2010 Nike Cup - 8/24/2010 |
General Article
The Nike Cup is a Ryder Cup style event that matches the top junior golfers from the SJGT against those from Georgia’s Cannongate Junior Tour. The SJGT team is made up of top performers in SJGT events that are played on Robert Trent Jones courses. The 2010 Nike Cup will be played on Labor Day weekend at RTJ Trail’s Capitol Hill in Prattville, Alabama.
The SJGT will feature 25 players, who will be invited to participate based on points that were earned at events played at the RTJ courses this year. The 25 spots will be broken down as follows:
Top 6 – Female Players (12-19)
Top 4 – Male 12-13 Players
Top 7 – Male 14-15 Players
Top 8 – Male 16-19 Players

Tie breaker for the team spots will be based on the final 36-hole tournament scores that a player posts. If that is tied, we will revert to the last round of that event and then finally to the last nine holes and so on following the tie breaking system in the USGA Rules of Golf. ***Note*** If both players are present at the final event and there is a tie to see who makes the team, we will have a sudden death playoff to determine the last spot on the team.
If you have played an SJGT event at a RTJ course this year and are curious about you position on the points list, please call our office.
