The European Golf Team Championships took place at Gleneagles in Scotland from 8−12 August 2018, featuring a 50/50 gender split in the field with male and female professionals competing for equal prize money in a men's team
match play championship, a women's team match play championship, and a mixed team 18-hole foursomes
stroke play championship. The field consisted of 16 teams of two players competing in the men's and women's team events, before combining to form teams of four (two men and two women) in the mixed team championship. The men's and women's team championships featured a round-robin group
fourball format, on 8–10 August, with winners of each of the four groups progressing to the semi-finals where
foursomes will determine the winners, on 12 August. In the group stage, two points were awarded for a win, one point for a halved match, and no points for a loss. Ties between two teams in the standings were determined by their head-to-head result and if teams were still tied for first place then a sudden-death playoff would occur. The mixed team championship comprised teams of four (2 men and 2 women) playing in 18-hole mixed foursomes stroke play on 11 August, with combined scores used for team's total score. Ties for medal positions were determined by a sudden-death playoff involving the low-scoring foursome from each team involved. ==Qualification==
