The Walker Cup is here.
It’s one of the greatest men’s amateur golf competitions in the world, and it’s set for the Home of Golf. The 2023 Walker Cup begins Saturday at the Old Course at St. Andrews, as the best amateurs from the United States will take on those from Great Britain and Ireland. The Old Course has hosted eight previous Walker Cups, more than any other venue, most recently in 1975, when the USA defeated GB&I, 15½-8½.
The USA leads the all-time series over GB&I, 38-9-1.
The United States’ 10-man roster is highlighted by World No. 1 Gordon Sargent and U.S. Amateur winner Nick Dunlap.
Here’s a look at some of the best photos from the 2023 Walker Cup.
