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 20-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.
This isn't just another golf trip—it's the golf trip. Here's what your $875 package delivers:
Premium accommodations at Ventana Canyon Resort with access to all resort amenities. Think pool time, mountain views, and chill vibes.
Four incredible rounds split between the legendary Canyon and Mountain courses. Each layout offers its own unique challenge and jaw-dropping scenery.
As our most urban destination, we'll have quick access to the best Tuscon has to offer and will venture off campus for authentic flavors and festivities.
Five days of golf, sun, and shenanigans.
Travel day. Get yourself to Phoenix and check into the Air BnB. Shake off the travel dust — pool, practice range, or a cold one at the bar. Low-key evening to reconnect with the Dudes before the bonus round.
Ready to put your money where your swing is? An additional $200 buy-in covers everything that makes the Dude Cup legendary: tournament entry, prop betting action, and a swag bag that'll make your buddies jealous.
Here's the breakdown: $100 goes straight into the tournament prize pool, meaning serious cash for the podium finishers. Another $50 fuels our prop bet pool—think closest to the pin, longest drive, and other creative competitions that keep things interesting all week. The final $50 gets you premium swag including this year's exclusive ball marker and a mystery item that's sure to be a hit.
More flights mean more winners, and more winners mean more celebration. Whether you're gunning for the overall championship or just hoping to take down your flight, there's glory and greenbacks waiting for skilled shotmakers at every level.
