The Barako Cup 2026 is set to bring a unique fusion of sport, heritage, and community spirit as it tees off on January 12-15, 2026 as part of the Lipa City Fiesta celebration.
More than just a golf tournament, the event pays tribute to Batangueño resilience while spotlighting the local coffee industry that has long defined the region’s identity.
Billed as the country’s most caffeine-powered golf event, the Barako Cup celebrates the bold character of Batangas—strong coffee, strong community, and strong competition. Organizers say the tournament aims to bring together golfers of different backgrounds while promoting the distinct culture that makes Lipa a standout sporting and tourism destination.
The event will feature a four-man team competition using the Stableford scoring system. Teams will be grouped into four divisions based on their Team Index Average, a format designed to ensure balanced and competitive play. The Team Index will be computed by dropping the highest individual handicap index and averaging the remaining three, the lowest among each team’s players.
