NORMAN, Okla. – The updated Palmer Cup
Ranking for April 2 was released today. This is
the
next-to-last ranking before both the United
States and European Palmer Cup teams are
announced on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive on
April 17. The top six golfers in the final
ranking from both the United States and
Europe shall be among the 10 individuals
selected
to compete in the Palmer Cup at Walton Heath
Golf Club June 26-28.
Using Golfstat’s NCAA Player Ranking as a
base, the Palmer Cup Ranking awards bonus
points for wins and high finishes and a
negative bonus for poor finishes. The ranking
also
contains a strength of schedule component.
For the United States, the remaining four
players will be selected using three committee
picks and one coaches pick. The selections by
the committee may take into account a
number of factors including the current college
season, results in amateur events since the
last Palmer Cup, match play record and
performance in previous international team
events.
One of the US 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
