World Golfers Championship represents an important development in the game of golf by allowing all amateur golfers to compete against others of their own skill levels in a world-wide championship event.
World Final 2011 in South Africa, Oct 29 - Nov 5 The 17th annual World Golfers Championship and Invitational was held in KwaZulu-Natal, October 29 - November 5, 2011, an amazing place we had the pleasure of visiting 2006.
World Golfers Championship and the Invitational are two separate tournaments played simultaneously and reach out to all golfers and give them the unique experience to participate in a fair and exciting game together with other participants from all around the world!
The Championship (WGC) is an amateur golf tournament played both as a 5-person team and individually within 5 handicap flights. It begins with qualifiers around the world and ends with a big world final.
The Invitational (WGI) runs parallel to the Championship and is a great opportunity to experience the event without first having to qualify. Join executives, golf federations, sponsors, celebrities, national organizers and other golf enthusiasts from around the world in this 5-star VIP challenge.
