$325k up for grabs at Coral Cup Golf

Through the tournament, the TT CA wants to promote networking among its local and regional partners and also raise funds for non-profit organisations within TT .

The tournament will be contested by 44 teams from throughout the Caribbean. A strong contingent is expected from Barbados, including West Indies cricketer Dwayne Smith and his partner Sean Edey, while long-standing participants Anderson Payne and Chris Pitt are back again.

The tournament format will be the two-ball better ball, which will utilise players’ full handicaps.

This year, the proceeds will go to the Lady Hochoy Home (Gasparillo branch).

A major feature of the event is the opportunity for a lucky golfer to win TT $325,000 for a holein- one from 180 yards on hole 17. Prizes will be awarded to the top 10 teams.

There will also be closest to the pin prizes on all par threes, while those not winning prizes will get a further chance in the lucky losers draw.

Major sponsors are Lifetime Motors, Trinidad Cement Limited, Lifetime Solutions, Caribbean Airlines, Suriname Airways and Royal Westmoreland.
