The Cup is majorly broken into two categories: The Merchants’ Cup which is open only to those corporate houses which have at least three executive golfers based in the Eastern Region and The Challenge Cup which gives smaller business houses the perfect opportunity to network with people who matter.
The format of play is rather gripping and exciting. The Merchants’ Cup shall be played on Open Stroke Play and the Challenge Cup will be played on Callaway Scoring System.
A grand prize presentation ceremony at The Oberoi Grand on July 25 will bring down the curtains on the week-long golf bonanza. The prestigious event is managed by leading event management company Tiger Sports Marketing.
