How do I get to play Alternate events?
Pick Online, and the event that has Foursome, alternating hitting shots using one ball. Today, it's Fast and Firm, Tour. Tomorrow, it's Ryder Cup, Sim.
I don't think you understand the question I want to know how to compete in (Alternate events) the tournaments that take place if you have not qualified for the main event..
Part of the career quests are to win these Alternate tournaments..But there doesn't seem a way to enter them.
The only way is to play badly so you don't qualify for the main event. Some starts a new created golfer straight to the PGA Tour and don't use their skill points accumulated to upgrade their golfer. There are a couple of threads on this subject on ways to compete on these alternate events. Some will probably chime in here.
For some tournaments like Banff, you will need to create a second golfer and play bad to play the alternate since they are dependent on Overall Ranking. For others, playing badly would work since they are dependent on season rankings.
