The qualification for the national finale of the Audi quattro Cup began in early May. Some 13,000 amateur golfers across Germany participated in the 121 elimination tournaments. Various Audi partners had extended the invitations. Each of the teams consisted of two players. At the end of August, the 240 winners of the preliminaries began to be pitted against each other at Arnold Palmer Platz in Berlin. Their next competition will be for overall victory in the Audi quattro Cup. The world finale will be held at Quivira Golf Course in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, from September 1 to 5.
With its more than 25-year history the Audi quattro Cup has established itself as an international institution in amateur golf. “Every time I’m impressed again to see how many participants this series attracts and the enthusiasm shown by the players,” says Johannes Polgar, Sports Marketing Sales Germany of AUDI AG.
Off the greens and fairways, Audi, as the event’s host, offered a multi-faceted program during the German finale of the Audi quattro Cup. Participants and guests saw golf demonstrations, experienced a selection of the current model range, configured their Audi of choice with a set of virtual reality glasses or competed against each other in a sailing regatta on the Scharmützelsee lake. In addition, the participants in the tournament played to win a new Audi Q2 that was offered as the prize for scoring a hole-in-one on Hole 11. The car, however, did not find a new owner, as none of the golfers achieved the magnificent strike.
