Eisenhower Trophy, golf trophy awarded to the winner of a biennial international amateur competition open to teams of three or four players from all nations. The competition was first held, under sponsorship of the World Amateur Golf Council, in 1958, and the trophy was named for President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a golf enthusiast. The contest consists of 72 holes of stroke play (the team with the lowest number of strokes wins). The three low scores of each national team for each 18-hole round are totaled to give the team score for that round.
