Iowa Cup Matches Format and Procedures.

The format consists of the top 20 available Iowa Section Professionals vs. the top 20 available Iowa Amateurs. PGA team will provide 14 players from the “Open Division”, 2 players from the “Assistant Division” and 4 players from the “Senior Division.” Play will be two days with the first day being alternate shot matches and 4-ball matches. The second day will be single matches. All participants will receive 20 Player of the Year points for the division that they are representing. Professionals must compete to receive Player of the Year points.

NOTE: If a player qualifies through multiple Player of the Year standings that player will represent the association in the PGA Player of the Year Division.

The team will consist of:
A. The host professional is exempt.
B. The previous year’s Section Champion.
C. The previous year’s Senior Section Champion.
D. The remaining players to be selected from the previous year’s PGA, Senior & Assistant Player of the Year point lists through the current year’s Iowa PGA Professional Championship. The 2020 Iowa Cup Matches Team and all subsequent years will use the appropriate points lists starting immediately after the previous year’s Iowa PGA Professional Championship through the current year’s Iowa PGA Professional Championship.
E. The PGA Officers shall select an “Honorary Captain.”

Effective in 2007 – There will be an Honorary Captain and Player’s Captain starting in 2007. The Player’s Captain will be the Section Champion from the previous year. The Player’s Captain will have the right to appoint two “Captain Picks” to compose the team. The PGA Team will still consist of 14 players from the Open Division, at least 2 players from the Assistant Division, and 4 players from the Senior Division. Example: If the Player’s Captain uses one of his/her picks on a Senior, then three additional players will be used off of the Senior Player of the Year standings to fill the second spot.

2024 Iowa PGA Team will be announced following the 2024 Iowa PGA Professional Championship
