History

After five years of negotiation and planning, the first Women's World Cup of Golf was staged in February of 2005 at the Fancourt Estate's par-73 Links Course in George, South Africa.

The tournament was co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and the U.S. Ladies Professional Golfers Association. The three days of competition involved two-woman national teams competing in 18 holes of four-ball, 18 holes of foursomes, and 18 holes of combined stroke-play. The winners shared a prize of $200,000.

The Gary Player Country Club in Sun City, Soutb Africa, has hosted the tournament since 2006.
