The Rival Cup is a new series of Purpose Driven Golf events that brings together two teams of avid golfers, representing the biggest college, corporate and pro sports rivalries to compete in a championship, match-play event.

THE PURPOSE

Raise awareness and philanthropic support for Mighty Hero Homes - a nonprofit organization with a mission to eradicate veteran homelessness.
​
According to the latest HUD Exchange report there were just over 37,000 homeless veterans accounted for in the United States.(1)

The MHH vision includes the development of over four-hundred "mighty home" communities across the country.  These 'bases' will provide housing, community, jobs, rehabilitation and hope for tens of thousands of Mighty Heroes who have faithfully served our country and who currently do not have a permanent address.
​

The Rival Cup is an exclusive opportunity for avid golfers to team up and represent their alma mater, organization or pro sports team, in a friendly and spirited competition.

​Complete with captains and custom uniforms, eligible team members* will participate in a 'friendly-fire' practice round and two rounds of 2-man, match-play competition.  Everybody who participates will bond together with old friends, build new relationships, and compete for bragging rights over their biggest rivals for at least one year.  Much like other long-standing, rival competitions, an annual event for each rivalry will take place and the winning team will be engraved permanently on The Rival Cup.

Each event is a premium, all-inclusive, stay and play experience that takes place over three days at some of our nations top golf clubs and resorts.

In addition to playing great golf courses, participants get to stay in luxury accomodations, network with other like-minded people, and experience great culinary creations.  There is an opening ceremony dinner, a Mighty Hero Homes presentation dinner, plus the closing ceremony event where the winners will be presented with The Rival Cup.  

It’s an experience any passionate golfer will not want to miss.
