The Falcon Cup

INTER-CORPORATE GOLF LEAGUE

The Falcon Cup league offers corporate golf enthusiasts a premier platform to represent their companies in competitive tournaments. Played across multiple regions in the USA, the Falcon Cup unites golfers from diverse industries in a Ryder Cup-inspired team format that fosters camaraderie and company pride. Corporate golf teams of 12 players each compete against one another on the regional courses in multiple qualifying rounds followed by the playoffs. At the conclusion of the regional league, the champions will be invited to compete in the Falcon Cup Nationals in Las Vegas.

REGIONAL LEAGUES

The Falcon Cup is an annual inter-corporate golf league held across multiple regions in the USA. All rounds are held on weekends over approximately eight months, with one round scheduled each month. Each regional league operates independently, and game schedules may vary based on specific weather conditions in each region.

LEAGUE COMPOSITION

The Falcon Cup League consists of multiple corporate teams. In each round, 12 players from one team compete against 12 players from another in a head-to-head four-ball match play to win individual holes.

Falcon Cup uses net scoring, where players’ scores are adjusted based on their handicaps.

PLAYERS

Falcon Cup welcomes men and women amateur golfers with an established handicap who are corporate employees or contractors of the companies they represent. Team captains may recruit a few amateur golfers outside the company, however, no more than three external players can participate in any tournament.

No permanent roster is required for each team and there is no limit on the number of players that can be on the team’s roster. New players can be added at any times during the regular season of qualifying rounds. Falcon Cup recommends having around 24 players per team and rotate them during the qualifying rounds.

Two companies can make a joint team. Companies may enter more than one team in the Falcon Cup league. Players must remain with the team they registered with for the entire season.

TEAM CAPTAIN

The team captain serves as the leader and representative of the entire team. Co-captains may be appointed to assist the team captain.

The team captain selects 12 players from their team to participate in each round.

Team captains are the first point of contact if a conflict arises during the tournament that cannot be resolved among the four players involved in the match play.

FOUR-BALL MATCH

Four-Ball match play involves two players from one team competing directly against two players from another team. Each member of a two-person pair plays his/her own ball. The pair whose player has the lowest net score (handicap adjusted) wins the hole for their team. If the low scores are tied for both pairs, the hole is a tie.

HOLES WON

Once the match is closed out, the holes up score will be awarded to the winning pair as Holes Won for their team.

MATCH POINTS

At the end of the eighteen holes, a two-person pair with the highest holes won is declared a winner. They earn two match-points for their team. In case of a tie, each pair is awarded 1 match-point.

The match may end early when one pair is up by more holes than there are left to play.

TEAM POINTS

At the end of a tournament, all Match Points scored by all six pairs are added to determine the team’s score. A team with more than 6 Match Points is declared a winner. The winning team earns 2 Team Points. In case of a tie, each team earns 1 Team Point.

REGIONAL COMPETITION FORMAT

QUALIFYING ROUNDS

Regional teams are divided into groups of four. If the total number of teams are not in multiples of four, some teams will play within groups of three. Each team opposes another team in their group twice in a four-ball match. Teams within the groups of four will play six qualifying rounds, whereas teams within the groups of three will play four qualifying rounds.

Cumulative Team Points, Match Points, and Holes Won will determine the standings on the leaderboard. Participating teams are expected to complete the schedule regardless of their chances of making it to the playoffs.

After the qualifying rounds, the team on top of the leaderboard in each group is declared the group winner. All group winners will automatically advance to the playoffs.

In case there are less than eight group winners, teams earning a wildcard berth will be determined by the highest percentage of total possible Match Points won in the regular season by the remaining teams across all groups. If any team decides not to play in the playoffs, the next team on the leaderboard will be invited to the playoffs.

PLAYOFFS

The playoffs are single-elimination rounds, consisting of Quarter–finals, Semi-finals, and the Final, all played in a four-ball match format. All players participating in the playoffs must have played in at least one qualifying round.

Unlike the qualifying rounds, there are no ties in the playoffs, they must have an outright winner. Team Points, Match Points, and Holes Won will be used to declare a winner in each playoff match. In the event of a tie, a sudden death playoff will be held between the lowest-handicap players from each team.

FALCON CUP NATIONALS

Regional champions are invited to play in the Falcon Cup Nationals. The top corporate teams from around the country compete over two consecutive days in Las Vegas in the month of November for ultimate victory. The format of the Falcon Cup Nationals will be a net aggregate stroke match play. More details to be finalized soon!
