The Golden Tee World Championship returns July 17-20, 2025, at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV—and the road to qualification starts at the end of next week!

As in previous years, 96 total qualifiers will earn their spot in the Arcade division of the 2025 Golden Tee World Championship. While additional qualification methods will be announced soon, the majority of qualifiers will come from Commercial Prize Play contests.

How to Qualify: Commercial Play (65 spots)

A total of 60 players will qualify through monthly Score IT contests in March, April, and May, while an additional five spots will be available via a special "Final Call" event in early June.

All commercial qualifying will be exclusive to GT PGA TOUR 2025 cabinets.

Monthly Qualifying (March - May)

• Top 20 players each month will qualify based on their best 30-game average score.
• To be eligible, players must play at least 30 Prize Play games on the 2025 courses in a given month.
• There is no limit to the number of games you may play, but only your top 30 games will count toward your average.
• In the event of a tie, Total Great Shot Points and Total Golden Tee Points will be used as tiebreakers.
• Only 50-man prize play games, glory invites and prize play invites on 2025 courses listed below will be counted for this.
  • Sahara Dunes
  • Bahama Isles
  • Lexington Stables
  • Palmetto Coast
  • Basin Lake
  • Rocky Hollow
  • Bear Lodge
  • Pine Coast
  • TPC San Antonio
  • TPC River Highlands

Final Call Locked Conditions Qualifier (June 1-8)

• Players will receive a Locked Conditions code to enter the contest.
• The top five players with the best five-course score will earn a qualifying spot.
• The course lineup will be announced on June 1.
• Play as many games as you want during the June 1-8 period to achieve your best score.
• In the event of a tie, Total Great Shot Points and Total Golden Tee Points will be used as tiebreakers.

Important Notes

• Once a player qualifies, they will be removed from future qualifier leaderboards to prevent confusion.
• If a qualified player cannot attend and drops out on or before June 8, their spot will be awarded to the next highest non-qualified player from the same leaderboard in which they originally qualified.
  • For example, if Joe Smith qualified through the April contest but cannot attend, his spot would go to the next highest non-qualified player from the April contest leaderboard.
• If a player drops out after June 8, their spot will be added to the Last Chance CTTP Contest held live in Las Vegas on Friday, July 18.
