The best women golfers in the world are heading to Naples, Florida, for the LPGA's season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, played November 19 to 22 at Tiburón Golf Club. And this year, you do not have to just watch.

Trackman, the company behind the simulator technology we play on, has built a series of virtual golf events around the finale. Here is what it announced.

The course is already out

On October 29, Trackman released Tiburón's Gold Course, the championship venue, for Trackman Range and Trackman simulators. That means golfers on Trackman simulators can play the same course the pros will face, from an indoor bay.

A closest-to-the-pin tournament

From November 16 to 29, Trackman is running a Closest-to-Pin tournament. According to Trackman, participants get the chance to compete against LPGA Tour professionals and to win exclusive prizes.

The Sunday setup

On November 23, the day after the champion is crowned, Trackman will release an exclusive Sunday Setup version of the Gold Course on its simulators. It uses the tee and pin positions from the final round of the championship, so virtual golfers can try the same shots that decided the tournament.

Why it matters for indoor golf

Not long ago, indoor golf was mostly a way to keep your swing alive over the winter. Events like this show how far simulators have come: real championship courses, real tour setups and a way to measure yourself against the pros, any day and at any hour.

If winter has you looking for somewhere to play, book a bay and bring a friend.
