At one point or another, we’ve all thought, I could do that, while watching professional 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 nearest-the-pin competition. All you have to do is try your luck on a TrackMan simulator or Trackman Range between today and July 9.

Each contestant will have four attempts on Real Club Valderrama’s sixth hole, a 148-metre par 3, which LIV Golf’s best will be taking on at LIV Golf Andalucia 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 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.
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?
