The 2009 Palmer Cup was held on June 4–5, 2009 at Cherry Hills Country Club, Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. Europe won 13 to 11.
Format
On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon. Four foursomes matches were played on the Friday morning with a further eight singles 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 12½ points won the competition.
