Golf Sixes: Draw & Schedule
Published: Last updated:
Golf Sixes comes to the Centurion Club in St Albans this week, representing the latest innovative golf format from the European Tour.
Ryder Cup Players and European Tour champions a plenty occupy the field, where golfers from 16 different nations will compete in two-man teams to be crowned the champion duo on the final day.
Playing a six-hole course with themed holes that include shot clocks and a longest drive leaderboard, each team will play greensomes – where the two players select their best tee shot and then play alternate shot thereafter.
The top two teams from each of the four groups progress to the knockout stage – the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, a 3rd/4th place play-off match and the final – all of which will be contested on Sunday May 7.
The 16 competing nations, which include top seeded English duo of Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan, were allocated into the four groups below in Tuesday’s live draw on Sky Sports News HQ.
GROUP A:
England: Chris Wood, Andy Sullivan [#1]
Denmark: Thorbørn Olesen, Lucas Bjerregaard [#5]
Netherlands: Joost Luiten, Reinier Saxton [#10]
India: S.S.P Chawrasia, S Chikkarangappa [#13]
GROUP B:
