10 Million Golfers. 10 Dream Courses. One Unforgettable Summer. | 18Birdies
18Birdies 10 Million Golfers campaign finale at Wynn Golf Club

10 Courses, 10 Winners, and One Thank You to Everyone Who Played.

10 weeks. 10 golfers. 10 bucket-list golf trips.

Earlier this summer, the 18Birdies community reached 10 million golfers, and we wanted to celebrate the people who made that milestone possible in a way that felt bigger than just a number.

So we launched 10 Million Golfers. 10 Dream Courses. 10 Weeks. Every week, we unlocked a new dream destination. Every round logged was another chance to win. And by the end of the summer, 10 members of the 18Birdies community had earned the chance to tee it up somewhere unforgettable with a friend.

Now, as the 10 Million Golfers celebration comes to a close, there is even more to celebrate: the 18Birdies community is now more than 11 million golfers strong.

We wanted to take one last look at an unforgettable campaign: the winners, the dream courses, and the golfers who made the milestone mean something.

The winners

Meet Our 10 Grand Prize Winners

10 lucky 18Birdies users got the call from our team this summer. They came from different states, different golf backgrounds, and different stages of life with the game, from newer players still building their routine to longtime golfers who have made 18Birdies part of every round. What connected all of them was simple: they love golf, and they wanted to share an unforgettable round with someone close to them.

The Rounds Behind the Milestone

The 10 winners were only part of the story.

The bigger one was happening everywhere else. The weekday nines, the weekend rounds with your regular group, the personal bests, the blow-up holes you posted anyway, and every birdie that got logged along the way.

Many of you went further than just logging a round too, digging through the app for bonus entries, trying out features you had not touched before, and finding ways to rack up as many entries as possible all summer long.

If you played one round this summer and tracked it in 18Birdies, you were part of getting us here. Every scorecard, stat, side match, and shared round added to something bigger than one campaign.

10 million golfers is not a number we hit on our own. It is what happens when millions of people keep showing up to play.

Thank you

10 Million Was Just the Beginning.

When we launched this celebration, 10 million golfers had made 18Birdies part of their game.

Today, that number has already passed 11 million.

That is a million more golfers tracking rounds, chasing birdies, discovering new courses, competing with friends, and finding more ways to enjoy the game.

11 million golfers and counting.

To everyone who logged a round this summer, chased an extra entry, followed along as we revealed each course, celebrated one of our winners, or simply brought 18Birdies along for another round: Thank You.

10 Million Golfers was our reason to celebrate. You were the reason it was worth celebrating.

With more than 11 million golfers now along for the ride, we are already planning the next one. Stay tuned!
