A Look at The Golf Trophy – The Biggest Trophies Around the World
Turning your sights on a professional sport takes hours of dedicated practice and hard work but the rewards are worth it. Most pro golfers have spent a better part of their time competing in endless tournaments to receive that coveted golf trophy. At Trophy and Medal Boutique, we might not be able to present you with a master’s golf trophy but can certainly design one for you that will make you feel like one, wearing that sought-after green jacket.
A Golf Trophy – The Pinnacle of a Golfer’s Career
From the immaculate greens throughout America, to where it all started on the rolling hills of Scotland to the shores of South Africa and the deserts of Dubai, professional golfers travel the globe to collect the most prestigious and coveted golf trophies worldwide.
The Majors
Starting in April and ending in July are the four major golf tournaments where more than one golf trophy is up for grabs and the competition is like no other.
- The Masters – as the first tournament of the golfing season, getting to claim the trophy at the Augusta National Golf Club as well as the coveted green jacket sets the tone for the tournaments that follow.
- The PGA Tour – the trophies to be won on this tour are numerous, as this event takes place on various golf courses scattered all over the globe. Golfers stand a chance of winning the Ryder Cup, and the ultimate prize, the Wanamaker Trophy.
- The U.S. Open – winning the U.S Open Championship Trophy shows that the skills of a golfer are not limited to flat greens as the course is one of the most challenging in the majors.
- The British Open – this is the oldest golf tournament in the world and carries with it the prestige of being crowned the “Champion Golfer of the Year” and receiving the sought-after Claret Jug.
Closer to Home
Not to be outdone, South Africa has its fair share of competitive golf. The Nedbank Golf Challenge, known as the Million Dollar Challenge, attracts golfers from around the world and the Nedbank Golf Challenge Cup is a trophy worth its weight.
Competing with the Camels
If size matters, you need to practice your swing, up your handicap, and compete in the Dubai Desert Classic. The prize is a massive golf trophy in the shape of an antique silver jug that is so heavy that all you can do is pose next to it.
