History
The McGregor Trophy was founded in 1982 at the Radcliffe on Trent Golf Club by Roy Case, later to become president of the English Golf Union. The trophy was donated by Matt and Kathy McGregor. The competition was later adopted by the English Golf Union as the English Boys Under 16 Open Amateur Stroke-Play Championship. It is now played at various venues around England, and will return to Radcliffe on Trent Golf Club in 2014. It is open to golfers of all nationalities in possession of a playing handicap not exceeding 5.4 under the CONGU Unified Handicapping System or a comparable scheme operated by a recognised overseas Golf Union, Federation or Association. It consists of 72 holes of stroke play over three days, 18 holes being played on each of the first two days. After 36 holes the leading 40 competitors and all those tying for 40th place play a further 36 holes on the third day.

Subsequent careers
A number of golfers who have won the McGregor Trophy have progressed to successful professional careers, including the 2013 U.S. Open (golf) Champion Justin Rose, Edourdo Molinari (Ryder Cup 2010), Graeme Storm (French Open, 2007) and Oliver Fisher (Czech Open, 2011).
