FSU sports information:
Florida State Men’s Golf sophomore Luke Clanton has been selected to represent Team USA in the 2024 Arnold Palmer Cup held at Lahinch Golf Club in Lahinch, Ireland, from July 5-7. The announcement was made on Tuesday afternoon on the GOLF Channel.
Clanton is one of 10 USA men’s selections by the committee, currently ranking No. 2 overall in collegiate golf according to the latest Clippd ratings used by the NCAA. The Hialeah, Fla., native and American Heritage High School performer is shooting 69.30 in the 2023-24 academic year, an average that would break the single-season low at FSU.
The Arnold Palmer Cup was co-founded by Arnold Palmer and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and began at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Orlando, Fla., in 1997. The event is a Ryder Cup-style tournament featuring the top men’s and women’s university/college golfers matching the United States against a team of International players.
The Palmer Cup has been played at some of the world’s greatest courses, including The Old Course at St. Andrews, The Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Baltusrol, The Honors Course, and Cherry Hills. Beginning with the 2018 matches at Evian Resort Golf Club, the Palmer Cup is the only major tournament that features men and women playing side-by-side as partners.
Clanton joins Mirabel Ting of Florida State Women’s Golf among the Seminole representatives in the Arnold Palmer Cup, as she will be playing for the International Team.
The famous Irish links at Lahinch Golf Club were supposed to host the Palmer Cup in 2020, but had its location postponed due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Clanton’s selection gives Florida State Men’s Golf its eighth participant in the Arnold Palmer Cup since 2007, joining teammates Frederik Kjettrup (2022, 2023) and Cole Anderson (2023), John Pak (2020), Jonas Blixt (2007, 2008), Rowan Caron (2015), Harry Ellis (2017) and Vincent Norrman (2020).
