The Palmer Cup Rankings use GolfStat's NCAA Player Rankings as a base for the polls, awarding bonus points for wins and high finishes and negative bonus points for poor finishes.

The 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup will be the first using the expanded format of United States men's and women's collegiate golfers versus their counterparts from around the world.
The remaining six men's and women's spots for the United States will consist of five committee selections, including at least one non-Division I golfer, and a coaches pick. The balance of the International team will include the men's and women's winners of The R&A Scholars Tournament, four committee selections and a coaches pick.
