The Desert Nomads Golf Club is proud to announce the details of Slyder Cup XXV. The Slyder Cup Invitational, a team event in the Ryder Cup format, will be going back to beautiful Central Wisconsin for our 25th Anniversary with teams Captained by two of our founding players. Joe Dunphy, the source and inspiration of the Slyder Cup, was present just off the green when Justin Leonard's historic putt went in at the Country Club in Boston Mass 1999. After Joe's protege, Mark Slovensky, filled in as an alternate in Palm Springs Desert Hunt, Joe and Mark founded the Slyder Cup. Joe was the inaugural winning Captain of Slyder Cup One while long time friend Alfredo Castellanos Captained the first big comeback (7 pts on Sunday) in Slyder Cup III. 2025 will mark the first time in our history that two winning Captains have gotten a chance to become the first two-time winning Captain. For those that experienced our 20th anniversary, they know this special location features unbelievable sunsets on the lake, pontoon boats, waverunners, and fishing when birdies are not being made.

Who will be the first two-time winning Captain in Slyder Cup history?
