PGA Professional Alan Schulte, Hawthorns Club, will join nine other members of a United States Team that will face Great Britain & Ireland, Sept. 21-23, in the 22nd PGA Cup at The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Ga.

Since the PGA Cup originated in 1973 as an outgrowth of the PGA Professional National Championship, the United States has never been defeated on home soil, and owns a 14-4-3 overall record.

Joining Schulte on the U.S. Team are: PGA Professional National Champion Chip Sullivan of Troutville, Va., Mike Small of Champaign, Ill., Ron Philo Jr., representing Hudson National Golf Club of Croton on Hudson, N.Y., and Sugarbush Resort of Warren, Vt.; Ryan Benzel, Bothell, Wash., Butch Sheehan of Rancho Mirage, Calif., Tim Thelen of College Station, Texas, Lee Rinker of Jupiter, Fla., Don Yrene of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Chris Starkjohann of Cardiff by the Sea, Calif.,

“The PGA Cup is a one-of-a-kind event for a PGA Professional, and we are fortunate to be playing this event at a tremendous site that will test players on both teams,” said PGA of America Honorary President Roger Warren, who will captain the U.S. Team. “We face a talented GB&I Team in September, and we will focus all our efforts in bringing the Llandudno Trophy back to America.”
