Presumably one pronounces it "Guru of the Week" ? Anything else would
be difficult to say, and impossible to understand.

Gee-Oh-Tee-Double-U, or "Guru of the Week" for short

“gått-vé”, same as in “gått vér”.

Some English words have a silent w.

to
time when the letter /was/ pronounced. There was a time when the w was
pronounced in two, sword, answer, and write. So you don't get a silent
w in new words.
And pronouncing "GotW" as "Got" would, I think, be confusing. If the
full phrase is too long to use, I would introduce it once when
explaining what it is, and then abbreviate to "the Guru".
