An Annual Affair

The Random Cup

We’ll be returning to the “Cradle of American Golf,” Pinehurst, NC, to compete for the greatest prize in modern sports...The Random Cup.  Pinehurst has continued their efforts to lure the the 2026 Random Cup back by building yet another brand new course - Pinehurst #11 (lovingly referred to by Pinehurst Members as “The Random Course”). This year will feature first time defending champion Zo! Will we see a repeat for Zo, a return to glory for one of our multi-time champions, or will another new champ rise from the ashes?

 
 

In a gesture of our appreciation, the Random Cup has graciously allowed Pinehurst to insert their beloved “Putter Boy” into our logo. Pinehurst, you’re welcome.

“The Arches”

Random Cup headquarters since 2016, “The Arches” was built between 1917 and 1918 by the owners of Dixie Crystal Sugar. It was restored to its original design between 1996 and 1998. Due to absolutely unrelated contamination Gary’s lap pool has been transformed into a state-of-the-art short game facility, and the classic front porch features rocking chairs to enjoy the view. The house is three blocks from famous Pinehurst No. 2.

Not everyone is selected…

Another year, another rejection letter. Make some 3-footers under pressure, bub.

 

Sorry, Scottie, rescinded charges = rescinded invitation. Plus, Pinehurst already made you drop the soap…

One step closer, Tiger...keep grinding!

Sorry, Rahmbo, you weren’t selected this year. However, the guy watering the tree up there should expect his acceptance letter in the mail any day now.

 
 

PARTICIPANTS

MD v. Carolinas

The tradition of the Random Cup is to select the best degenerate golfers, gamblers and drinkers from Maryland and the Carolinas for a war for bragging rights. Maryland has had a strangle hold on the Cup since its inception in 2013 with only a single victor hailing from the Carolinas’ Region. See the full list of participants for this year’s Random Cup here.

Location

Pinehurst, NC

 

“The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area has a storied legacy of golf unlike any other place in the country. In 2014 we made golf history again when the U.S. Open and U.S. Women’s Open Championships were played back-to-back on the same golf course for the first time ever. However, this “accomplishment” pales in comparison to our honor in having hosted the Random Cup since 2016. The presence of the Random Cup has truly put our sleepy little southern town on the sports map.” - Pinehurst Chamber of Commerce
