2002 Palmer Cup

On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by four foursomes matches in the afternoon. Eight singles matches were played on the Friday morning with a further eight more in the afternoon.. In all, 24 matches were played.

Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least ⁠12+1/2⁠ points won the competition.

Eight college golfers from the Great Britain and Ireland and the United States participated in the event.
