​

A Marshal will be assigned to monitor the play on each course.

​

All players should check the transportation schedule in order to get to the courses in a timely manner to be prepared for play. Each player needs to be at the starting hole of their assigned course at least 10 minutes prior to their tee time ready to play. Please note that it will take between 5 and 10 minutes  transfer time from the bus drop-off location to the 1st hole on each of the courses. Also allow for warm-up time ahead of each day of play.

​

​

Before each round, all Players need to check in at the World Cup Pavilion and/or at their assigned course.

​

Players should hand in their scorecards within 30 minutes after finishing their round at the scoring control tables located at each resort. All players in the same group should sign and hand in together their scorecards.

​

In case of a tie after all 4 rounds, for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place positions in each category, there will be accumulative three-hole playoffs to decide the winner. In the event of a tie in those playoffs, a series of 5 shootout penalty putts will decide the winner(s). Each player shoots 5 penalty putts, and if the tie remains, the shootout then proceeds to sudden death.

Those players missing the cut will compete the final round within the positions for each assigned course.

Groups B and C will be decided by a draw with the remaining players.

​

​

Players travelling to the World Cup solely as part of the Team competition are not eligible to compete in the Individual competition.

All scorecards must be submitted together by both Coaches/Captains/Representatives with both of their signatures.

​

The matches will be played using ‘win a hole, score a goal’ scoring whereby all 18 holes are required to be played to allow a ‘goal difference’ or ‘hole difference’, calculation to be used in the event of a tie.

​

Each team must be present at the starting hole of the assigned course 10 minutes before the first kick of the match.  

 

Players are permitted to communicate with all registered players, officials, and registered caddies.

​

In the event of poor weather (including bad light) or any other extreme circumstance a match may be delayed or temporarily suspended. All suspended matches shall continue before commencing the next stage. If the suspension conditions persist, the number of holes for the unfinished matches or subsequent matches may be reduced in order to complete the competition.

 

Men:

The competition will consist of a total of 24 countries divided in 6 groups (A, B, C, D, E, and F) of 4 teams each. The teams will be ranked from 1 to 24 according to the sum of the best 4 scores of the 6 assigned players on Individual Round 1 (See Individual Competitions). In case of a tie, the tie-breaker criteria will be: the best 3 scores / the best 2 scores / the best score / best score’s on back nine / draw. 

​

The groups will be comprised as follows:

 

Group A:           1-12-13-24

Group B:           2-11-14-23

Group C:           3-10-15-22

Group D:           4-9-16-21

Group E:           5-8-17-20

Group F:           6-7-18-19

 

All teams within each group will compete against each other. The best team from each group plus the 2 best second placed teams overall with the highest number of points scored will move on to the Quarterfinals.

 

• Overall match won: 3 points

• Overall match tied: 1 point each

• Overall match lost: 0 points

 

All matches will be played over 18 holes Match Play format, with the exception of the 3rd place Matches that will be played over 9 holes Match Play format, using ‘win a hole, score a goal’ format. 

​

• Match won = 1 point 

• Match tied = 0 points

 

Team positions within each group will be determined by: total points, match difference, total matches won, hole difference, holes in favor, original Ranking (1-24).

​

Example: Team A vs. Team B

Single 1A    7   vs.   Single 1B    5

Single 2A   4   vs.   Single 2B    4

Single 3A   2   vs.   Single 3B    10

FS 1A         5    vs.   FS 1B           4

FS 2A         4    vs.   FS 2B          8

FB 1A         3     vs.  FB 1B           3

FB 2A        6     vs.   FB 2B          9

 

Team B wins 3-2

Team A has 0 points, 2 matches won, 31 holes in favor and 43 holes against (- 12 hole difference).

​

Team B has 3 points, 3 matches won, 43 holes in favor and 31 holes against (+ 12 hole difference). 

​

After the groups rounds, all first place teams will be ranked from 1 to 6, and the 2 second place teams from 1 to 2 based on: total points, match difference, total matches won, hole difference, holes in favor, original Ranking (1-24) to determine the knockout matches for the Quarterfinals (1 vs. 2nd 2; 2 vs. 1st 2; 3 vs. 6; 4 vs. 5).

​

The winner from 1 vs. 2nd 2 will face the winner from 4 vs. 5 in Semifinal 1, and the winner from 2 vs. 1st 2 will face the winner from 3 vs. 6 in Semifinal 2.

​

The winner from each Semifinal will play the Final for the World Championship. Semifinal losers will compete for 3rd place.

​

In the event of a tied complete match during the knockout stages, the hole difference / holes in favor will decide the tie; therefore, all 18 holes will need to be contested by all matches. If the tie persists, each team should choose 3 players to compete in 3 extra holes of Individual Match Play (1 player per hole – it can be any 3 players from the approved team line up for that match). If the tie still persists both teams should choose any of the 5 players from the approved team line up for the match for a penalty putts playoff (each player shoots 1 penalty putt and if the tie remains, the shootout proceeds to sudden death in the same putting order).

​
