Nomura Cup

The Nomura Cup, also known as the Asia-Pacific Amateur Golf Team Championship, is a biennial amateur team golf championship for men organised by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation. The inaugural event was held in 1963 and it has been played in odd-numbered years since.[1]

Format

Teams consist of four players. The tournament is held over 4 days with 18 holes of stroke play on each day, the best three rounds counting for the team score.

History

In the early tournaments, only the Philippines, Japan and Chinese Taipei competed. By the eighth championship in 1977, held in Malaysia, a then record of 10 nations were competing. Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea were invited beginning with the 1979 tournament. Only Australia, Japan and Chinese Taipei have won multiple times. South Korea, New Zealand and India have won as hosts. Thailand took an early lead at the 2017 tournament[2] and managed to secure a maiden win.[3] The 2019 edition scheduled for Hong Kong was postponed due to security concerns.[4][5]
