TEAMS

The top seven countries will be determined by the combined Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings of the top four players from each country as of the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings published after the conclusion of the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on June 23. Countries must have a minimum of four ranked players to be eligible. One World Team will also be included and will be determined at the player deadline.

If there is a tie for any of the top seven positions, the country with the highest ranked player will be used as the tie-breaker.

PLAYERS

The final field of 32 players will be determined via the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings published after the conclusion of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open on Aug. 4. The top four ranked players from each pre-qualified country will qualify for their respective country’s team. The World Team will consist of the top-ranked player from each of the following four regions, not from a country already qualified: 1) Americas (North America and South America); 2) Europe; 3) Asia; and 4) Africa and Oceania.

If a player ranked in the top four of a pre-qualified country chooses not to compete or is unable to compete, the spot will be filled by the next highest ranked, available player from the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings for that country, dating to the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings published after the conclusion of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open on Aug. 4. If a qualified player on the World Team chooses not to compete or is unable to compete, the spot will be filled by the next highest ranked, available player from the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings from that Region, dating back to the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings published after the conclusion of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open on Aug. 4. Substitutions will not be allowed once pairings are published for the first round of the matches.

COMPETITION

The competition will take place over four days. It will feature three days of four-ball competition on Thursday to Saturday. The top two countries from each Pool will advance to Sunday. Two semifinal matches will be played Sunday morning. Each semifinal match will consist of two singles matches and one foursomes match. The winning semifinal countries will compete in the final match on Sunday afternoon. A third-place match will also take place between the two losing semifinal countries. Both the final match and the third-place match will be played in the same format as the semifinals.

SCORING

Points will be awarded per match based on the following – one for a win, a half for a tie and zero for a loss. All points from the four-ball matches on Thursday to Saturday will be cumulative and will determine the top two countries advancing from each Pool. On Sunday, the first country to two points will win the head-to-head matchup.

SEEDING

The eight teams will be seeded No. 1 through No. 8, and they will be divided into two pools based on the cumulative team ranking of the four players’ Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings published after the conclusion of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open on Aug. 4.

At the conclusion of the three days of four-ball competition, the two countries with the most points from each Pool will advance to Sunday.

BREAKING TIES

In the event two countries are tied for first in each pool, the following formula will be used to break ties:

Total points accumulated in head-to-head matchups between the tied countries
Total number of matches won in all six four-ball matches
Highest seeded country entering the competition

If three or more countries are tied for first place, or two or more countries are tied for second place within each group, a playoff will be used to determine the countries advancing to Sunday. If there are only two countries in the playoff, the format for the playoff will be hole-by-hole, four-ball match play (i.e. concessions allowed). If there are more than two countries in the playoff, the format for the playoff will be hole-by-hole, four-ball stroke play (i.e. concessions not allowed).

SEMIFINALS, FINALS

The semifinals will take place on Sunday morning. The first-place country from Pool A will play the second-place country from Pool B. The first-place country from Pool B will play the second-place country from Pool A. Each matchup will consist of two singles matches and one foursomes match (lineup determined by each respective country). The country that is first to reach two points will win their match. The winning countries from the semifinals will play each other on Sunday afternoon in the final match, while the losing countries will play each other in a third-place match. All matches will be played to a conclusion (no tied matches).
