Team Ireland and Team USA Tee Up for International King’s Cup

Glen Ellyn, IL, – Head of European International King’s Cup Operations, Lynn McCool, announced today that Team Ireland has been selected at Northern Ireland’s Malone Golf Club at the National Qualifier held April 4.

Team Ireland will compete against Team USA at the 4th annual International King’s Cup™ to be held at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge, May 22-24.

Team USA was selected in September at the United States Golf Challenge National Qualifier at Disney World Golf.

The International Kings Cup is a leading amateur event played in honour of golf’s greatest ambassador, Mr Arnold Palmer, whose Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship and Commitment to Excellence represent the ideals for which the game of golf is known.

“With the event played in honour of Mr Palmer, whom I knew personally, I’m so excited that Team Ireland will get to experience Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge”, said McCool, “It will be a special event played at a special place. For the first time the event will have TV coverage and broadcast to 6 million homes in the USA and 11 million homes in the UK covered by award winning TV Host Randy Tantlinger. The event is growing and soon there will be the addition of more participating countries”

Leading amateur golfers from across the USA and Ireland will converge on Bay Hill’s epic fairways from May 22nd -24th 2019 for a competition which will see the best amateur pairs teams from both sides of the Atlantic battle it out for one of the most prestigious trophies in amateur golf.

The event is structured like the Ryder Cup and was created in 2016 when the United States Golf Challenge, a 2-person better-ball tournament, brought their 16-man amateur team across to Northern Ireland to compete against Ireland in the first ever International Kings Cup.
