Palmer Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Palmer Cup is an annual eight man team golf competition between American college golfers and European college/university golfers. It is named after Arnold Palmer. The teams are selected on the basis of nationality, not according to the location of the players' universities, and 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.
Europe won the 2006 tournament and now trail by five wins to four, with one tied match.
