About the Alliance Golf Cup
The Alliance Golf Cup features two days of Presidents Cup-style competition between an international and a U.S. team, both vying for the Alliance Golf Cup trophy. Last year’s championship, the inaugural Alliance Golf Cup, was won by the U.S. team.

Sixty players will participate in the event. Each team will consist of 10 professionals and 20 amateurs, men and women with handicaps ranging from 0 to 20, playing in friendly competition.

The captains for the 2015 Alliance Golf Cup recently were announced. Leading the international team will be Patricia Meunier-Lebouc, a French former professional golfer on the LET and LPGA Tours. Meunier-Lebouc was a 7-time Tour winner, including the 2003 Kraft Nabisco Championship (a Major), and was a member of two victorious Solheim Cup teams. She currently instructs golf at Ibis Golf & Country Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., serves as national coach of the French Golf Federation and has been named coach of the 2016 French Women’s Golf Olympic Team.

Captaining the U.S. team will be John Means Jr., men’s golf coach at the University of  Idaho. In 2013, Means was inducted into the Golf Coaches Association of America Hall of Fame.
