Post-Chump Cup Celebration

JBG Implications

• The Chump Cup plays a significant role in the overall JBG Tour including:

  • The “Mulligan Rule”-  your Chump Cup finishing Rank score can replace your highest (worst) monthly Rank score from earlier in the same JBG season.​

  • For those who have participated in the Chump Cup in the past, the traditions continue:

    • The Chump Cup winner is etched forever in the annals of golf history!  The winner's name and winning score will be etched forever on the iconic Chump Cup.​

    • The Chump Cup winner will be awarded the 2026 Chump Cup 1st Place Purse.

    • The Chump Cup winner will be awarded the 2026 Solo Cup Trophy to add to their personal trophy case at home (not to be confused with the original Chump Cup).

    • And perhaps most importantly… an entire year's worth of bragging rights!!!
