Iglehart Cup
Tournament History
The Iglehart Cup is a 16-20-goal tournament named for Philip L. B. Iglehart, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993. As a boy at the Aiken Preparatory School and later at St. Paul's and Yale, he was steeped in polo skills and lore from a young age. Upon leaving polo at graduation to pursue a business career, Iglehart was already rated 7-goals and after a 20-year hiatus returned to reclaim his old rating, which he held for 13 years. Some of Iglehart’s accomplishments include a U.S. Open Polo Championship®, leadership at Meadowbrook Polo Club, creation of Gulfstream Polo Club, and taking the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame from a dream to reality.
The Philip Iglehart Award was established in 2001 and is given to recognize exceptional lifetime contributions to the sport of polo either on a regional or national level.
Held in 2017 as a stand alone tournament at the International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida, the 2017 Iglehart Cup title went to Equine Liquid Biocell. The 2018 roster features six teams, including the return of 2017 finalist La Indiana.
