Merion holds the record for the most USGA championships hosted by a club (19). The 2022 Curtis Cup will be the third lead in the state of Pennsylvania. Merion recently hosted the match in 1954.
Authoritatively named “The Women’s International Cup,” the prize for the Curtis Cup was formally introduced in 1932 by Harriot and Margaret Curtis, sisters who won the U.S. Women’s Amateur four times between them. The cup, a silver bowl of Paul Revere configuration, is recorded: “To stimulate friendly rivalry among the women golfers of many lands.”The cup was first introduced in 1927 to give momentum to the competition, yet play didn’t start until 1932, to a great extent due to monetary reasons.
In the latest edition of the competition, in 2021, the U.S. mobilized from a three-direct shortage after Day 1 toward rout Great Britain and Ireland, 12 1/2 – 7 1/2, at Conwy Golf Club in Wales. The Americans held the cup following their prevailing 17-3 execution in 2018 at Quaker Ridge. The biennial competition was delayed one year because of COVID-19 and is in the groove again for even-numbered years. World No. 1 Rose Zhang led the U.S. with a 4-0-1 imprint in Wales.
On Friday, June 10, and Saturday, June 11, there will be three-morning fourball matches and three evening foursomes (alternating shot) matches. On Sunday, June 12, there will be eight singles matches. All matches will be 18 holes.
