Format 

The Underrated Golf Virtual Championship consists of two tournaments, each open to players from either Europe or the United States. For each tournament there will be a boys division and a girls division.   

The tournament format is stroke play, played over 18 holes on Liberty National GC (United States) and Foxhills - Longcross (Europe) in a Trackman simulator. Entrants get one attempt to complete their round using as few strokes as possible without any handicap influence.   

Timing 

Registration for the tournaments opens on August 20, 2026 00:00 am (CET) and closes on October 31, 2026 11:59 (CET). The tournaments start on October 1, 2026 00:00 am (CET) and end on November 1, 2026 11:59 pm (CET). Entrants should be aware of the start/end dates and time of the tournament to make sure they have enough time to complete their attempts before the tournament ends.   

Eligibility

Anyone from Europe or the United States between the ages of 12-18 years old during the participation period is eligible to participate in the tournament.  

Due to European personal data protection rules and regulations, parents of players under 13 are required to set up a Trackman account for their child using the Trackman Golf App.  

By participating in the Underrated Golf Virtual Championship presented by Underrated Golf and Trackman, entrants agree to be bound by these official rules and confirm that they meet the eligibility criteria. 

Trackman and Underrated Golf employees are not eligible to play in the tournament.

Field Size 

There is no limit to the number of entrants in the tournament 

Yardages  

The following tees are used in the tournaments: 

Liberty National GC  

• Girls 12-14 years old: Regular / 5748 yds 

• Girls 15-18 years old: Member / 6264 yds 

• Boys 12-14 years old: Liberty / 6500 yds 

• Boys 15-18 years old: Medal / 6762 yds 

Foxhills - Longcross 

• Girls 12-14 years old: Front / 5420 yds 

• Girls 15-18 years old: CJ (6160 yds 

• Boys 12-14 years old: Medal / 6430 yds 

• Boys 15-18 years old: Championship / 6737 yds 

The Member tee and Medal tee (Liberty National GC) and the CJ tee and Championship tee (Foxhills - Longcross) will be set by default in the Trackman simulator. Players between the ages of 12-14 years old must manually change their tees to the shorter set of tees in the Trackman simulator. A player's age is determined by their age on the day they participate in the tournament. 

If players between the ages of 12-14 play from the longer set of tees, the round counts, but if players between the ages of 15-18 play from the shorter set of tees, the round will be disqualified. If any player playing from the wrong tees wishes to re-play their round, they are allowed to do so.   

Putting & Gimme Circle

Putting will be “Manual - Aimed”, which means that a player is putting with optimal putt line displayed and automatically aimed. 

The Gimme Circle will be set to 8 ft (~2.4m).   

“Pick Up” Rule

If a player picks up the ball (by tapping the “Pick up” button on-screen) before holing out, the score will be a quadruple bogey, regardless of the number of shots hit before picking up. If a player continues until holing out, then all strokes on the hole will be counted, with no maximum. Accordingly, players are advised to pick up the ball before holing out if they wish to limit their score on a given hole to quadruple bogey. 

Tie Rules 

When two or more players are tied, the leaderboard will automatically use the rules below to determine player position. 

1. Low tournament gross score 

2. Lowest back 9 score 

3. Low score on last 6 holes 

4. Low score on last 3 holes 

5. Low score on last hole 

6. Lowest front 9 score 

7. Low score on holes 4-9 

8. Low score on holes 7-9 

9. Low score on hole 9

Entrants are welcome to practice prior to the event as the tournament courses are already available.
