USA Team Selection Criteria


The four highest ranked U.S. mid-amateurs and senior-amateurs on the lists below will earn automatic spots on the 2016 U.S. Concession Cup Team. All automatic bids for the 2016 U.S. Concession Cup Team will be determined on October 15, 2015. The remaining picks will be selected on November 15, 2015 by the Amateur Golf Alliance (AGA), a newly formed organization established to conduct The Concession Cup matches as well as other events in an effort to promote the amateur game at the highest level of competition.

The lists below contain eligible players (25+ for mid-amateur, 55+ for senior amateur) from the USA. The Concession Cup committee has identified eligible players by their participation in existing mid-amateur or senior-amateur competitions with the same age eligibility criteria. These eligible players are ranked in order based on their World Amateur Golf Ranking™ (WAGR™) position and the rankings will be updated each Thursday through October 15, 2015 in conjunction with the release of WAGR™ each Wednesday. Note that the WAGR™, USGA, and The R&A are not involved in this process of identifying eligible players. If you are an eligible player that you feel should be on these lists, please contact The Concession Cup committee.
