seat showroom, only one player was left standing.

Congratulations to Missouri’s Evan Gossett on winning the Golden Tee World Championship. Gossett, who closed at 9/1 at The Orleans Sportsbook, will now be a playable (and play-against-able) player in Golden Tee 2019. (More on that soon.) He's also $20,000 richer.

A full recap will come in the next few days as we sleep and recharge—as well as photos and videos.

For now, some thanks. Thank you The Orleans, to Boyd Gaming, to the players and to everyone else who came out.
