Animation gives fans an idea of what to expect on the first tee at the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow

A crowd of 2,500 fans will be packed around the first tee at Quail Hollow.

The PGA Tour season has come and gone and now golf fans have their eyes fixed on Quail Hollow Club for next month’s 2022 Presidents Cup.

If you can’t make it to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the biennial matches that pit the best players in the United States against a team of the best players from around the world (Europe and LIV Golf excluded), the folks behind the Presidents Cup have released a little teaser that gives golf fans an idea of what to expect at what should make for a wild first tee atmosphere.

While the animated graphic shows a good mix of American and International supporters, the first tee setup will feature 2,500 fans that will almost assuredly be dominated by the Red, White and Blue.

Six players automatically qualified for Team USA as well as eight for the Internationals, but International captain Trevor Immelman will need to replace Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann, who have since joined LIV Golf.

Team International defeats Team USA to win 2022 Arnold Palmer Cup

The United States now leads the Palmer Cup series 13-12-1.

Team International defeated Team USA to claim the 2022 Palmer Cup at Golf Club de Geneve in Switzerland on Sunday.

The International squad notched 13 singles wins during the final day en route to a 33 to 27 victory. The United States now leads the Palmer Cup series 13-12-1.

The Arnold Palmer Cup is a Ryder Cup-style event played annually that features teams of 24 players, consisting of 12 of the top men’s and 12 of the top women’s college golfers.

Julia Lopez Ramirez, the 2022 SEC Freshman of the Year after a stellar campaign at Mississippi State, earned the first singles win, defeating Brooke Seay 4 and 3.

“I’m so happy for this and the team,” she said.

Mateo Fernández de Oliveira of the International team (University of Arkansas ) and Amari Avery of Team USA (USC) each won every match they played this week.

Winners of exemptions into the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Amundi Evian Championship were Ludvig Aberg (Texas Tech), Aline Krauter (Stanford) and Benedetta Moresco (Alabama), as voted on by their peers at the event.
