History

Entry was restricted to PGA members of the Scottish section and other professionals attached to a Scottish club. Prize money was £25 with £20 for the winner and £5 for the runner-up. The cup became the permanent property of any player winning it three times or two years in succession.[1] Robert Thomson won in 1911 and 1912 and so won the cup outright. The event was played either the day after or the day before the Scottish qualifying for the News of the World Match Play.
