Few trophies in sport are as instantly recognisable as the Claret Jug trophy. Synonymous with golfing excellence, the Claret Jug has become the ultimate symbol of success and is the perfect award for golf clubs, corporate golf days, golf societies and prestigious competitions throughout the UK.
Inspired by the famous trophy presented to the Champion Golfer of the Year at The Open Championship, Claret Jug trophies bring the tradition and prestige of professional golf to your own competition. Whether you are organising a company golf day, annual club championship or charity golf event, a Claret Jug trophy creates a memorable prize presentation that players will remember for years.
Golf Trophy UK offers one of the largest collections of Claret Jug trophies available in the UK, with sizes ranging from compact presentation trophies to impressive championship trophies standing over 50cm tall. Every trophy can be professionally engraved, making it a lasting reminder of a golfer's greatest achievement.
The Claret Jug is one of the most famous trophies in world sport. Officially known as the Golf Champion Trophy, it has been presented to winners of The Open Championship since the early 1870s after replacing the original Challenge Belt. Today it remains the most prestigious trophy in golf and is recognised by golfers across the world.
Owning a Claret Jug-style trophy allows golf clubs and event organisers to recreate some of that championship atmosphere. While only one golfer each year lifts the original trophy, golfers at club, society and corporate level can enjoy receiving beautifully crafted Claret Jug-inspired awards at their own events.
A Claret Jug trophy represents more than simply winning a golf competition.
It symbolises:
Achievement
Tradition
Excellence
Championship success
Sporting history
