🔥 The 8v8 Valor Squad Battle – End of Season Finale

The TGC Teams season culminates in an intense winner-takes-all showdown—the Valor Squad Battle, where the top two teams go head-to-head to claim TGC Teams supremacy.

⚔️ The Battle Format

At the end of the season, the top-performing team’s captain will select eight (8) players to form their Valor Squad, competing against the runner-up team’s Valor Squad in a series of high-stakes matches.

This final battle consists of:

🏌 Four x 1v1 Nett Stroke Matches – Match Indexed

• Head-to-head Stableford using the course match index, ensuring strokes are evenly distributed across all 18 holes.
• As of 2026, one of the matches must be female v female.

🏌‍♂️ One x 2v2 Two-Ball Ambrose

• A straight-up, head-to-head Ambrose match, where teamwork and strategy are key.

🏌‍♂️ One 2v2 Canadian Alternate Shot

• A modified alternate shot format where both players tee off, then switch balls for their second shot before selecting the best ball to continue alternate shot play.
  • This format is basically a hybrid of Ambrose + Alternate Shot, with a twist after the drives.How it works1. Both players tee off.
    You hit your drive, your partner hits theirs.2. You then play each other’s tee shot.You walk to your partner’s ball and hit it.Your partner walks to your ball and hits it.(This is the “Canadian” twist — you swap for the second shot.)3. After those second shots, you choose the best ball.
    Just like Ambrose — pick the better position.4. From the chosen spot, you play normal alternate shot into the hole.If you played the second shot on the ball that gets chosen,
    → your partner hits the next one.Then you alternate shots until it’s holed out.

⚖️ Tiebreaker: The Ultimate Playoff Hole

With 6 match play points up for grabs, the chances of a tie are high. In the event of a tie, the captains will select their playoff lineup for a sudden-death Pure Alternate Shot Playoff Hole.

Each of the six Valor Squad members must be assigned a specific role:

1️⃣ Tee Shot Player – Hits the drive and is finished for the hole.
2️⃣ Approach Shot Player – Takes the second shot.
3️⃣ Scramble Player – Plays from wherever the approach ball lands. (unless it’s a bunker)
4️⃣ Bunker Player – If the ball ends up in a greenside bunker, only this player may take the shot.
5️⃣ 1st Putter – Takes the first putt attempt.
6️⃣ 2nd Putter – Takes the final putt if needed.

⏳ Each player is only responsible for their designated shot type—meaning strategy and captaincy are crucial in determining the order of play!

The team that wins the playoff hole secures TGC Teams glory for the season.
