The Ladies Ryder Cup is an annual, two-day GROSS match play event between MPWGA and SBWGA (SaddleBrooke Women’s Golf Association). It is played on HOA #1 & HOA #2 courses with teams of 16 participants.
Any MPWGA member is eligible to participate. However, because this is a Gross Match Play event, the team is generally made up of the 16 lowest handicap players.
The 16 players are paired against SBWGA players using handicap index.
Day 1 matches consist of 9 holes of better ball and 9 holes of alternate shot with two-person teams from each Association.
Day 2 consists of 16 individual head-to-head matches between an MPWGA player and an SBWGA player.
The Cup is awarded to the winning team at a luncheon hosted by the home team, which alternates each year. In the event of a tie, the Cup will be retained by the current champions.
