VERNON HILLS, IL --  Incredible Technologies has announced that the 2019 Golden Tee World Championship is scheduled for the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from June 21 through 23. Over $135,000 in prizes will be awarded to 74 qualifiers, with a mouth-watering $30,000 top prize for the new 2019 World Champion.

Qualifying for the hotly-contested World Championship field began this February on ITNet-enabled Golden Tee 2019 machines. Using the new online "Events" mode, special weekly contests will qualify five players a week for 12 consecutive weeks. Contestants must play five games during the week to be ranked, and can play as often as they like to improve their final scores. In addition to five Worlds spots, a prize pool of nearly $9,000 is awarded to the top 300 finishers each week.

"The new Events mode is proving to be a big success with players of all skill levels," said Don Pesceone, vice-president of amusements at Incredible Technologies. "We have offered a variety of different formats that keep players on their toes and encourage repeat play. The weekly format is perfect for finding a new champion, and there will be plenty of suspense and surprises throughout the spring and beyond."

Players in states where Events or Prize Play formats are not available still have a chance to compete for the Worlds. During the week of March 18, Crawdad Swamp, a fan-favorite course fully remastered from Golden Tee Fore, will become available automatically on all online games. During that first week, players in non-prize states who play this course will be entered automatically into a special weekly contest for four Worlds qualifying spots.

Qualifying events will run through the end of April, and will fill 72 of the 74 Worlds spots. To add extra last-chance excitement, a single qualifying spot has been reserved for the winner of a special Money Shot contest on Friday, May 10. The final spot will be awarded to the winner of a special live Closest to the Pin event held at the Orleans Hotel and Casino on Friday, June 21. The contest is open to the public and anyone can enter.

The 2019 Golden Tee World Championship will take place from June 21 through 23 in the beautiful 800-seat Showroom at the Orleans. The three-day event is open to the public, with plenty of excitement and surprises planned for the players and the audience, Incredible Technologies explained.

"Golden Tee is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and the World Championship is a perfect way to throw a party," said Pesceone. "We have a lot of surprises in store for the live audience, and with the top prize set at an unprecedented $30,000 the competition will be fierce. You won't want to miss it!"
