Only the coaches' picks remain for the U.S. and International Palmer Cup squads, which will face off at the Alotian Club in June

The majority of the U.S. and International Palmer Cup teams have been finalized, and fittingly, they were announced on the eve of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla. The only thing that remains is a coaches' pick for each of the four squads, and that will come May 3.

The event will be played at the Alotian Club in Roland, Ark., on June 7-9. It’s a past Western Amateur venue (2013) located roughly 180 miles southeast of Fayetteville, Ark., where the men’s and women’s NCAA Championships will be played in May.
