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).
2025 Team Qualification
