In my opinion these would be some of the best clubs in the game. Now some of them (more specifically the Epic ones) might be a tad bit more difficult to obtain, because they are not as common as the other ones – but once you get them, make sure that you are using them because the stats are way higher.

They will also have some added stats, unlike the Common (and some Rare ones) which come by default with the stats that they appear to have.

And in conclusion these would be our picks for the best clubs in Golf King: World Tour. Just make sure that you keep on playing and unlocking all of the clubs so that you can equip the best ones in the game! Also, make sure that you are upgrading them as you get them because it will make it a lot easier to hit the ball!

Golf King – World Tour Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Cheats & Strategies to Dominate Your Rivals

By: Author Philip Reyes

Posted on Last updated: December 18, 2019

PNIX, Inc. is a mobile game developer that has been active since 2012. While the company holds merely six games under its current app portfolio, it has already earned more than 20 million downloads from all its releases on the Android platform alone. Mini Golf King , Gun Zombie, and Castle Burn are PNIX’s top games with Mini Golf King earning well over 10 million downloads. Each of the company’s titles enjoy a well above average user rating from its players as well.

Golf King – World Tour is PNIX’s latest mobile game, which takes a more mature swing towards the sport compared to the developer’s popular mini golf game. Golf King – World Tour offers realistic golf courses that you can play on and compete in real time against friends and other players. You can also customize your avatar from models, clothing, accessories and even winning gestures that make each victory even sweeter. Each win can earn you better golf clubs that can be further upgraded to increase its power and accuracy on top of other important stats. If you enjoy golf games characterized by relatively simple controls and fairly competitive gameplay anyone can enjoy, then be sure to give Golf King – World Tour a shot!

Anyone can easily pick Golf King – World Tour up and play it within minutes as the controls and mechanics of the games are as simple as they come. Tapping and holding makes the entirety of controls to adjust your aim and your swing power. Beyond that, it’s just a matter of timing to determine the accuracy of the shot in line with current wind speeds and direction.

With the first few matches being more of a trial game, it’s enough to give you a good grasp of the controls and prepare you for the more competitive matches ahead. If you are having a hard time winning matches or landing your shots close to where you want them to, then check out our Golf King – World Tour beginner’s guide for some useful tips, cheats and strategies!

1. Choose To Play Safe First

If you have played several golf games before, then you know that there is always more than one way to get through each course. Although in some cases, the path seems a little obvious and straightforward, some courses are strategically designed to make it so that the shorter routes to take are the more challenging ones. With bunkers and water hazards littering some courses, as well as trees that may block an otherwise better direction, going for a more conservative approach and choosing to play safe should be your general strategy.

Before you proceed to go for a more aggressive path, make sure that you have mastered timing each shot as well as secure a firm grasp on the impact of winds based on their strength and direction as well as the relative angle of your shot. While the latter may prove to be the bigger challenge, the best way to get good at it is through practice.

2. Use Rythmic Counting To Get The Timing Right

One of the most basic things you need to master early on in Golf King – World Tour is timing the release of each shot. As you tap and hold at the start of each shot, you will see a meter appear above it with a moving line across bars to indicate varying levels of accuracy you can make on a shot. Your objective is to hit the yellow center area of the bar to more closely have a result close to the shot projection at the start of your turn.

Depending on the quality and level of your golf club, the speed at which the line moves may vary and in this sense, it will be a little more challenging to secure a perfect shot with lower level clubs. In any case, however, counting each time the line hits the spot for a perfect shot should help you time its release. Take note as well that as much as perfect releases should net you a result close to the projected shot, the wind’s speed and direction can still impact the end results differently.

Keep in mind that you also need to make a shot within 30 seconds. While using rhythmic counting can help you make a perfect shot, it can also lead to taking a little more time before making a shot especially if you are still adjusting to the method. As such, make it a habit to stay conscious of the timer without even bothering to look at it at the top of the screen. Be conscious just enough to keep track of the remaining time while counting off to time your shot.

3. Don’t Use Too Much Power

The power of the shot and resulting distance the golf ball can travel to depend largely on how much power you invest on the shot. Although the initial shot from the teeing ground may preferably have as much power in it as possible, the same does not always hold true for most succeeding shots, especially in the greens. As every bit of pull you exert while holding down a shot can increase power, pulling it all the way will give an indication that you are using too much power. While seeing the “Over Power” indicator is a clear sign that you are pulling too hard, there will be numerous scenarios when using power well within what is acceptable can still be more than what is needed for you to get the results you want.

For beginners, it will not be as critically important across the fairway given that there are plenty of similarly favorable spots within the area you are targeting. Within the putting green, however, extra care must be observed with each stroke within the greens especially with chances of making a putt. Despite the holes in Golf King – World Tour being bigger than actual holes or virtual ones in other golf games, it is still possible to miss a putt due to excess power rolling the ball out and away from the hole.

4. Enhance Your Clubs As Soon As You Can

On top of coins and experience points you earn after each win as well as accomplishing quests, you can obtain various packs that contain different golf clubs. You can access the different clubs you have and upgrade them by tapping the golf bag icon at the left side of the screen. Once you have opened several packs, you will obtain extra copies of clubs. You can easily determine clubs that you can upgrade through notifications within the club page and beyond having enough extra copies of the clubs, you will also need coins to do an upgrade.

Upgrading increases the stats of the golf club, which is why it is best to upgrade them as soon as you have the needed resources to do so. Beyond contributing positively to your performance in the succeeding matches, you will also gain some experience points from each upgrade. Just be sure to leave enough coins for you to continuously be able to pay for match entrance fees. Beyond that, prioritization as to which clubs to upgrade first should be based on the ones you use more often.

5. Complete Quests For Extra Rewards

Beyond the immediate rewards you earn after each match, there are extra quest points and club packs you can earn by accomplishing quests. You can tap on the tier banner at the upper right side of your screen to see your current tier as well as the rewards you can earn by progressing through to the succeeding tiers. Under the quest tab, there are simple objectives you can accomplish to earn the respective rewards.

For the most part, the objectives you need to meet fall well within the activities you do within any match. Given that there are no stamina limitations or similar game mechanics that delimit how much you can play, you can easily achieve all 4 daily quests after playing just a couple or more matches.

6. Watch Ads For More Coins And An Epic Pack

While you can expect that most, if not all, free-to-play games that do not mainly bank on in-app purchases rely on the existence of ads to keep the game running, Golf King – World Tour does not hamper gameplay in anyway with ads that pop up while you are playing.

There is also a set limit as to the number of video ads you can each day for extra rewards. This can be done through the “play button” icon at the lower left side of your screen. If you can, you should watch ads continuously until you get the top reward before you start playing. You can earn a lot of coins after watching through the initial ones and receive an elite pack after watching the last ad. As you may get some upgrade materials from it, it would be best to secure it first and upgrade clubs if possible before engaging in any match at the start of the day.

There you have it! This ends our beginner’s guide for Golf King – World Tour. If you have played the game for quite some time and have likewise discovered some tips or strategies we have not mentioned in the article, feel free to share them with us!

Horschel the King of Corales

Billy Horschel was unstoppable in the final round of the Corales Puntacana Championship, firing a 9-under 63 for a two-shot victory in the Dominican Republic . Horschel ran off four straight birdies on the front nine to get in the mix before pulling away with an eagle on the par-5 12th hole. The 2014 FedExCup winner started the final round three shots behind Wesley Bryan but tied the course record Sunday at Corales Golf Course, en route to victory and a tournament scoring record. “This game of golf is so fickle,” Horschel said after his eighth TOUR win. “You can put a lot into it and not get everything you want out of it. I knew ... I had the ability, I had the talent. I had to continue to believe the good stuff was going to come to the forefront.” The win earned Horschel a spot into the PGA Championship at Valhalla and will start his 2025 FedExCup Season next year in Kapalua for The Sentry.

Time for team golf in NOLA

Team golf returns to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, an 80-team event utilizing an alternating-round Four-ball and Foursomes format. The trip to TPC Louisiana allows TOUR stars to partner up for the only team event of the FedExCup Season. The acclaimed Southern California duo of Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele will run it back in New Orleans after winning in 2022 and finishing runner-up in 2023. They’ll have stiff competition with Rory McIlroy making his tournament debut with partner Shane Lowry and short-game artist Sahith Theegala pairing up with ball-striking maestro Will Zalatoris. With multiple groups of brothers in the field, tournament debuts galore and 400 FedExCup points on the line in one of the great food-and-culture cities of the United States, the Zurich Classic is set for drama.

LIV Golf’s Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton shockingly granted Ryder Cup lifeline

Despite their affiliation with LIV Golf, both Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton can make the Ryder Cup team in 2025.

Share All sharing options for: LIV Golf’s Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton shockingly granted Ryder Cup lifeline

Get ready to see Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton at Bethpage Black for the 2025 Ryder Cup , despite their affiliation with LIV Golf .

Many believed that LIV golfers could not compete in the last Ryder Cup, held at Marco Simone Golf Club outside of Rome, Italy. No European LIV players, such as Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson, and Ian Poulter, made the roster in Rome, leading many to think that Team Europe barred LIV golfers from its team.

When in fact, those players rescinded their DP World Tour memberships and, thus, their Ryder Cup prospects.

That ultimately led to Garcia attempting to pay off his fines of $867,000 , but it was too little, too late.

As for the case of Rahm and Hatton competing in 2025, newly minted DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings cleared up this “misconception” in an interview with Golf Digest and other outlets.

“If we look at the eligibility criteria for 2023, I think there has been a slight misconception,” Kinnings said.

“The reality is that, under the current system, if a player is European and is a member of the DP World Tour and abides by the rules in place, he is eligible.”

Both Rahm and Hatton fit this billing, considering that both players have maintained their DP World Tour membership and hail from Spain and England, respectively.

Yet, these two players have not obtained an official release from the DP World Tour that would allow them to compete in LIV Golf events. As such, both players are liable to sanctions from the DP World Tour, if they want to compete in the next Ryder Cup. That will likely include a financial penalty, which should not trouble Rahm and Hatton too greatly, considering the millions they received.

“If you don’t get a release, there are sanctions, so a player must accept those sanctions. And if he accepts the penalties, there is no reason why a player who has taken LIV membership and maintained his DP World Tour membership could not (a) qualify or (b) be available for Ryder Cup selection,” Kinnings explained.

“It requires a player to work within the rules, but the truth is that those rules have been looked at and tested. Everything is done in a fair, reasonable, and proportionate way. So, there is no reason why anything needs to change. It is wrong to think Jon Rahm has written himself out of the Ryder Cup. People instantly thought we would have to change the rules . But actually, we don’t. If Jon follows the procedures in place, there is no reason why he would not be eligible for the 2025 Ryder Cup.”

To date, Rahm has followed these procedures, according to Kinnings. He has formally requested a release before each LIV event he has played, including this week before LIV Golf’s Adelaide event, but the DP World Tour has denied each plea.

“[Rahm] will likely have to serve a suspension. And if he does that, he will be eligible to play in the next Ryder Cup. He doesn’t actually have to enter a subsequent DP World Tour event to serve that suspension. He would be suspended from an event, even if he hasn’t entered,” Kinnings added.

“To be eligible for the Ryder Cup, a player must play in a minimum of four DP World Tour events. Any player will still be able to do that, even if he serves any and all suspensions levied. There are enough weeks in the year to do that. That’s not a loophole. Those are the rules we have always had.”

Instead of serving his suspension after the LIV Golf season wraps up, Rahm, in theory, could partake in his suspension during off weeks on the Saudi-backed circuit. Since LIV Golf has a two-week break between the PGA Championship in mid-May and its Houston event in early June, part of Rahm’s suspension could be honored through the Soudal Open in Belgium and the European Open in Germany, for example.

Rahm could continue to employ this strategy throughout the Summer, opening up the door for him to compete in two of his favorite events on the DP World Tour later this Fall: the Andalucía Masters and the Open de España.

Regardless, the path for Rahm and Hatton—along with Adrian Meronk and Thomas Pieters—to make the 2025 Ryder Cup team has been laid out before them. Whether these players follow that course remains to be seen.

But rest assured that all European fans, including fellow players like Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, want Rahm and Hatton on the team at Bethpage Black.

Letter from Europe

Guy Kinnings has a simple job as the new DP World Tour chief: Keep his 50-plus-year tour relevant

LONDON — No one said it was going to be easy. And less than a month into his tenure as just the fifth Chief Executive in the European/DP World Tour’s more than 50 years of existence, Guy Kinnings isn’t having to look too far for problems that need solving. Predictably, one in particular is dominating the 60-year-old Englishman’s thoughts. Like everyone else at the sharp end of administration in professional golf, he is concerned that the current conflict between the game’s establishment and LIV Golf needs to be resolved. And resolved as soon as possible.

“I’ve got a lot of stuff in my ‘in-tray,” Kinnings says on Thursday during a session with various golf media. “But there is one topic that needs to get sorted first. If and when that happens, everything else will flow from there. The irony is that golf is such a healthy state in so many metrics—participation, interest levels—but until we get a solution and know what the future of the professional game is going to look like, everything else has to wait. It is the elephant in every room.

“All I want to do is get the right people round the table—PGA Tour Enterprises, Fenway Sports Group, Strategic Sports Group, the DP World Tour, the Saudi Public Investment Fund—I don’t know,” Kinnings continues. “But there is an intent to talk about what the future can look like. What does the product look like in 2026 and beyond? What is the pathway? But until we get the right people in the right room with the right intent, we are never going to work out a deal. That is what is needed right now. And it’s the same as in any business: don’t leave until you have deal done.”

To that end, Kinnings claims to be encouraged by the dealings he has so far had with Yassir Al-Rumayyan, chairman and governor of the PIF, the financial arm for the LIV Golf League.

“The Saudis will want to ensure that they do things properly,” Kinnings says. “Yassir is a very astute businessman. I have no doubt he will have weighed up the dynamics at play. But everything I have heard is that he wants to find a longer-term solution. If he believes in the good of the game, he will know that a split product in the long run is not good. He will know that as well as anyone. So it is essential that, in the long run, things have to be better for the professional game. The more we hear about (television viewing) numbers falling, the more it is clear that, if we don’t move quickly, there will be lasting damage. I don’t think Yassir wants there to be damage to the game. He loves the game.”

As to exactly what any deal should look like, Kinnings not surprisingly favors the model suggested by Rory McIlroy earlier this year, one that is “truly international.” By way of example, that could mean a “world tour” comprising, say, 20 events with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour “feeding” players into the newly created global circuit.

“I see a lot of sense in that,” Kinnings says. “What do the fans really want to see? They want to see the best players competing more often. So that model has appeal. But it is only part of the picture. If we are to find a solution, we need to be looking at integrating team golf in some way. That will satisfy what LIV has done. But it will also recognize that we all love team golf. Last year the Ryder Cup reminded us what golf at its best can look like. All I want to do is protect that. Our goal has to be to elevate everything.”

That can only happen if the leading U.S. players are prepared to travel outside their homeland. Despite much evidence to the contrary, Kinnings is optimistic on that front, pointing out that, historically, American superstars did their bit to promote the game worldwide. Which is true. In the past American superstars travelling helped create big events around the world. Arnold Palmer’s role in the resurrection of the Open Championship is one such example. Tiger Woods appearing regularly in Asia is another.

“The American players realizing that they will have to travel to enhance their brands is something they will have to compromise on,” Kinnings says. “If we all recognize that the game will be damaged without a solution I think the players will come round.”

Still, amidst all of the speculation, Kinnings is also cognizant of the fact that the DP World Tour does not have the loudest voice in any negotiations regarding the future of the professional game. A cynical observer might conclude that the DP World Tour will, whatever happens, simply do what the PGA Tour dictates. The pair are currently the constituent parts of a so-called “strategic alliance” that guarantees, amongst other things, record prize funds on the former European circuit for at least the next 13 years.

Prior to becoming DP World Tour chief, Kinnings was in charge or the Ryder Cup for the tour.

On the other side of that continuing debate, there are those Europeans who would not complain if Kinnings were to lead his members into a global circuit (minus the U.S.) alongside the PIF. All valid points, but whatever happens, Kinnings is quick to point out the experience the Old World circuit could bring to a truly worldwide tour.

“I don’t claim that I can make everything happen,” he says. “And I know we are characterized as the ‘third wheel’ in any negotiations. But I know that we have a voice in this. The reality is that the PGA Tour now has some very smart investors in Fenway Sports Group and the Strategic Sports Group. But we, through our strategic alliance, are working closely with the PGA Tour. We are working together on the end product. It’s a joint exercise. So practically, we are being listened to. I have dealt with the guys at Fenway, who were fascinated by the history of the DP World Tour and our internationalizing of the game. They know that we have the relationships around the world. We’ve built them for 50 years.

“Plus, two of the biggest financial institutions in the world want to invest in golf. Rory put it best when he said we need to find a way for them to do that. They clearly think golf works for them. Otherwise they wouldn’t be putting money in. So it’s our job to give them something that works for them and for the fans. We need to look forward, not back.”

Also heartening Kinnings is the news that Rory McIlroy is likely to re-join the PGA Tour Policy Board and become a director of PGA Tour Enterprises, meaning that there will be at least one European voice in that influential room.

“I know how much it took out of Rory originally,” says Kinnings, who served six years as the European Tour Group’s Deputy CEO, Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Director-Ryder Cup before taking on his new role April 2. “He worked on board meetings until 2-3 in the morning, then got up and played in pro-ams. And now he’s prepared to go back. His voice is really important.”

There are many voices though and Kinnings, responding to the notion that things need to start happening soon, comes close to adding a timetable if golf is to survive the current crisis.

“I hope getting it right happens in the next few months,” he says. “We know it has to be done ASAP. I don’t see too much changing in 2025. 2026 is when we will see significant changes. To do that we need 2025 to prepare. I’m not setting any deadlines. But to plan a new product for 2026 you really need to have it done by the end of this year. Everyone needs to be flexible and compromise. Once we have the right solution we need to move fast.”
