The Dunlop Cup was a professional golf tournament played annually in Scotland from 1909 to 1912.
History
[edit]Entry was restricted to PGA members of the Scottish section and other professionals attached to a Scottish club. Prize money was £25, with £20 for the winner and £5 for the runner-up. The cup became the permanent property of any player who won it three times or two years in succession.[1] Robert Thomson won in 1911 and 1912, so he won the cup outright. The event was played either the day after or the day before the Scottish qualifying for the News of the World Match Play.
