London, England: Children across the world can now play in Sir Nick Faldo’s international junior series more easily thanks to a new initiative between Trackman and The Faldo Series.

The Faldo Virtual Series launched at the start of January and has already seen hundreds of children sign up, each playing for the chance to play in a real Faldo Grand Final.

For almost 30 years, Sir Nick has put his name and effort into the Faldo International Series, where children from primarily the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia can compete and have important learning experiences.

Now, thanks to advanced Trackman technologies, children can compete at one of 25,000 Trackman simulator venues worldwide in the first ever global golf tournament for juniors.

Open to children and young adults aged between seven and 21 years of age, the Virtual Series includes three month-long tournaments stretching across January, February and March.

Boys and girls compete in their own age and gender categories, with global winners in each qualifying for the Faldo Series Grand Final. Prizes will go down to eighth place, in addition to fun competitions such as Closest to the Pin and a random Lucky Draw to play in the British Masters Pro-Am at The Belfry in August.

In January, the Virtual Series took place over the Old Course at St Andrews. In February, it moves to Wentworth’s West Course, before moving Stateside in March to the Reserve Course at Moonlight Basin.

The series is being powered by Trackman’s Virtual Golf technology, which provides realistic course simulations and performance tracking. Players tee off on digital versions of the course, with precise ball flight physics and conditions that replicate real-world gameplay.

With a one-time entry fee of US$10, participants can play as many times as they want, with the best score from all their attempts counting to tournament. For further details, please visit https://www.faldoseries.com/the-virtual-series/
