Selection of the Arnold Palmer Cup representative in the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by Mastercard is determined by a vote of the 20 Arnold Palmer Cup participants prior to the competition. The players select a member of each team (excluding themselves) who they think best represents the “Arnold Palmer Legacy,” that is, the values that Arnold Palmer has exhibited during his legendary career. The top vote getter from the winning team will earn the invitation. The Arnold Palmer Cup player selected must remain a collegiate golfer to compete at API. The junior caddie for the designated Arnold Palmer Cup player is also invited to Bay Hill.
