Michigan State golfer and reigning U.S. Amateur Champion James Piot’s preparation for next week’s Masters Tournament seems to be working quite well. Piot will be teeing it up next week at Augusta National. As the reigning 2021 U.S. Amateur Champion, he was accorded an invitation into the Masters.
The Georgia Cup is annually held the prior to Masters week and pits the British Amateur Champion, Laird Shepard against the U.S. Amateur Champion.
The first Georgia Cup was held in 1998 at The Golf Club of Georgia with Matt Kuchar defeating Craig Watson.
The Georgia Cup is a special opportunity for galleries to walk The Golf Club of Georgia. Entry is complimentary, as spectators are invited to spend the day with the two finest amateur golfers in the world. In the spirit and intimacy of the Walker Cup matches, fans can walk with the players, unhindered by gallery ropes. The Georgia Cup has grown from an intimate Club event to a unique amateur championship known on both sides of the Atlantic.
