Caucasus Cup

The Caucasus Cup was launched in 2015 by a joint initiative between the golf federations of Armenia and Georgia. The Caucasus Cup format was designed to be similar to the Ryder Cup. The inaugural competition took place in Kachreti, Georgia at the Ambassadori Golf Club, and the 2016 event took place at the Ararat Golf Club in Yerevan, Armenia. The aim of this initiative is to make golf a more popular activity in the Caucasus region.[4]
