WAGC CHAMPIONSHIP
For over two decades World Amateur Golfers Championship has grown to become the worlds largest amateur golf championship, with national championships and players in the world finals from over 40 countries.
World Amateur Golfers Championship (WAGC) inspires amateur golfers from around the world to take on the challenge of competing within their own skill levels by receiving the same status as the professionals and elite do with the proud feeling of representing their country in a world championship final.
National Championships –> WAGC World Final
5 national flight winners compete in the world final individually and as a team.
The tournament begins as a national championship in countries around the world where the winners from five handicap flights in each country becomes National Champions of their flight and represents their national team as well as individually within their flights. The flights are: 0 – 5.4, 5.5 – 10.4, 10.5 – 15.4, 15.5 – 20.4 and 20.5 – 25.4
The world final is played over 72 holes (like professional PGA tournaments) with handicap adjustments between each round.
Format & Rules
The World Amateur Golfers Championship world final and World Amateur Golfers Invitational tournaments are played over 72 holes, stroke play, with hcp adjustments after each round, giving all a fair and equal opportunity both in the team championship and individually within each flight.
TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL
Players in both the Championship and the Invitational compete for individual titles within each flight, as well as a team title.
The Championship Team Competition combines the best four scores (of five) per day from the national team whereas the Invitational counts the combined total score of both team members.
AGE RULES
In order to participate in the world final you must be at least 16 years of age before the championship starts (and must be accompanied by an adult if under 18).
HANDICAP DOCUMENTATION
All Partners/ team managers/captains supply WAGC with a signed document listing their five championship players and the handicaps of the players on qualification. This signed document must be countersigned by a representative of the home country amateur golf union. This document must be sent to WAGC ([email protected]) prior to competing.
IMPORTANT
*Countries that do not supply this completed document would be required to start the championship off the minimum allowable handicap in each flight. Handicap 0 – 5.4, without paperwork means you start at 0.
HANDICAP FLIGHTS
The Championship is played in five handicap flights and the Invitational in six handicap flights, each played separately.
All WAGC players compete in the handicap flights they qualified into and most will play with their exact handicaps, with the following exceptions:
- Players entering the world final with higher handicaps than the flights they qualified into will play with the highest handicap for their flight.
- Players who enter the world final with lower handicaps than the flights into which they qualified will play with their current handicaps, even though they are lower then the flight.
EQUITABLE STROKE CONTROL
Equitable Stroke Control sets a maximum number of strokes that a player can post on any hole during the tournament to par +4.
In other words: If you are five over par on a hole, you pick up the ball and write the maximum strokes as shown below:
MAXIMUM STROKES
Par 3 = 7 strokes, Par 4 = 8 strokes, Par 5 = 9 strokes
HANDICAP ADJUSTMENT
To cope with the varying handicap rules from around the world handicap adjustments are made after each round. This balances the scores and gives a fair game under equal conditions.
The adjustment is based on the players score against par, see handicap adjustment chart.
Ex. If you play a Par 72 course and shoot between 77-79 you get 1 extra stroke the next round.
WAGC INVITIONAL
World Amateur Golfers Invitational is a separate tournament that gives golfers the opportunity to share in the exciting “WAGC experience” of a world-wide tour-like championship event without first having to qualify.
Business executives with VIP clients, national agents with sponsors, loving couples, celebrities, royalty and other enthusiastic golfers from all corners of the globe are regular participants of the World Amateur Golfers Invitational (WAGI), a tournament that’s played parallel to WAGC, on the same courses, same format and rules except that it is a 2-persons team event (not 5) and has 6 hcp flights (see format & rules).
Invited Players –> World Amateur Golfers Invitational
2-person team & invidually in 6 flights, no qualification
Participants are invited to take part in the Business Networking Program, where we pair our clients on the golf course based on their field of industry and pairing preferences, placing similar business interests in close proximity.
Living up to our motto “Sport Promotes Friendship and Business”, WGI endorses networking and helps achieve, build or further develop long-lasting global business relationships, as our participants are a diverse group representing a multitude of products and services, all with a shared interest of expanding their network with new friends, partners and business opportunities.
Non-golfers, such as spouses accompanying our participants, are offered a variety of activities to make up for the time their husband or wife is at the course.
As a part of a total experience for the players representing their country, a lot of preparations needs to be done. For instance housing for hundreds of players can become a problem. This year we have signed with the 5-star hotel Angsana Laguna Phuket during the World Final ... See MoreSee Less
