Role of Captains

The Thales Golf Trophy is a team competition.

The organizers of the 2024 edition reaffirm this notion and want to strengthen the team spirit that should result from it, three decisions; were taken for this purpose:

1. Retain 5 cards out of 6 max in order to make all players responsible for their team's results (stableford game formula)

2. Divide the teams into 4 team series based on the average index of each team, and make a gross and net ranking in each of these 4 team series; this is to allow each team to compete within its series towards an achievable objective (since the maximum difference between teams in the same series will be less than 5 index points). The TGT champion in gross and net will be the team having obtained the best result in all series combined.

3. When awarding prizes, prioritize team awards over individual awards.

 

These choices imply that the role of team captains is strengthened and that the captains must fully play this role, which is above all a managerial and leader role.

​
