The World Singles Champion of Champions is an event inaugurated in 2003 that is contested annually between bowlers who have won their respective national singles title.
The event was first held in 2003 at the Moama Bowling Club in Moama, Australia. Traditionally the competition favours the Southern Hemisphere players because the Northern Hemisphere players have to travel to the event and compete on faster greens. Lee Schraner of Australia and Jo Edwards of New Zealand are the most successful bowlers having won two gold medals.
