The 2025 Walker Cup marks the re-emergence of Cypress Point on the international golf scene. Long regarded as one of the greatest golf courses in the world, Cypress Point was part of the course rotation at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am from 1947-90. It previously hosted the 1981 Walker Cup.
The Walker Cup will switch from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years following the 2025 tournament. So the next Walker Cup will be in 2026.

Team Composition and Format
Team GB&I and Team USA each have 10 golfers selected by committees from the R&A and USGA, respectively. The Walker Cup is played over two days, with 26 matches total, meaning 26 points are at stake. Eighteen of those matches are singles and eight are foursomes (fourball is not played in the Walker Cup).On Day 1, the teams play four foursomes (alternate shot) matches in the morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon. On Day 2, they again start with four morning foursomes, but play 10 singles matches in afternoon (so that all 10 golfers per side play in the final session).
It takes 13.5 points to win the Walker Cup, but the defending champion needs only 13 points to retain it (a tie goes to the defending champ, in other words).
