The Alfred Dunhill Cup was a team

European Tour, which means that it was supported by the Tour, but the prize money did not count towards the Tour's Order of Merit. The host course was the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland
.

The stature of the members of the American team was variable as the Dunhill Cup clashed with a PGA Tour event, though the fact that it was played at "The Home of Golf" helped to attract some star names. The other countries were generally represented by their best three golfers, or nearly so.

The Dunhill Cup was in competition with the

pro-am
tournament and an official European Tour event.

Format

The field was always 16 teams of three players each. From 1985 to 1991, they compete in a

medal match play
.
