Because the future of golf lies with these young players already on the verge of success. And because we have always proclaimed our convictions and ambitions through The Evian Championship Juniors Cup, The Evian Championship qualifiers and now the Arnold Palmer Cup.”

The course at the Evian Resort Golf Club was totally redesigned in 2013 by a team of international architects.
