U.S. looking to reclaim Arnold Palmer Cup in international competition at Laurel Valley Golf Club

CBS News Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The 27th Arnold Palmer Cup is up for grabs this week as one of golf's signature amateur events has arrived at Laurel Valley Golf Club.

The annual Arnold Palmer Cup competition is here in Western Pennsylvania in Westmoreland County just outside of Pittsburgh.

The club, which was established in 1959 has hosted several prominent tournaments including the 1965 PGA Championship and the 1975 Ryder Cup, captained by none other than Arnold Palmer himself.

The annual event, which was reformatted in 2016, pits the best men's and women's college golfers from the United States against those from around the rest of the world in a Ryder Cup-style format.

The International team has won 3 of the past 4 matchups and the U.S. will be looking to reclaim the title on U.S. soil.

Each team will consist of 12 men and 12 women with a variety of individual and team matches.

From mixed fourball matches, foursomes, mixed foursomes, and singles, it's going to be an action-packed three days of top-tier golf at Laurel Valley.

Last year, Franklin Regional graduate and Notre Dame standout Palmer Jackson, named after Arnold Palmer, was a member of the 2022 team which fell short to the International team.
