Format
editThe contest was played over three days. On Friday, there were 12 mixed four-ball matches. On Saturday there were 24 foursomes matches, 12 in the morning, six all-women matches and six all-men matches, and 12 mixed matches in the afternoon. 24 singles matches were played on Sunday. In all, 60 matches were played.
Each of the 60 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 30½ points won the competition.
Teams
editThe teams were announced on 19 April 2022. Six women and six men from each team were selected from the final Arnold Palmer Cup Rankings. Natasha Andrea Oon and Eugenio Chacarra were selected for the international team but turned professional before the event.[2]
