The 46th Walker Cup Match will be played on September 9 and 10, 2017 at the Los Angeles Country Club in Los Angeles, California. It will be the second Walker Cup Match played in California, the previous occasion being in 1981 at Cypress Point Club. Great Britain and Ireland are the holders of the cup.
On Saturday, there will be four matches of foursomes in the morning and eight singles matches in the afternoon. On Sunday, there will again be four matches of foursomes in the morning, followed by ten singles matches (involving every player) in the afternoon. In all, 26 matches will be played.
Each of the 26 matches is worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match is all square after the 18th hole extra holes are not played. Rather, each side earns ½ a point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 13½ points wins the competition. In the event of a tie, the previous winner retains the Cup.
