The Queens presented by Kowa is a women's professional team golf tournament held in Japan. The tournament is contested by teams representing the tours of Japan, Korea, Australia and Europe. Hosts Japan led from start to finish to win the inaugural tournament 4–6 December 2015.[2]
Format
The cup is played over three days with four teams of nine players each. There are 34 matches – eight four-balls day one, eight foursomes day two, and 18 singles on the final day. This is a similar format to the Solheim Cup.[3] Three points are awarded for each win and one point for halved matches.
Winners
After the final round at Miyoshi Country Club in 2015, the Japanese team ended with 41 points, just three ahead of the Koreans, who won eight of their nine singles matches. The LET team finished third with the ALPG in fourth.[2]
