LIV Golf gives fans a chance to take on Majesticks G.C. pros in a one-of-a-kind closest-to-the-pin competition

At one point or another, we’ve all said I could do that while watching professiona golf. Sure, we’re sitting on our couch, finishing a full bag of chips while they’re playing for their livelihoods, but if you’re a true fan, you’ve definitely thought about it, at least for a split second. Well … here’s your chance.
LIV Golf’s Majesticks GC has paired up with Trackman to bring golfers a once-in-a-lifetime competition, which will allow a few lucky individuals to test their mettle against a LIV golfer in a high-stakes closest-to-the-pin competition. All you have to do is try your luck on a Trackman simulator or Trackman Range between today and July 9th.
Each contestant will have four attempts on Real Club Valderrama’s sixth hole, a 162-yard par 3, which LIV Golf’s best will be taking on at LIV Golf Andalucía in July. On the line will be a bunch of great prizes, most notably a round of golf with a Majesticks GC player (player, location and date TBC). There are will also be limited-edition polos and personal video messages available, but let's be honest: All you really want is a chance to tee off against one of Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Sam Horsfield (OK, maybe not Sam Horsfield).
According to the Majesticks, here's how you make the lottery: "Any participant whose best shot finishes closer to the hole than the best Majesticks GC player will be entered into a draw ... Three winners will be selected overall: a winner from the Trackman simulators, the Trackman Ranges and one Junior winner (aged between 13-18*)."
“We’re truly bringing fans closer to the game," said Ian Poulter, co-captain of Majesticks GC. “This is a chance to go shot-for-shot with us on one of the toughest par-3s in Europe. Step up, take your swing, and we’ll see you on the tee.”
At the very least, this is a great opportunity to see how you’d fare on one of Spain's most challenging par-3s. Plus, when the Majesticks take on Real Club Valderrama, there’s a non-zero chance that you’ll be able to boast, “No big deal, but I did better than him on that hole.” What else could one want?
