The 2020 BMW GAP Team Matches schedule for Divisions AA and A is now available.
The event’s 120th playing begins on Sunday, April 19. Reigning champion Huntingdon Valley Country Club, which captured a record 33rd title a year ago, opens its title defense against seven-time winner Aronimink Golf Club.
The complete BMW GAP Team Matches schedule will be announced later this month.
Since 1897, the BMW GAP Team Matches has been contested annually, save World War II (1943-45) and the severe ice storm of 1994. GAP forefathers conceived the Matches to promote spirit, fellowship and camaraderie. It started with the four founding clubs — Belmont Golf Association (now Aronimink), Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia Country Club and Philadelphia Cricket — each fielding two teams with six players per side. First known as the Interclub Team Matches, the event changed to the Suburban League Matches in 1915 before adopting its current moniker in 1997.
BMW returns as a presenting sponsor for the sixth consecutive year.
