European golf continues its innovative ways, forming a mixed-gender event to be played this year.
The European Golf Team Championship will be contested Aug. 8-12 at Gleneagles in Scotland. The event will feature an equal mix of male and female professionals competing for equal prize money, in a team match-play format.
Here’s the setup:
• 16 male and 16 female teams will represent their countries – the men competing against the men and women against the women.
• Teams are determined by points accumulated based on the Official World Golf Ranking and Women’s Rolex Rankings, between July 10, 2017 and July 9, 2018, with a maximum of three teams representing any one nation.
