The Directors Cup is a goodwill competition between Central Links Golf (Kansas), Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri. It is staged every other year and consists of round-robin Four-Ball, Foursomes and Singles matches. Each association is represented by six (6) male players. Each match has three points available (one point for the front nine, one point for the back nine, one point for the overall match result).
2023 Team Qualification
The Directors Cup team is selected based upon the Directors Cup Point Standings on August 29, 2023. The top six (6) available players on the Directors Cup Point Standings will be selected. The Directors Cup Point Standings are calculated by combining 50% of a player’s 2022 Kansas Player of the Year point total with his current year’s points accumulated in Directors Cup point earning events listed below. High school and collegiate golfers at any level are not eligible to represent the Central Links Golf team.
