A single series will bring together all the participants with a mixed classification of gross and net points accumulated. For the first time in its history, the Friends Cup will also include a cut after the first round. Consequently, among the 90 competitors expected, only the first 60 at the end of the first round will be qualified to compete in the second.

Six different champions have already won the trophy in its history. Sylvain BELANGER, Hubert PAMELA, Blaise FOURREAU-HARDY and Joachim TOFT successively won the first four finals of the event. Emmanuel FELIX, meanwhile, triumphed at the 2016 Masters in Bellefontaine, which brought together the best players from the three previous editions and will now take place every three years. Disappeared in June 2016 and loyal player of the Friends Cup, Dominique FAYOLLE finally received a trophy this year, posthumously.

Who will win the fifth final in history? The competition promises to be very tight this year.

For its 2017 edition, the Friends Cup will once again be able to count on prestigious local and national partners.

At the forefront of these is the Opel-Orlandi concession which, for the fourth consecutive year, will bring into play an Opel Adam Rocks vehicle as part of a major “hole-in-one” challenge on the 7th .

Other partners will come to animate the event and participate in the beautiful endowment, such as Fairways, Swing-feminine, My Gift Box or even UGolf.
