The Renaissance Cup

 

2024 is the inaugural year for our exciting team match play tournament, the Renaissance Cup. This tournament is similar to the Solheim Cup tournament for professional women golfers, played every two years between teams representing the United States and Europe.

 

The Renaissance Cup at CommonGround will be contested on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 by two teams of twelve players. All CGWGC 18-hole and 9-hole members are eligible to play, but participation in the tournament is earned based on a point system. CGWGC members will accumulate points throughout the season based on participation and success in CGWGC play days and events. At the end of the points earning cutoff on August 20, 2024 the top 24 point earners will be divided into two teams, and the top two point earners will captain each team. A formula based on handicaps will be used to assign the remaining players to teams, to make the teams as equal as possible. These two teams will compete in a single-day net match play tournament for the coveted Renaissance Cup!
