What else can I say? This is just SOOO cool!

With the various tours searching out ways to get golf lower back to the hundreds, the European Tour got here up with a manner to play virtual activities. The BMW Indoor Invitational will play 5 18-hole events the use of Trackman path simulators so the players can compete from their homes. The winners of each occasion will win $10k for their selected charities to assist fight COVID-19.

The "discipline" includes five gamers -- Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Bernd Wiesberger, Joost Luiten and Mike Lorenzo Vera. And the events can be performed (simmed?) on 5 famous guides:

• May 9:St. Andrews (Old Course)
• May 16: Royal Portrush
• May 23: Golfclub München Eichenried
• May 30: Real Club Valderrama
• June 6: Wentworth

The European Tour will be broadcasting the event on their social channels, but you can also go to the official site at this link. This should be one of the more interesting sporting experiments to be attempted during this pandemic.
