Fairway Classic Invitational
Event 19 on the Fairway Classic schedule is actually an invitational, a free tournament with a $10,000 guarantee. Everyone who plays at least one Fairway Classic event will receive a ticket to the April 13 freeroll. And that $10,000 up for grabs will come in the form of a plethora of tickets for the Heart Championship online series that will be running through April 19.
Play & Earn Promotion
This special Fairway Classic promo has two separate opportunities to participate. One is the aforementioned invitational freeroll, which rewards players for participating in the Fairway Classic series. The other promo: play two or more events in the Fairway Classic and you immediately qualify to spin the wheel for a chance to win up to $25 bonus dollars!
Poker & Sports Leaderboard
It is only natural for a sports-themed poker tournament series to pull in BetMGM Poker and BetMGM Sportsbook for a combo promotion. It comes in the form of a leaderboard competition for the Fairway Classic. Over the course of the 18 main schedule events, players who cash in any of the events will earn points on the leaderboard. The top five players of the series win up to $500 in sports bonus bets.
Putter Around at BetMGM Poker Tables
As you clear your schedule to watch the premier golf tournament of the year on television, it’s the perfect time to set up your account at BetMGM Poker to play legal poker online in the first-ever Fairway Classic.
