The
Tavistock Cup
presented by Citi Private Bank pits the golf professional members
of Isleworth versus their counterparts at Lake Nona. This unique team competition brings together crosstown rivals in the ultimate showdown to determine the World Golf and Country Club Champion. The two-day tournament will take place on March 16 and 17, 2009 at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, where the inaugural matches were held in 2004. Each year, members and invited guests walk the fairways and cheer on their team as contestants compete for a purse valued at over $3.7 million, of which $1 million is donated to charity on behalf of the winning team.
Unlike anything else.
“It’s all about bragging rights . . . two great clubs, great members and great pros. It doesn’t get any better than this.”

Team Isleworth
claimed their
third Tavistock Cup in the tournament’s five-year history last year at Isleworth Golf & Country Club. Rookie J.B. Holmes’ spectacular performance led Team Isleworth to a 19 ½ to 11 ½ victory over Team Lake Nona. Holmes won a brand-new Cadillac Escalade hybrid after his shot landed 21 inches from the pin on #15. His monster-drive on Hole #7 secured Team Isleworth an additional $110,000 as he clinched the Old Mutual Long Drive Challenge. Holmes also took home the Payne Stewart Salver Award for low medalist on Tuesday, securing this honor for a Team Isleworth member for the fifth straight year. Over the past year, Isleworth has claimed 15 worldwide victories, including six PGA Tour victories and three LPGA Tour victories. Tiger Woods took home his 14th major championship title at the 2008 U.S. Open following a 91-hole battle at Torrey Pines. Team Isleworth looks to defend their World Golf and Country Club Championship title at Lake Nona.

Team Lake Nona
’s eventful
year in professional golf produced one major championship and nine worldwide victories. Less than three weeks after the 2008 Tavistock Cup, Trevor Immelman took home his first major championship title and the green jacket at the Masters. Shortly thereafter, Sergio Garcia won THE PLAYERS Championship, his seventh PGA Tour title. At the 2008 British Open Championship, Ian Poulter finished second at Royal Birkdale, while teammate Henrik Stenson completed the tournament tied for third. Ben Curtis and Sergio Garcia both finished tied for second at the 90th PGA Championship at Oakland Hills. Designed by Tom Fazio in 1986, Lake Nona’s championship course continually ranks among the top 100 courses in the world and has hosted a number of international tournaments including the inaugural Solheim Cup, two Tavistock Cups, the World Cup of Golf, and most recently the 2008 Southern Amateur Championship. With home course advantage and more than 375 worldwide victories, Team Lake Nona looks to reclaim the coveted Tavistock Cup and the title of World Golf and Country Club Champion.

Lake Nona
is a 7,000-acre master-planned community within the city of Orlando that is being developed
by Tavistock Group. Lake Nona is quickly becoming the epicenter of biomedical research in Florida. In late 2007, community leaders broke ground on both the Burnham Institute’s new East Coast Campus at Lake Nona and the UCF College of Medicine, which will be cornerstones in the emerging 600-acre Science & Technology Park. Lake Nona will also be home to world-class education, medical and recreational facilities, diverse workspaces, retail centers, entertainment choices and residential options for all types of individuals seeking the best the city has to offer with all the conveniences of living within a dynamic and vibrant community.
