Meanwhile, the remaining ten teams face off in the quarterfinals, battling for a spot in the final round. In both the quarterfinals and semifinals, teams are paired up, and three intense matches unfold. Two singles matches and one foursomes match will decide each pairing’s fate. Every match is worth one precious point, and the team that secures two matches advances to the next challenge.

The competition then narrows, with only the top four teams earning a spot in Sunday’s finale, where the format shifts to stroke play. Each player’s score counts toward their team’s overall tally. And the winner from this gruesome process will be crowned the season’s team champion. So, who do you think will win?
