WATC Format

Each team has two or three players and plays 18-holes of stroke play for four days. In each round, the total of the two lowest scores from each team constitutes the team score for the round. The four-day (72-hole) total is the team’s score for the championship. The WATC will have approximately 720 participants from 72 competing nations in both the men’s and women’s tournaments.

Prizes

The winning team in the women’s competition receives custody of the Espirito Santo Trophy for the ensuing two years. The winning team in the men’s competition receives custody of the Eisenhower Trophy for the ensuing two years. Members of the winning teams receive gold medals, members of the second-place teams receive silver medals and members of the third-place teams receive bronze medals. The lowest individual score in each championship is recognised at the respective closing ceremony, but no prize is awarded.

Practice Rounds

Each team will be assigned one practice round time on each course.  Practice round schedules will be allocated by the IGF; requests for specific times/courses will not be accepted.  Teams missing their assigned practice round times will not be permitted to play at another time unless there are exceptional circumstances, in which case any changes must be approved by the IGF in advance.  Please note that it will not be considered exceptional circumstances if players/teams choose to travel on practice round days.  Further, if inclement weather causes delay or cancellation of a practice round, that round will not be re-scheduled.

Note: Teams will not be allowed to play a practice round if they have not registered. All Team members (i.e., Captain and Players) must be present together at registration.
