Sim golf tournaments

Simulator Golf Tour or SGT for short offers league play for GSPro. In order to play in any tournaments provided by SGT, you must first create an SGT account and bound that account’s ID to your GSPro Player of choice.

When creating your SGT account, be sure that your “Username” matches with your “Player Name” back in GSPro exactly. If these do not match, your scores from your tournaments may not be reported correctly. (More on where to locate Player information on GSPro below)

Now that you have created an SGT account, you will want to make sure your GSPro account is linked properly. In GSPro, please head to the “Settings” under the “Players” tab and locate your desired player. Here, you will find the two categories you will need to sync up. (Name, SGT ID, and I recommend Email Address)
