Online Tournament redefines virtual competition, giving players the chance to compete for a championship title and real cash prizes
DALLAS — Uneekor, a leader in golf simulation and performance technology, has announced the inaugural, a global online tournament open exclusively to Uneekor launch monitor owners.
Starting Aug. 17, the Uneekor Invitational, built in partnership with GSPro and SGT, brings competitive virtual golf to a global stage, giving players the opportunity to compete for a championship title, cash prizes, and exclusive rewards.
“GSPro and SGT are the gold standard in the sim golf community, and we’ve built a real partnership with both to bring that same format and competitive structure to our growing global community,” said Scott Gaines, Global Head of Sales at Uneekor. “Together, we’re giving players a legitimate stage, real competition, and a championship worth playing for, all from their own sim setup.”
The Uneekor Invitational will take place Aug. 17 through Sept. 4, bringing together Uneekor players from around the world for a multi-phase virtual golf competition designed to challenge competitors and crown the ultimate champion.
- Qualifying Week: Aug. 17–24: Players compete on The Old Game, a brand new course designed by Carl’s Place, completing two rounds at their own pace. Ball speed determines Championship division placement.
- Championship Week: Aug. 28–Sept. 4: Competitors are placed into three separate divisions based on ball speed and take on The Wilds Golf Club course, battling for the Uneekor Invitational title.
- Division Prizes: 1st place, up to $2,500 in gift cards to PGA Superstore or Scheels; 2nd place, $1,250; 3rd place, $750, across all three divisions.
“The Uneekor Invitational is our way of creating a premium tournament experience for our global community,” said James Murphy, Global Marketing Director at Uneekor. “Our owners span the world, and this is the first time we’ve given that community a real stage to compete on, together, for a real championship title.”
Uneekor is teaming up with a lineup of respected golf and lifestyle brands to power the tournament’s sponsor contests. Vice Golf, YETI, Evnroll Putters, and Avoda Golf are each backing closest-to-the-pin contests throughout Qualifying and Championship play, with partners represented on sponsored holes throughout virtual play, giving players even more ways to win outside the leaderboard. The partnerships bring together brands players already trust, making the competition even more rewarding from tee to green.
Uneekor invites players to share their best shots and tournament moments on social media using #UneekorInvitational, allowing golfers to showcase their experience and connect throughout the event. At the conclusion of the tournament, select standout submissions shared using #UneekorInvitational will be chosen as additional winners, with recipients receiving a Uneekor and Carl’s Place collaboration swag bag.
