The 1999 Palmer Cup was held on June 12–13, 1999 on the Honors Course, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The United States won 17½ to 6½.[1]
Format
On Saturday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by four foursomes matches in the afternoon. Eight singles matches were played on the Sunday morning with a further eight more in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.
