Final GOLIATH Flights See Over 1,000 Players Advance to Day 2
A field of 2,368 is scarcely believable, but the single largest GOLIATH Day 1 in history is in the books with 197 players advancing from a monster field.
Leading the way is King Ko with 1,005,000 as they book their place in Day 2. In addition to the survivors from the Day 1H-Turbo (details below) that brings the total number of palyers through to Day 2 to 1,059 from a massive field of 12,937.
