New Formats & Expanded Opportunities

By joining WPSL, World Amateur Match Race players will now have access to:

In addition, many other former Liverpool and Premier League stars have teed it up in Super League, including (but not limited to):

Pros, Amateurs & Celebrities – On the Same Tees

One of the most remarkable aspects of WPSL “Super League” is its levelling format:

Tour professionals, elite amateurs and celebrities all play from the same tees,

Using handicap and Stableford points systems,

creating a genuine level playing field where amateur golfers are teeing it up against Ryder Cup players and European Tour winners in meaningful competition. It’s never been seen before in this way.
