The Caribbean Golf Association (CGA) Four-Ball Golf Championship commenced on Friday at the Cinnamon Hill Golf Course in St James, Jamaica, marking the first time the event has been hosted in the country. The tournament, now in its sixth edition, features 90 golfers from eight Caribbean nations, including the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, St Lucia, Turks and Caicos Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and host nation Jamaica. The opening round faced disruptions due to heavy rainfall, prompting organizers to temporarily halt play until conditions improved. By Friday afternoon, participants were back on the course, striving to complete the first round. Teams are competing for the prestigious Ambrose Gouthro Cup, while individual players aim for category trophies across male, female, and age divisions, each named in honor of Caribbean golfers who have significantly contributed to the sport’s regional growth. Jamaica, the defending champion, has consistently dominated the tournament, securing the Ambrose Gouthro Cup in every edition. Trinidad and Tobago claimed second place in 2024 with 56 points, followed by Bermuda in third with 38. The Jamaican team boasts several past winners across categories, including Masters, Super Seniors, Seniors, Mid Amateurs, and Ladies divisions. The 54-hole championship is set to conclude on Sunday, with the announcement of overall and category winners.
