Match Play Tournaments


 Match play is a scoring system in which a player, or team, earns a point for each hole in which they have bested their opponents.  Well-known match play team events are the Ryder Cup and the Solheim Cup.  

The Atlanta Chapter's history with match play tournaments started with The Dixie Cup and the Atlanta - Birmingham Challenge.  
  • The Dixie Cup began in 2000, open to active EWGA members in the chapters located in the South.  In the previous 11 years of competition, the Dixie Cup has been won five times by the HOTS and 6 times by the Carolinas.  The HOTS (Heart of the South) team is comprised of chapters in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.  The Carolinas team is comprised of chapters in North and South Carolina and Southern Virginia.  For information, go to Dixie Cup.

  • The Atlanta - Birmingham Challenge began in 2002.  The Challenge continues to be played in its Solheim Cup format.  For information, go to Atlanta - Birmingham Challenge.
