Biennial world amateur team golf championship
The Espirito Santo Trophy (World Women's Amateur Team Championships) is a biennial world
amateur team
golf championship for women organised by the
International Golf Federation .
The inaugural event was held in 1964. It was instituted by the French Golf Federation in an agreement with the
United States Golf Association . It was planned by
Lally Segard , at the time known as Vicomtesse de Saint Sauveur, from France and Mrs. Henri Prunaret from America.
[1] Segard also asked her friends Ricardo and Silvia Espirito Santo, from
Portugal , to donate a trophy for the event, which they did.
[2] They had originally bought the golden cup, which had belonged to
Tsar Nicholas II of
Russia , for an international Portuguese event that was not played anymore. The championship was held under the chairmanship of Segard at Golf de Saint Germain outside
Paris, France . The week after, the
World Amateur Golf Council agreed to manage and sponsor the tournament, beginning in 1966, to be played every second year, and Segard was appointed chairperson of the women's committee of the council.
[3]
[4] The Council changed its name to the International Golf Federation in 2003.
Recent tournaments have featured teams from around 50 countries. It is a
stroke play event, in which the best two individual scores in each team count towards the final score.
For the first three decades, the championship was dominated by the United States. Later results have reflected the increasing globalisation of women's golf, with six different winners in six events from 1996 to 2006, and several top two placings by teams from
Asia .
South Korea won four times from 1996 to 2016.
The equivalent "World Amateur Team Championship" for men is the
Eisenhower Trophy .
