A look at future Walker Cup and Curtis Cup sites, dates

The Walker Cup and Curtis Cup often give glimpses into the future of golf.

The competitions, Walker Cup for men and Curtis Cup for women, are biennial competitions organized by the United States Golf Association and R&A between the best golfers from the US on one team and Great Britain and Ireland on the other team.

The first unofficial Walker Cup was hosted in 1921 at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, which was followed by official annual contests from 1922 through 1924. From 1925 they became biennial.

The Curtis Cup began in 1932 at the Wentworth Club in England.

On March 21, 2022, the R&A and USGA announced the Walker Cup would move to even years in 2026 to avoid future conflicts with the World Amateur Team Championships, which will be played in odd years beginning in 2023.

As for all-time records, in the Walker Cup, the United States leads 38-9-1. And in the Curtis Cup, the Americans lead 31-8-3.
