Dynasty Cup (golf)
The Dynasty Cup was a biennial golf tournament contested between teams representing Asia (excluding Japan) and Japan. Modelled after the Ryder Cup, it aimed to foster greater competition and camaraderie within Asian golf.
The tournament format typically consisted of team play matches over several days, including four-ball (best ball) and foursomes (alternate shot) formats, culminating in singles matches. Points were awarded for each match won, and the team with the most points at the end of the competition was declared the winner.
The Dynasty Cup was sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. Selection for the teams was usually based on players' rankings on their respective tours. While it showcased some of the best golfing talent from across Asia, the Dynasty Cup did not achieve the same level of prominence or longevity as other international team golf events like the Ryder Cup or the Presidents Cup. Its run was relatively short-lived, and it is no longer an active tournament. The event aimed to boost the popularity of golf in the region and provide a platform for Asian players to compete against each other in a team environment.
