Global InformationTavistock Cup information
The Tavistock Cup was a team golf event played in Florida that featured the top-ranked golf professional members of six international golf clubs: Albany, Isleworth, Lake Nona, Oak Tree National, Primland, and Queenwood. The two-day tournament was an officially sanctioned, unofficial-money PGA Tour event. The inaugural Tavistock Cup matches were held at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in 2004.
Through 2010, the Tavistock Cup was contested by Isleworth and Lake Nona golf clubs. In 2011, the Tavistock Cup was expanded with the addition of teams representing the clubs of Albany and Queenwood, which are located in the Bahamas and Surry, England, respectively.
Opened in 2010, Albany was Tavistock Group’s newest golf club community, and Queenwood became the first golf club not developed by Tavistock Group to participate in the Tavistock Cup. In 2013, the Tavistock Cup further expanded to a six-team competition by adding Oak Tree National and Primland golf clubs.
Each team consisted of four golf professional members who play for prize money, team hole-in-one prizes and the title of World Golf and Country Club Champion. The professional members of these six golf clubs had collectively won more than 1,012 worldwide tournaments, including 67 major championships, through 2012.
Tickets were not sold to the public; only club members, residents, sponsors, designated charities and invited guests were able to attend the event. Once in, there were no ropes separating spectators from the players. Spectators wore the official team colors of Albany Pink, Isleworth Red, Lake Nona Blue, Oak Tree Orange, Primland Gold or Queenwood Green to show their support for their team.
The Tavistock Cup was televised each year on the Golf Channel in the United States and Canada and on international affiliates throughout the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia, Latin America and South Africa.
