Simpson Cup

The Simpson Cup is an annual tournament between teams of 13 injured Servicemen and veterans from the USA and their British counterparts.

The Ryder Cup-style tournament showcases the unique position of golf as one of the few sports where players of all skills and abilities can play together on a level playing field, because of the official golf handicap system.

The tournament is named after its founder, John Simpson, the former Senior Vice President of International Management Group (IMG), who has only one fully-functioning leg as a result of suffering from polio as a child. During his time at IMG, John managed elite sportsmen such as Sir Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Greg Norman, Vijay Singh, and Lord Sebastian Coe.

The Simpson Cup series is currently level at 5-5, with the following venues having hosted the event to date:

TPC Sawgrass (2012)
Royal Lytham & St Annes (2013)
Congressional Country Club (2014)
Royal St. George’s Golf Club (2015)
Oak Hill Country Club (2016)
Royal Birkdale Golf Club (2017)
The Maidstone Club (2018)
St Andrews Links (2019)
The Creek (2021 - postponed by a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic)
Baltusrol GC (2022)

In 2023, we head to Lytham for the second time, where the Simpson Cup will no doubt deliver a golfing extravaganza once again. 

Competitors involved in the Simpson Cup are all members of the On Course Foundation. The Simpson Cup raises awareness and funds for the On Course Foundation, a 501(c)(3) registered organization in the USA and a registered charity in the UK.
