The proposal
Since 2006, with the arrival of Golf Channel Latin America, we have carried out this unprecedented international competitive experience, which gives viewers in the region the possibility of living a unique experience and starring on the screen through television coverage. Since then it has been positioning itself as an aspirational event for players, but also for Caribbean Resorts, which make significant efforts to host it.
In the recent years, with the arrival of Wegolf as an exclusive agency, and the great support of some regional federations (such as the AAG in Argentina, or the Paulista Federation in Brazil and the Colombian Golf Federation), the Championship has experienced significant growth, exhausting its latest editions, and Consolidating itself as THE EVENT of which every golfer - who enjoys the competition - wishes to participate. In 2019 (in Tulum, Mexico), more than 200 people and amateur golfers from 12 countries competed for the Nations Cup, in teams of friends representing their clubs, or measured individually hand in hand with the best on the continent.
Over 85 golfers and 6 nations participated in the XVI edition of the largest amateur championship in the region, held from October 7 to 12, 2024, at Casa de Campo Resort & Villas, the #1 Golf Resort in the Caribbean.
The Brazilian team, consisting of Suin Lee, Herik Machado, Leandro Metzner, and Fernando Silva, claimed their first Nations Cup title with a total of 645 strokes. Argentina secured second place.
We will soon be launching the XVII edition of the Championship. If you want pre-reserve your spot, click the Pre-registration button.
