サンケイスポーツダブルスマッチプレースプリング 2026

Sanspo Doubles Match Play Spring 2026 is an amateur golf team championship organized by Sankei Sports and operated by First Co., Ltd. The competition is built around two-person teams and accepts men’s pairs, women’s pairs, and mixed pairs. It is structured as a progression from regional qualifying rounds to main-round play and a national final. In the qualifying stage, both players complete each hole and the better score is used as the team score, creating a doubles team format based on best-ball scoring. In the main stage, teams compete hole by hole in match play, again using the better score from the two teammates. The final tournament uses both match-play and stroke-play elements. The event applies the Rules of Golf of the Japan Golf Association together with local rules set for the tournament. Eligible participants are amateur golfers, and the event includes awards such as participation prizes for qualifying teams and a one-year seed into the following year’s match-play main tournament for teams reaching the national event, subject to the stated team-member conditions. The source also notes additional awards, including qualifying, best score, challenge, best dressed, and contribution prizes.
