NJSGA Prepped for 97th Stoddard Trophy Match at Deepdale GC

MANHASSET, N.Y. - The 97th Stoddard Trophy Match will take place Thursday, June 29 at Deepdale Golf Club, hosted by the Long Island Golf Association. This one-day triangular match play event between the New Jersey State Golf Association, Westchester Golf Association, and Long Island Golf Association features six alternate-shot, two-player team matches in the morning and 12 singles contests in the afternoon. The 12-player NJSGA team, champions of the John Hutchinson Stoddard Trophy at Hackensack Golf Club most recently in 2021, look to regain the trophy. 

Pairings & Scoring 

The event began in 1922 at Morris County Golf Club and was won by the Westchester Golf Association. The NJSGA won for the first time the following year at Lido Country Club, the first of its series-leading 43 victories. Both the WGA and LIGA have won the trophy 24 times, and the trophy has been shared by way of a tie four times. 

In 2022, the NJSGA fell to the LIGA, but defeated the WGA, 18-14.  

The NJSGA looks to win the competition for the fifth time in seven years after victories in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2021. The Stoddard Trophy matches were not played in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
