The format in which the first round matches will be played is four-ball, also known as best ball. In this format, both players of each team play their own ball, and the best score achieved between the members is taken as the team's score.
In the second round, two sessions are played, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, in foursomes, also called alternate shot. In this format, team members take turns hitting the ball until it is holed. One team member hits the tee shot on the even-numbered holes and the other does the same on the odd-numbered holes.
Team Cup's individual matches are reserved for the final day, but as in the previous two days, they will be played in Match Play mode. In this mode, players compete on a hole-by-hole basis, earning one point for each hole won and half a point for a tie. The player with the most points wins the match.
