Crystal Cup Invitational

The Crystal Cup Invitational is an annual tournament with the 2024 event being held on September 23.   Participation in the event is by invitation to the top 120 point earners in qualifying Club tournaments from January through August.  You are not required to play in all eight qualifying events. Participation in the qualifying tournaments and the Crystal Cup Invitational is open to all golfers, men, women and juniors.

 

Immediately following completion of the qualifying tournaments, the top 120 point earners will be invited to participate in the Crystal Cup Invitational.  In the event any qualifying player does not accept their invitation by August 20, 2024, the next player on the points list will be invited. If the top 120 qualifiers includes ties, invitations will be extended to those that competed in the most tournaments throughout the series, then to those with the lowest total scores.
