The CDGA VGA Two-Person Veterans Cup Series is a premier golf event featuring three Qualifiers feeding into a Championship event, bringing together veterans in four competitive flights. Designed to honor their service, this series offers veterans a platform to showcase their skills, camaraderie and competitive spirit on the course. The events will be put on in conjunction with the Veteran Golfers Association (VGA), a group dedicated to enriching the lives of veterans and their family members through the camaraderie and sportsmanship of golf. Join the CDGA and VGA as they celebrate the dedication and resilience of our military veterans in this unforgettable golfing experience.

Format: 
  • Two-Person Team Scramble - All teams will compete for Gross and Net
  • Three Qualifiers will take place throughout 2024. The number of teams entered at each Qualifier will determine the number of flights (maximum of four). The top two gross and top two net teams from each flight at the qualifier will become eligible for the Championship.
  • Teams can participate in more than one qualifier. Each qualifier will be limited to the first 48 teams to sign up.
Forming a Team:
  • Teams may be made up of any two CDGA members who are veterans, active duty military or a family member (parent, spouse, child or sibling) of someone who has served in the Armed Forces
  • Following online registration via the links at the bottom of this page, veterans will need to submit proof of military service to the event organizers
    • This can be done by emailing a DD214 or Driver's License with Veteran Status to the CDGA's Kayla Fahrenbach at kfahrenbach@cdga.org. 
    • *Family & Friend members will not need to show proof of military related relationship
  • One individual must complete online registration for each team. All team members must be known at the time of online registration.
  • If an interested individual does not have a partner, one can be assigned based on qualifier location availability. If you wish to be teamed up with another individual, contact the CDGA's Kayla Fahrenbach at kfahrenbach@cdga.org or (630) 685-2301
