Empire Polo Club
About the tournament
The Champions Cup, an 8-goal tournament that has been hosted at Empire Polo Club since 2011, is back again for 2017 with a great team line up. This tournament format is especially unique as there is major prize money on the line. Teams pay an entry fee which the club matches. Unlike other money games, the only deciding factor is the final score. For 2017, a pot of $40,000 is available to be won. The victors garner seventy-five percent of the total prize money available while the runner-up collects the remaining twenty-five percent. A unique feature considering the majority of prize money tournaments are geared towards a mid- to high-goal level of polo. 2016 defending champions Lockton are slated to appear in the final again, hoping to take home the prize money and Champions Cup title.
