Arnold Palmer Cup: Meet the United States, International teams

Meet the United States and International teams set to compete at the 2020 Arnold Palmer Cup at Bay Hill in Orlando.

The teams have been formed for the 2020 Arnold Palmer Cup. Now it’s time to play.

On Tuesday, USC senior Alyaa Abdulghany was announced as the latest player to compete in the annual Ryder Cup-style competition featuring the world’s best men’s and women’s collegiate golfers. Abdulghany, the first Malaysian-born player to compete in the Arnold Palmer Cup, will join fellow Trojan Gabriela Ruffels on the International Team against a team of players from the United States Dec. 21-23 at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando.

“I’m very excited,” said Abdulghany of being announced as a member of the International team. “Since I got the news a little more then a week ago, all I’ve thought about is the Arnold Palmer Cup. It’s a blessing and honor to play, especially during the pandemic. I have the chance to play on a team and compete in a fun and pressure-packed environment. I can’t wait for the tournament to start.”

The United States leads the series 12-10-1.

Arnold Palmer Cup postponed to December, relocated to U.S. venue due to coronavirus

The 2020 Arnold Palmer Cup has been postponed until December 21-23 and will be played at Bay Hill Lodge & Club in Orlando.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Arnold Palmer Cup originally scheduled for July 3-5 at Lahinch Golf Club in Ireland, will be postponed and rescheduled for December 21-23, 2020.

The competition also has shifted and will take place at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, which hosted the inaugural playing of the Arnold Palmer Cup in 1997. Lahinch Golf Club will now host in 2024.

“We look forward to welcoming the top men and women collegiate golfers to Bay Hill,” said Amy Palmer Saunders. “My father would have wanted to find a way to honor their excellence in these unprecedented times and hosting the rescheduled Arnold Palmer Cup at Bay Hill will be a fitting way to do so. While we are disappointed not to visit Lahinch this summer, we are thrilled that Lahinch has agreed to host in 2024.”

The annual Ryder Cup-style competition features 12 male and female collegiate players from the United States against their International counterparts. Renowned for having been the winter home of Arnold Palmer, Bay Hill has been home to the PGA Tour’s Arnold Palmer Invitational since 1979. Arnold Palmer Cup alumni Francesco Molinari (2019) and Matt Every (2014-15) have claimed victory at Mr. Palmer’s tournament.

Padraig McInerney, tournament director at Lahinch Golf Club stated that “the postponement of this year’s Arnold Palmer Cup is perfectly understandable amidst this current pandemic. While it is a great disappointment for Lahinch Golf Club, its members and the entire local community we remain fully committed to the event and the wonderful concept of honoring young, talented golfers and, in doing so, providing them with the opportunity to experience international competition over some of the world’s great courses. We offer our congratulations to those honored with selection in 2020 and look forward to continuing our relationship with the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation, college golf and to hosting the 2024 Arnold Palmer Cup.”

The final selection of team members was announced on March 27, but even then the growing coronavirus threat presented great concern for the viability of the matches. The guidance of leading public health authorities will dictate any further changes to the schedule.

Check out who’s in the running to represent the United States and International teams at the 2020 Arnold Palmer Cup.

College golf is back, and with the new spring season comes a new set of rankings.

On Thursday the first spring Arnold Palmer Cup rankings were released for the 2020 event set to be held July 3-5 at Lahinch Golf Club. At the end of the spring, the top six United States and International male and female golfers will comprise half of the 24-player field selected to compete.

Six committee selections – three men and three women – for both the United States and International teams will be announced March 4 during the PGA Tour’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.

The Arnold Palmer Cup rankings use Golfstat’s NCAA Player Ranking as a base, with strength of schedule factored in. Bonus points are awarded for wins and high finishes. Poor finishes incur a penalty. The next Arnold Palmer Cup Ranking will be announced March 5.
