Director's Cup Team Standings
The Director’s Cup Matches are goodwill matches that began in 2000. Originally they were called the Tri-State Director’s Cup Matches and featured teams from Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. In 2015 Missouri was added, thus dropping “Tri” from the name of the event. They are held on the years opposite the USGA Men’s State Team Championship.
Teams are made up of six individuals. The top four players in the standings below automatically are invited. The remaining two players are chosen as “Director’s picks” by the IGA Executive Director.
The 2017 Director’s Cup Matches will be hosted by the IGA at the Tournament Club of Iowa in Polk City on September 17-19.
Points are calculated using 50% of the prior year's Player of the Year point totals and 100% of the current year point total. Points will accumulate through August 13th (end of Herman Sani Tournament).
NOTE: Due to NCAA rules, college players are not eligible to compete.
