Spring is here, the courses are open again, and that means it is time to launch one of the highlights of the UNGC calendar.

Registrations are now open for the 2026 UNGC Singles Match Play Championship, where players will once again compete head-to-head through the season in pursuit of our coveted UNGC Match Play Championship Trophy.

For those who have played before, you know the format: great golf, friendly competition, and the occasional dramatic finish. If you have not tried it yet, this is a perfect year to give it a go.
