The tournament has been dominated by Australia, who have won the Cup 10 times, and Japan, who are seven-time winners. This event also has an individual champion.
The 29th Nomura Cup is being played this week at the Manila Southwoods Golf & Country Club. The Masters Course is arguably the premier championship course in the Philippines, it has been a design strategy punctuated by multiple creek crossings and lakes. The Club is located to the south of Manila, in the city of Carmona and the lush province of Cavite.

“These players are our future. With the continued support of the UAE Sport Authorities and Councils, the EGF will push our players to reach the next level of their golfing careers. This is not only a reflection of the development but also the vision of the Federation in supporting the youth in UAE golf.”
