NORMAN, Okla. – The Alotian Club, one of America’s premier golf clubs, will host the 23rd playing of the Arnold Palmer Cup in 2019. The annual Ryder Cup-style competition will be played June 7-9 and will be the first to be played in the United States expanded to include men’s and women’s USA collegiate golfers against their counterparts from around the world.
“Many of the alumni of the Arnold Palmer Cup have become prominent professional golfers and have earned numerous victories around the world, including several of golf’s major championships.” said Amy Saunders, daughter of Arnold Palmer. “Arnold Palmer’s vision for growing golf globally and perpetuating golf’s positive character building attributes through the next generation of youth, is something that was very important to my father. Arnie’s Army Charitable Foundation is honored to continue Arnold Palmer’s legacy of international team golf competition through this tournament. We’re grateful to The Alotian Club for hosting our event in 2019.”
Opened in 2004, The Alotian Club is ranked No. 27 on Golf Digest’s biennial ranking of “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses.” The course was built by Little Rock businessman Warren Stephens and was identified by Golf Digest as the best new private course in the country in 2005.
