The History Of The Golf Trophy
There are various golf trophies handed out today as part of the professional golf series. The majority of these trophies were founded between 1970 and today. But there is one that hails from the 1930s, representing the age and long time love people have for the game of golf.
The Vardon Golf Trophy
The Vardon Golf Trophy is not given to a player that wins one golfing event, rather to the player that accumulates the highest scoring average throughout one season of golf. Established by the PGA of America in 1937, this golf trophy is the oldest known professional award in golf. The history of the Vardon Golf Trophy is far more interesting than some golf lovers may know. The award was ceased from 1942 until 1946 due to the financial crisis associated with World War II. When the golf trophy was given again in 1947, the player with the lowest scoring average was celebrated with the Vardon Golf Trophy. In 1988, the golf trophy rules changed again as golfers with the lowest adjusted score with a 60 game minimum was awarded with the Vardon golf trophy. The Vardon Golf Trophy is named for a British golf legend, Harry Vardon.
The Charles Schwab Cup
Moving from the oldest golf trophy to the newest, the Charles Schwab Cup is given to the golfer with the highest amount of points in a season. These points, however, are not linked to the number of tournaments won, but rather to the amount of money won in each tournament. Suffice it to say, the Charles Schwab Cup can be awarded to a golfer that never won a single tournament but finished high in every tournament. In this way, this golf trophy is a true representation of success in today's world. As all people know, golfing is a sport played for fun, but also a sport played as part of earning a living. The Charles Schwab Cup is a celebration of earning a successful living.
The Tours in Golf
There are three different golf tours that hand our golf trophies every year. These are the PGA Tour, the Champions Tour and the European Tour. The PGA Tour, by far, hands out the most golf trophies every year with seven trophies in all. The Champions Tour falls closely behind with six total golf trophies. The European Tour hands out only one golf trophy each year; the Order of Merit.
A lot has changed in golf through the years and along with that change has come a change in trophies and how they are handed out. Today, gold trophies are handed out for money, fame and expertise.
