East Lake Cup Format
East Lake Cup is a golf competition that spans three days following the format from the final three days of the NCAA men’s and women’s golf national championships. The first day consists of the eight teams competing in individual stroke play to determine the individual champion and to seed for two days of match-play competition. On Tuesday and Wednesday two simultaneous match-play tournaments will take place (men & women).
East Lake Cup benefits the East Lake Foundation which helps families build better lives through education, community wellness, and mixed-income housing. The East Lake Cup has raised almost $1.5 million to support the foundation since its beginning in 2015. These efforts have put Eat Lake on the map and made it a place where people from all incomes choose to live. You can learn more about their great work here.
