Arnold Palmer Cup

The Arnold Palmer Cup is an annual team golf competition between American college golfers and European college/university golfers. Until 2016, it was known as the Palmer Cup. The teams are selected on the basis of nationality, not according to the location of the players' universities. Many of the European players attend American universities as sports scholarships have never been a feature of the university system in Europe. From 1997 to 2002 the United States played Great Britain & Ireland rather than the whole of Europe. Originally contested between eight-man teams, the rosters expanded to ten per side in 2013.
