ORLANDO, Fla. — Stanford’s Paula Martín Sampedro was selected for the 2026 Arnold Palmer Cup, announced Tuesday on Golf Channel. She will represent Team International at this year’s event in Ireland.
The 2026 Arnold Palmer Cup will be played July 3-5 at Tralee Golf Links in West Barrow, Ireland. This Ryder-Cup style competition sees men and women from the United States playing side-by-side against their international counterparts. The event began in 1997 and runs every summer.
The individual champion at the 2026 ACC Championship, Martín Sampedro, currently holds a 69.57 scoring average, which would be the second-best in program history if the season ended. 11 of her 21 rounds have been in the 60s, and she has two individuals to her credit this spring.
