Eight countries, represented by 32 players, will compete May 4-7 at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California. Players have until April 7 to commit to the event (seedings will not change).
The format of the event is such:
- Two groups with four teams in each group
- Each team will play the others within the group over three days of fourballs (better ball)
- The top 2 point earners from each group will advance to Sunday
- The semifinals will consist of two singles matches and one foursomes (alternate shot) match
- The two semifinal winning teams will compete in the same format in the finals, with a consolation match
Here are the eight teams and the respective players who have qualified. Qualification was based on aggregate number of Rolex Ranking points as of April 3. The International Crown was most recently contested in 2018, won by South Korea. The U.S. won in 2016 and Spain in 2014.
