The 2024 Bridge Cup starts next week in South Korea.
Kindly
With the leaves changing color and football on TV every weekend, the unofficial golf season is upon us. But while the likes of Rory McIlroy AND Scottie Scheffler may be taking a break, that doesn’t mean there isn’t high-level golf being played – especially in the amateur ranks.
Enter the Bridges Cup. This elite amateur event features some of the best players in the world as 24 players compete in a Ryder Cup-style event. Established in 2022, this competition features two teams – one representing the USA, the other representing the rest of the world.
Team USA has won each of the first two Bridges Cup matches, but Team International will look to reverse that trend next week at Haesley Nine Bridges in South Korea.
