The bi-annual Concession Cup Matches are back and will take place from November 6-9 at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Savannah, Ga. It is the fifth playing of this Ryder Cup-style event between the top Mid-Am and Senior amateur players in the USA and Europe.

This year is the inaugural edition of a women’s side to the matches. Conducted by the Amateur Golf Alliance, the matches promote the amateur game worldwide to the Mid-Am and Senior players.

United States Captains Carol-Semple Thompson and Danny Yates will lead a squad of experienced players against a loaded team from Europe led by Tore Sviland, the 2022 Men’s Captain, and Elaine Ratcliffe will lead the women’s side.

Yates and Sviland return as men’s captains, with past Curtis Cup Captains Semple-Thompson and Ratcliffe leading the women’s side in vying for the Thompson-Bonallack Trophy.

The 2022 Match played in Valderrama, Spain, came down to the last match for the US to pull out the victory.  Many of the same players return, and the European team represents over eight European countries.  Team USA has a mix of new and old faces, including the 2024 US Mid-Am Champ Evan Beck and US Senior Am champ Louis Brown.

The Matches include an Am-Am and Four-Ball, Foursomes, and singles matches played over three days of competition. The Landings Golf & Athletic Club hosts a Korn Ferry Tournament and is a community with six golf courses. The matches will be played at the recently renovated Palmetto course.
