The 2026 winners
The Trophy Cabinet
Five ways to go home a winner — and here is who did. The rules each one was played under are below.
The Kalidas Cup
The big one. The trophy went to the winning team — highest Stableford total over 18 holes, averaging each team's scores on every hole — along with a year of bragging rights at every family gathering until we do this again.
Europe — 2026 champions
Nearest the Pin
The 11th · par 3, 127 yards
The one straight over the lake. One shot from the tee, and the ball had to finish ON the green — in the bunker two feet from the flag didn't count, and neither did the bottom of the water.
Not awarded
Longest Drive
The 15th · par 5, 461 yards
A par 5, driver out and give it a rip. Biggest hit from the tee — but the ball had to finish ON the fairway. A 300-yarder into the trees was worth nothing here (and probably nothing on the scorecard either).
Won by Kish
MVP
Individual award
Most Stableford points on the day, full stop. Every point counted towards it — the MVP table is on the leaderboard.
Won by Nikash
Wooden Spoon
Individual award
The coveted award for the fewest points. Turned up, played golf, kept the drinks orders coming — the day literally doesn't happen without you.
Won by Kish
Everything except nearest-the-pin and longest drive came off the leaderboard. Those two were decided the old-fashioned way: a marker on the hole and shouting. The winners are engraved on the Roll of Honour.
