The best players from each nation qualify for the highlight, the BMW Golf Cup World Final, where the individual titles are contested in three categories. The BMW Golf Cup 2026 has two categories, A (for handicaps up to 12) and B (for handicaps 13 - 28). The winners of the individual handicap categories qualify for the National Final. The winners in each of the two handicap categories in the National Final qualify to take part in the World Final of the BMW Golf Cup. (ANI)
