Global legacy of the BMW Golf Cup
BMW Golf Cup, one of the world’s largest amateur golf tournament series, can trace its roots back a quarter of a century to a British-based initiative that ran independently for five years before going international.
The tournament started as the BMW Invitation Tournament in the UK and has now developed into a global series with 1,000 qualifying tournaments involving 100,000 players in up to 40 countries. The best players from each nation qualify for the highlight — the BMW Golf Cup World Final — where individual titles are contested in three categories.
Two handicap categories in 2026 edition
The BMW Golf Cup 2026 has two categories: A (for handicaps up to 12) and B (for handicaps 13–28). The winners of the individual handicap categories qualify for the National Final. The winners in each of the two handicap categories at the National Final qualify to take part in the BMW Golf Cup World Final.
