Texas Tech Freshman Connor Graham Selected to Compete at Arnold Palmer Cup

LUBBOCK, TX — Texas Tech freshman Connor Graham has been selected to represent the International Men’s Team at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup, the school announced Tuesday following the official roster reveal on the Golf Channel.

Graham, a native of Scotland, is one of 12 players chosen for the International squad, earning his spot as one of two coaches’ picks. The Arnold Palmer Cup, a Ryder Cup-style competition featuring top collegiate golfers from around the world, will be held June 5-7 at Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, South Carolina.

The event matches 24 of the top men’s and women’s collegiate golfers from the United States against a team of international players. Now in its 29th year, the Palmer Cup rotates between U.S. and international venues, with the 2024 edition held in Lahinch, Ireland. The U.S. leads the all-time series 15-12-1.

Graham is the 13th Texas Tech golfer to compete in the Palmer Cup since 2011 and the eighth in the past nine years. Past Red Raider participants include Ludvig Åberg, Sandy Scott, and Tyran Snyders. Texas Tech head coach Greg Sands also served as Team USA’s head coach in 2021.
