World Cup of Golf
The little known World Cup of Golf is coming up this year, and they are switching back to the team format for the first time in a few years. The format for the World Cup is that they have 28 teams with the highest golfers from 28 different countries, and those players would select a player in the top 100 in the Official World Golf Rankings, if there are no golfers in the top 100 then the next highest golfer that is between 101-500 in the OWGR would be chosen. However if there are no golfers in the top 500 in the OWGR then the golfer gets to choose his teammate. To me this seems like a very confusing process, so I am coming up with a new format of choosing teams for the World Cup of Golf. In this format there is a 64 team tournament, with the 4 highest players from each country in the tournament. The teams will be chosen by going through the OWGR and I will add 4 golfers to each team until I get to 64. The seeds for the tournament will be chosen based on the lowest combined number of their world golf ranking.
