A familiar format gets a major upgrade—team play is now an official Golden Tee event, complete with its own spotlight and prize pool.

At the 2026 Golden Tee World Championship, taking place from June 11-14 at the Palms Casino Resort, players will have the opportunity to compete not just as individuals, but as duos in the first official Golden Tee World Championship Doubles Tournament.

A $7,000 prize pool adds real stakes to the competition, but the significance goes beyond the payout.

The winning team will become the first official doubles champions in Golden Tee World Championship history. That distinction carries lasting value and sets the foundation for future competition.

This is not just an addition. It is a milestone!

Doubles has long been a staple at National Golden Tee Tour stops, where chemistry and strategy separate the best from the rest. Now, that same energy comes to the world stage.

The format will mirror what players already know:

• Open entry. Any player at any skill level can team up and compete
• A and B player pairing system based on handicap
• Played on Classic Courses (Courses pre-2026)
• Double elimination bracket
• Matches consist of 18 holes on the winner’s side and 9 holes on the loser’s side

The entire doubles tournament will take place on Thursday, June 11^th:

• 3:00 PM: Tournament play begins
• 9:00 PM: Doubles World Champions crowned

Doubles brings a different layer to Golden Tee. It is not just about individual execution, but about trust, communication, and shared momentum.

The Golden Tee World Championship has always defined the best individual player in the game. Now it will define the best team. On Thursday, June 11^th, the first chapter of doubles history will be written!
