West Palm Beach, Florida, United States: Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam are leading the line-up of stars from the world of golf for WGD Palooza, a virtual online event on May 25, delivered by Women’s Golf Day and hosted at the World Golf Hall of Fame.

A one-of-a-kind digital celebration, WGD Palooza will connect golfers from around the world to the movers and shakers who are creating opportunities for more people to engage with the sport.

The full line up for the four-hour online event will be revealed in the coming weeks. WGD’s partners and sponsors, including Callaway, The R&A, PGA Tour, Titleist, FootJoy, PGA Tour Superstore and ClubCorp, will share insight and inspiration from industry leaders and players. 

For those who have not visited the World Golf Hall of Fame, this will be an opportunity to experience a guided tour, specifically created for the Women’s Golf Day audience. There will be a live interactive chat throughout the programme and giveaways after each segment.

Elisa Gaudet, Founder of Women’s Golf Day, created WGD Palooza as a digital experience aimed at uniting brands and golfers from around the world and sharing the treasures in the World Golf Hall of Fame.

She said: “We realise many people are still greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and cannot get on the golf course right now. We created a digital event that unites golf in one place, that inspires new and existing golfers and allows them to interact via live chat with brands, players, and industry leaders. 

“It will be fun, insightful, and entertaining. I am energised by the passion and commitment our partners have towards growing the game and reaching new audiences. And the ability to create opportunity and unity through the May 25 virtual WGD Palooza and the WGD events on June 1.”

On June 1, women around the world are encouraged to find a location near to them and join an official event at one of the 900 participating locations across 68 countries. Locations can be found at www.womensgolfday.com/locations/
