The '''PGA Cup''' is a men's [[golf]] competition for [[Professional golfer|club professionals]] played between a [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]] and [[Ireland]] team and a [[United States]] team. The winning team is presented with the Llandudno Trophy. The competition is run by the [[Professional Golfers' Association (Great Britain and Ireland)|British PGA]] and the [[PGA of America]].  It was first played in 1973 and was an annual event until 1984, after which it became biennial.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pga.info/tournaments/national/pga-cup.aspx |title=PGA Cup |access-date=31 October 2014 |publisher=[[Professional Golfers' Association (Great Britain and Ireland)]]}}</ref>
==History==
The first two contests, at [[Pinehurst Resort|Pinehurst]], [[North Carolina]], in 1973 and 1974, were contested for the Diamondhead Cup. Diamondhead Corp. was the owner of Pinehurst and sponsored the event. From 1975, the event was organised by the two PGAs and became known as the PGA Cup.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pe.com/articles/collett-634260-golf-years.html |title=Local man is golf guru |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170922002643/http://www.pe.com/2011/12/13/menifee-local-man-is-golf-guru |archive-date=September 22, 2017}}</ref>
In 1990 the event was opened up to the golfers from continental Europe<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Times |date=20 February 1990 |page=42 |title=Golf opening}}</ref> but from 1996 the British PGA team was again restricted to players from Great Britain and Ireland.
The 2017 PGA Cup was held on the Longcross course at [[Foxhills Golf Club]], [[Ottershaw]], [[Surrey]], from 15 to 17 September and was won by Great Britain and Ireland by a score of 16 to 10, their second successive victory.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.bunkered.co.uk/golf-news/gb-i-thump-usa-in-singles-to-win-pga-cup |title=GB&I thump USA in singles to win PGA Cup |magazine=bunkered |date=18 September 2017 |first=Martin |last=Inglis}}</ref>
The 2019 PGA Cup was held on the Fazio Foothills course at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa, [[Austin, Texas]], from 27 to 29 September and was won by the United States by a score of 14 to 12, their first outright victory since 2011.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Kelly |first1=Todd |title=U.S. storms back to beat Great Britain & Ireland in PGA Cup |url=https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2019/09/29/us-beats-great-britain-ireland-pga-cup/ |website=Golfweek USA Today |access-date=6 May 2020 |date=29 September 2019}}</ref>
The 2022 event, the 30th contest, was held at the [[Foxhills Golf Club]] in [[Surrey]], [[England]], the second time that the course had been chosen to host the event.<ref>{{cite web |title=Foxhills earns its PGA Cup call-up again for 2021 |url=https://www.golf365.com/news/foxhills-earns-its-pga-cup-call-up-again-for-2021/ |website=Golf365 |access-date=6 May 2020 |date=29 July 2019}}</ref> The United States won by five points, to retain the trophy they won in 2019.<ref>{{cite web |title=US stave off GB&I fightback to retain PGA Cup |url=https://www.pga.info/news/us-stave-off-gbi-fightback-to-retain-pga-cup/ |website=The PGA |date=18 September 2022}}</ref>
==Trophy==
The trophy was first used for the [[Llandudno International Golf Trophy]] contested by the leading professionals from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The first tournament was held in September 1938 and Llandudno council presented a silver trophy to the P.G.A. for the winning team. [[Percy Alliss]], the captain of the winning English team, took possession of the trophy. It was intended that the tournament would be the first of a series of matches but the Second World War interrupted these plans and the contests were not restarted after the war. During Alliss's later years, the trophy was returned to the P.G.A. and was then used as the trophy for the PGA Cup.<ref name=pfry>{{cite web |url=//www.golfcollectors.co.uk/u/cms/TTG_58_2001September.pdf#page=10 |title=Llandudno International Golf Trophy |author=Peter Fry |periodical=Through the Green |access-date=1 November 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pga.info/tournaments/national/pga-cup/about-the-trophy.aspx |title=Llandudno International Trophy |access-date=3 November 2014 |publisher=[[Professional Golfers' Association (Great Britain and Ireland)]]}}</ref>
==Format==
The event is contested by teams of ten players over three days, with four [[Foursome (golf)|foursomes]] and four [[four-ball golf|fourball]] matches on each of the first two days, and ten singles matches on the final day. All matches are over 18 holes.
The format of the PGA Cup has changed over the years. In 1973 and 1974 it was a two-day competition but in 1975 the event was expanded to three days. In the initial format only 8 of the 9 players contested the singles but from 1977 the whole team play in this session. From 1980 both foursomes and fourballs have been played on the first two days. The team size was increased from 9 to 10 in 1988 and the format has been unchanged since then, the only variation being the order of the foursomes and fourballs on the first two days.

In 1988 the teams were increased to 10. The selection process was also revised. Eight members of the team gained entry via the [[PGA Club Professionals' Championship]] with the captain [[David Huish]] having two "wildcard" selections.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4zNAAAAAIBAJ&pg=6838%2C2259951 |title=A Huish victory can cap it all |first=Elspeth |last=Burnside |newspaper=The Glasgow Herald |date=8 June 1988 |page=25}}</ref> Huish chose the players who had finished 9th and 10th, [[Nick Job]] and [[John Chillas]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=5zNAAAAAIBAJ&pg=6734%2C3504507 |title=Weir proves class apart |first=Elspeth |last=Burnside |newspaper=The Glasgow Herald |date=13 June 1988 |page=12}}</ref> In 1990 the event was opened to the golfers from continental Europe. Only seven player qualified from the club professionals' championship, with the winner of European teaching professionals championship at Broekpolder in the Netherlands, gaining a place. There was a three-way tie for two places in the club professionals' championship but the captain Richard Bradbeer announced that he would use one of his wildcard picks for the losing player. so all three were selected. His other pick was [[Brian Barnes (golfer)|Brian Barnes]] who had not played but had won it the previous year. Dutch-based [[John Woof]] gained the final place by winner the Broekpolder event.
