The Crump Cup The first Crump Cup tournament was held in 1922. It is named for George Arthur Crump, a hotelier and golf course architect primarily known for designing and building Pine Valley Golf Club. The format for the four days is two rounds of stroke play qualifying, followed by four rounds of match play. Players are flighted according to their qualifying position, and a separate Senior flight includes two of those flights. The final round has traditionally been held on the last Sunday in September. It’s the only day of the year when the public is invited to the grounds of Pine Valley; golf lovers are bused in to enjoy the grounds and watch top-level golfers compete.
DID YOU KNOW? Jay Sigel has won the event the most times, with nine victories between 1975 and 1993.
This year’s 93rd annual Crump Cup is at Pine Valley Golf Club September 25-28. The grounds are opened to the public only once a year. Last year, Michael Muehr, of Potomac Falls, Va. captured the 2014 Crump Cup title with a 2-and-1 victory over Michael Castleforte of Chicago. This was Muehr’s second win Crump win.
