ARNOLD PALMER CUP

Founded by the great man himself in 1997 with the Golf Coaches Association of America, this Ryder Cup style event sees the best men and women college players in the U.S. facing off against their counterparts from the rest of the world. Starting in 2018, the Palmer Cup was the first major U.S. event to feature men and women playing side-by-side, in line with Palmer’s original vision for the tournament, which is supported by the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation, Rolex, and Nike, among others. Beyond simply showcasing great golf, the tournament also celebrates those who emulate the character and values that Palmer championed throughout his life, and is a heartening demonstration of sportsmanship and international camaraderie. Played this year at Rich Harvest Farms near Chicago, the 2022 event is scheduled to take place at Golf Club de Genève in Switzerland, in line with the alternating schedule of domestic/ international venues, which has included some of the world’s most beautiful courses.
