Bob Goldwater Cup Matches

 

The Bob Goldwater Cup is an annual Ryder-Cup style competition between the top amateur golfers and the top golf professionals in Arizona, with the first matches being held in 1961 at Moon Valley Country Club. Starting in 2013, it has been hosted at Phoenix Country Club each year.

 

 

Two Teams of twelve players each, Open and Senior, will be filled according to the following criteria:

Eligibility: TPA membership and ranking on the respective Player of the Year points lists as of deadline provided on Golf Genius.

 

Open Team Automatic Selection – the top-11 TPA players based on point total from the Open Player of the Year points list will receive automatic team berths. (The final player comes from the captains pick.)

 

Senior Team Automatic Selection – the top-9 TPA players, age 50 and over from the Open and/or Senior Player of the Year points list and the top two TPA players from the Legends Player of the Year points list.  (The final player comes from the captains pick.) 

 

If any automatic selection declines the invitation to play, that position will be returned to the AGA Tournament Staff and Tournament Committee to complete the team(s). The Tournament Staff and Tournament Committee will do so at its discretion from the AGA members with the intent of fielding the best team possible.

 

Team Captains: The Players with the highest total on the respective Player of the Year points lists will be the captain for that team.  Each captain may appoint one AGA member at his sole discretion to the team.  Eligible captain’s picks must be an AGA member in good standing who has played in a minimum of one AGA event in the calendar year.  (If an Open or Senior player is unable to play, a replacement will be made from the same age group).

 

"The Goldy" is a Pro-Am held the day before the Goldwater Cup matches with SWPGA professionals, AGA players, Phoenix Country Club members, and The Thunderbirds all participating.
