College golf is back, and with the new spring season comes a new set of rankings.
On Thursday the first spring Arnold Palmer Cup rankings were released for the 2020 event set to be held July 3-5 at Lahinch Golf Club. At the end of the spring, the top six United States and International male and female golfers will comprise half of the 24-player field selected to compete.
Six committee selections – three men and three women – for both the United States and International teams will be announced March 4 during the PGA Tour’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
The Arnold Palmer Cup rankings use Golfstat’s NCAA Player Ranking as a base, with strength of schedule factored in. Bonus points are awarded for wins and high finishes. Poor finishes incur a penalty. The next Arnold Palmer Cup Ranking will be announced March 5.
