Play is complate at the virtual St Andrews as 18 players competed during week one of the BMW Indoor Invitational powered by TrackMan. Recap how the day unfolded.
With regular tournament action currently suspended due to the ongoing global efforts against the spread of Coronavirus, many leading professionals have been turning to solutions at home, including the latest TrackMan software and simulators, to keep their golf game sharp.
The BMW Indoor Invitational powered by TrackMan enables them to compete against each other with each tournament winner receiving $10,000 towards their chosen charity or relief fund which has been helping communities impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
The new series will consist of five one-round (18 hole) strokeplay tournaments played virtually on some of Europe’s most iconic golf courses, powered by TrackMan.
