1974 Eisenhower Trophy


The 1974 Eisenhower Trophy took place 30 October to 2 November at the Casa de Campo in La Romana, Dominican Republic. It was the ninth World Amateur Team Championship for the Eisenhower Trophy. The tournament was a 72-hole stroke play team event with 35 four-man teams. The best three scores for each round counted towards the team total.
The United States won the Eisenhower Trophy for the fourth successive time, finishing 10 strokes ahead of the silver medalists, Japan. Brazil took the bronze medal while South Africa finished fourth. Jaime Gonzalez from Brazil and American Jerry Pate had the lowest individual scores, six-over-par 294.
The event was originally planned to be played in Malaysia but was moved because of the inability of all member countries to compete there.
