THREE-PEAT IN THE FIFTH ANNUAL NEXUS CUP

Noah Sharfman

For half a decade, the Manhattan Skyline overlooking the greens of Liberty National Golf Club has become an essential backdrop of NEXUS Cup, the ultimate amateur golf event. The 2024 edition was no different.

Eighteen teams descended on New York for two days of spirited team match play and an evening of entertainment, all in support of TGR Foundation. After 36 holes of competition and the championship shootout, the Young Guns team was crowned the 2024 NEXUS Cup Champions. It was the team’s third straight NEXUS Cup victory.

Upon arrival at Liberty National for the start of the event, teams enjoyed a bespoke gifting experience including items from Sun Day Red and a Scotty Cameron putter fitting. Throughout the competition, teams were greeted on course by PGA TOUR players and icons. Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, Will Zalatoris, Lucas Glover and Colt Knost all greeted guests and assisted them on course in getting a leg up on the competition.

While the competition on course adds drama and intrigue, there is an intimate feel to the two-day event. On Monday evening, teams and their guests enjoyed a lively dinner at NEXUS Club New York. Michael Strahan, Woods, Fowler and Zalatoris entertained guests with stories and a game of ‘who is more likely to’ that left the room in stitches.

Adding to the event’s intimate nature, Woods and Fowler hosted an interactive session on the driving range before the final round’s matches teed off on Tuesday.

2024 marked the fifth playing of the NEXUS Cup. Event proceeds benefit TGR Foundation and its mission is to empower students to pursue their passions through education. By providing access to innovative programs and inspiring TGR Learning Labs, students from under-resourced communities receive opportunities and experiences that build the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to maximize their potential.
