Squash Haven is honored to partner with the 2026 Briggs Cup. Named after squash legend and US Squash Hall of Famer Pete Briggs, this biennial event brings the best of squash doubles to The Apawamis Club for the 13th iteration of this top longstanding Premier event on the SDA tour. Held for the past 25 years, the event features men's and women's professional draws as well as opportunities for amateurs to pair up with top pros in a series of Pro-Ams.
Squash Haven is the charity beneficiary of this year's event, which will be held in honor of Briggs as well as his long time friend and rival Dave Talbott. Talbott was a co-founder of Squash Haven and coached Yale to multiple national championships over his 34 year tenure as Head Men's and Women's Squash Coach.
Participants in the Pro-Ams will pair up with a pro to compete in a single elimination draw. Pro-am entries begin at the $1500 level and include tournament registration, Briggs Cup apparel, and access to all tournament events, including the finals on Monday December 14th. Donations beyond the $1500 level are welcome and will support the professional purse as well as the charitable contribution.
