The 1994 World Cup of Golf took place November 10–13 at the Hyatt Dorado Beach Resort in Puerto Rico. It was the 40th World Cup. The tournament was a 72-hole stroke play team event with each team consisting of two players from a country. The combined score of each team determined the team results. Individuals also competed for the International Trophy. The winners share of the prize money was $300,000 going to the winning pair and $100,000 to the top individual.
