Mark your calendars, fellas! The annual Dude Cup is heading to sunny Tucson, Arizona for four unforgettable days of golf, sunshine, and shenanigans. We're taking over the stunning Ventana Canyon Golf Resort for what promises to be our most epic gathering yet!
The reservation window opens mid-February, and you'll get detailed instructions on locking in your spot with the resort. We're rolling with a solid 24-man roster this year, bringing back the fan-favorite Stableford format with live scoring through Golf Genius. But here's the kicker—we're introducing flights to divide the competition into three skill groups.
What does that mean for you? More competitive action, tighter matches, and most importantly, more Dudes walking away with cold hard cash in their pockets. Whether you're a scratch golfer or still looking for your first par, you'll have a legitimate shot at glory and bragging rights that'll last all year.
