ABOUT THE JANSEN CUP

 

The Jansen Cup FootGolf competition is similar in concept to the Ryder Cup in golf but not identical.

 

Ninety years after a competition for the Ryder Cup in golf was played for the very first time, Great Britain and USA will compete in this biennial event also on a golf course – FootGolf’s Jansen Cup. The event honours Michael Jansen, one of the creators of FootGolf as we play today. Just as Samuel Ryder’s name lives on in golf folklore, so too will Jansen’s as FootGolf grows into an international, mainstream sport. 

 

The Jansen Cup will pit the top GB Players Men, Women, and Seniors to be ranked by category against the top players of the United States. With both national organisations setting stringent qualification criteria, for players looking to realise the honour of being selected for their FIFG member countries.  

 

Each team will consist of 24 players (16 men, 4 seniors and 4 women), who will compete in matches like those of the Ryder Cup in golf – fourball, foursomes (alternative shot), and singles.
