History of the Championship
The Hudson Cup Matches were started by the Pacific Northwest PGA in honor of Robert Hudson’s contributions to golf. He is best remembered for bringing the Ryder Cup back to life after a 12-year lapse due to World War II. He also financed four Portland Opens in 1944, ’45, ’47 and ’48 as well as the 1946 PGA Championship and the 1955 Western Open. He will be remembered always for making it possible for the British PGA to send a Ryder Cup team to Portland for the 1947 rebirth of the great competition.
The inaugural Hudson Cup Matches were held in 1949 at Portland Golf Club. The professional team of Richards-Litton came out on top in this match, besting Shriver-Bates 6 and 5 in the 36-hole foursome match.
The Professionals have won 59 of the 75 matches against the amateurs, losing only 9 and tying 7 matches. While the Professionals have been dominating the Hudson Cup Matches, the Senior professionals have also been ahead in the Senior Hudson Cup Matches. The Senior Professionals have won 22 of 32 matches, tying once.
Meadow Springs Country Club
Meadow Springs Country Club is home to one of the premier golf courses in Washington State. Designed by Robert Muir Graves and Associates, Meadow Springs 18-hole championship golf course is an exciting and challenging course. Its distinct qualities are formed from a natural creek that meanders through the golf course and slopes of the Rattlesnake Mountains, creating elevation changes and dynamic contours throughout. As a result, players can enjoy the challenge of playing from a variety of lies and angles that demand creative golf shots. Five lakes highlight the course design, which offers generous landing areas and strategically placed trees that are uncommonly found in Eastern Washington golf courses. True to the original design, the course will challenge the more skilled players to utilize every club in the bag.
