SINGAPORE — A trio of University of Texas men's golfers will compete at the 2025 World Amateur Team Championships on Oct. 8-11 (Wednesday-Saturday) at the Tanah Merah Country Club. Sophomore Daniel Bennett (South Africa), sophomore Eduardo Derbez Torres (Mexico) and senior Christiaan Maas (South Africa) will represent their respective countries in the prestigious tournament.
The World Amateur Team Championships are a biennial international amateur golf competition conducted by the International Golf Federation (IGF). This marks the 34th edition of the Men's World Amateur Team Championship, which was first played in 1958 on the Old Course at St. Andrews. The men will compete for the Eisenhower Trophy.
The men's Championship consists of 72 holes of stroke play, and teams are comprised of 2-3 players. In each 18-hole round, the total of the two lowest scores by players of each team constitutes the team score for that round. The total of the two-player team scores for the four rounds is the team's score for the Championship. The Champion is the team with the lowest total score of 72 holes.
The 2025 World Amateur Team Championships will feature 36 teams that will compete for the Eisenhower Trophy. The IGF utilizes the World Amateur Golf Rankings as a method to determine the qualification.
Singapore Time is 13 hours ahead of Central Daylight Time.
