The Challenge Cup is similar to the Kodak Challenge on the PGA Tour. For each event, “a hole” will be selected as the Challenge Cup hole of the day. The object is to have the lowest score in relation to par for 18 holes. Players must have played a minimum of 18 holes to qualify and may drop their worst holes for holes played in excess of 18. There will be both a gross and net division for the men and players may not win both. The ladies will also have a separate net division. The ladies will only count 9 holes, not 18.
