Golf just got a serious upgrade. This month, The Crystal Cup makes its highly anticipated debut—a reimagined amateur golf tournament that marries competitive spirit with high-end travel and unforgettable settings. Conceived by luxury cruise line Crystal in partnership with golf powerhouse Troon, this event offers an immersive experience crafted for players who live and breathe the sport.

Two-player teams will square off in qualifiers hosted at ten of the most prestigious private clubs in the country, each selected for its elite atmosphere and jaw-dropping design. The journey then continues through regional events and will pop up at premier Troon-affiliated public courses, like the postcard-worthy Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, California. Expect elevated hospitality, world-class greens, and the kind of camaraderie that defines why we play.
Finalists will earn their way to another picturesque course that will soon be revealed. It’s here, in October 2025, where competitors will not only play on a storied location in America but also share the fairway with legends like Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald and Solheim Cup champ Lexi Thompson. As Thompson puts it, “This tournament combines the thrill of competition with the luxury of a Crystal cruise—creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.”
At its core, The Crystal Cup is a tournament that celebrates the game’s elegance, the joy of travel, and the pursuit of excellence. With Crystal’s signature service and Troon’s golf pedigree, players can expect a level of play and luxury that sets a new standard. Whether you’re chasing the cup or soaking in the views between swings, The Crystal Cup offers a refined, all-encompassing golf experience unlike anything else available to amateur players.
