NORMAN, OK (March 9, 2017) -- The third Arnold
Palmer Cup Rankings have been released for the
2017 matches held June 9-11 at Atlanta Athletic
Club. The 10-person teams for both Europe and the
United States will be announced March 16 at 10
a.m. ET during the first round of the Arnold Palmer
Invitational presented by MasterCard.
The Arnold Palmer Cup Ranking automatically
qualifies the top six players for both sides and uses
Golfstat’s NCAA Player Ranking as a base. The
ranking awards bonus points for wins and high
finishes, penalty for poor finishes, and contains a
strength of schedule component.
The remaining four players for the United States
will be selected using three committee picks and one
coaches pick. One of the U.S. committee picks must
be a non-Division I golfer. The final four spots on
Team Europe shall consist of the champion of The
R&A Foundation Scholars Tournament, held April 3-
4, two committee picks and one coaches pick.
