Challenge Tour invites wildcard for the European Tour event “Made in Himmerland – Presented by FREJA” is part of the prize pool in the ECCO Tour’s upcoming virtual golf series.
Simulator golf with TrackMan “is now so realistic that it in many ways can be equated with real outdoor golf tournaments”, says Flemming Astrup, ECCO Tour Owner and Made in Himmerland promoter. “That’s why we dare to put four ChallengeTour invitations and one wildcard for ‘Made in Himmerland by FREJA’ up for grabs.”
Virtual golf is proving to be a serious alternative to traditional Tour events, with TrackMan’s tour-proven OERT technology, accuracy, and high-fidelity recreations of world-famous golf courses around the world powering more and more virtual golf tournaments – with big prizes to be won.
