Main Menu Changes

  • With this release (1.196.0) we have changed how Showdowns and Coin Chaos show on the main menu. The purpose of this is to make sure we’re not cluttering the main menu with items the player can not interact with.

  • Showdowns will no longer show on the main menu in the following circumstances:

  • Players who did not enter and can no longer enter because round 2 has started

  • Players who failed to qualify for the following round (missed cut as round 2 or 3 begins)

  • When the showdown ends, players will no longer see the results phase. This can still be accessed from the PLAY NOW/H2H menu, or from GAME MODES.

  • Coin Chaos will no longer show on the main menu when it’s ended the results Phase. Results can still be accessed from the PLAY NOW/H2H menu.

  • KNOWN ISSUEShowdown is not giving a results pop-up following the final round. We expect to have it resolved in the next release at the end of January. Thank you for understanding.

Quality of Life

  • Coin games now have a NEXT MATCH button to put the player back into matchmaking in the same room

Holiday Hat!

  • Wear the season on your head. Available in the pro shop!

2026 Sunglasses

  • Sunglasses in the new year

Happy New Year headband!

  • Available as a special prize in the upcoming Countdown Showdown beginning December 30. Be sure to enter and make it to the final round!

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where purchasing a Level-up Boost doesn’t trigger the level-up animation sequence. Players were still receiving the new level and rewards.

  • Changed the login prompts text to white to make it easier to read

  • Fixed an issue where canceling the purchase of a new player starter pack would result in it disappearing as if it had been purchased

  • Fixed an issue on Desktop where the All Tiers section in the Tier Dashboard was not scrollable with a mouse

  • Fixed an issue when going to the Stroke Play & CTTH game mode where selecting anything in the panel would move all items in the panel. This needed to be done before any other interactions/selections could be done

  • Desktop Standalone Onlywe changed how the purchase of Winner’s Circle shots works, which should fix a rare issue where players would receive credits in place of their Winner’s Circle shots
