U.S., International teams finalized for Arnold Palmer Cup at Laurel Valley Golf Club

The 2023 Arnold Palmer Cup teams were announced Tuesday on Golf Channel.

Both the U.S. and International teams are made up 12 men and 12 women, including six automatic selections from rankings, five committee selections and one coach’s pick, per gender. The result is two 24-player squads that will face off from June 8-10 in a Ryder Cup-style competition at Laurel Valley Golf Club in Ligonier, Pennsylvania.

The U.S. team is led by Wake Forest graduate student Emilia Migliaccio, who will play in her fifth Palmer Cup and first since 2021. Joining her in leading the U.S. women’s side are fellow Wake Forest teammate Rachel Kuehn and USC’s Amari Avery. The men’s side is headlined by Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent, Stanford’s Michael Thorbjornsen and North Carolina’s Austin Greaser.

The defending champion International team features Arkansas’ Mateo Fernandez de Oliveira, who is making his second-straight Palmer Cup appearance after becoming the first player from Argentina ever selected for the event in 2022 and earning the only 4-0 record for Team International. The International women are headlined by Sweden’s Andrea Lignell.
