Reynolds Cup presented by National Car Rental, a golf tournament for corporate executives who thrive on competition and camaraderie, is set for Sept. 13-15 at Reynolds Lake Oconee, the award-winning golf community and destination resort between Atlanta and Augusta.

Showcasing two of its six golf courses—the Rees Jones-designed Oconee course and the Tom Fazio designed National course—the Reynolds Cup field of 40 two-person corporate teams will compete over 36 holes, with scoring based on a Stableford Best Ball format. 

The Reynolds Cup promises a one-of-a-kind experience at a world-class venue for executives who want to combine meeting with competing. Players and guests will have access to the unrivaled amenities of Reynolds Lake Oconee, everything from wellness to watersports.

Guests will enjoy the newly renovated accommodations at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, and meals and events crafted at the hands of a Certified Master Chef, in addition to excellent networking opportunities.  

“Golf is the game of business,” said Rob Connors, vice president of business development for National. “We’re thrilled to sponsor the fourth edition of the Reynolds Cup, which brings together corporate leaders from industries across the country to enjoy the game in such a beautiful setting.

Since 1947, presenting sponsor National Car Rental has served the rental car needs of frequent business travelers around the world. National – which launched the car rental industry’s first comprehensive frequent-renter program – further expedites the rental process through its award-winning Emerald Club by offering members counter bypass as well as access to National’s Emerald Aisle.
