The Weekly Challenge Golf Tour was organized and founded in late 1989. With enthusiasm and determination, WCGT promoted an idea that was not readily available to the average golfer in most areas: the thrills and excitement of playing golf competitively in accordance with USGA rules, within a strict professionally-managed, tournament format.
Single day 18 hole tournaments, on top quality golf courses, are open to both men and women golfers in the 0 to 30 handicap range. Members may play as an amateur for prizes and gift certificates, maintaining their Amateur status - or - play as a non-amateur for prizes and cash awards. Golf in this format, with fair competition, is truly a unique experience.
In 1989, the WCGT began with only 147 enthusiastic members, and a schedule of 20 events on Chicagoland public golf courses, that averaged a field of 51 players. Without media promotion, the WCGT steadily grew in size and participation. Soon advertisers, sponsors and many of the best golf courses in Chicagoland were on board with the WCGT.
The WCGT is currently managed by a group of enthusiastic golfers dedicated to a concept that provides fair, competitive golf events for the average golfer. While the membership is open to all skill levels, the majority of players are in a range of six to sixteen in handicap index. A strictly enforced handicap process is maintained for all members, using only WCGT scores for maintaining and updating handicap factors.
