The 2014 International Crown was a women's golf team event organized by the LPGA, played July 24–27 at the Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, a suburb northwest of Baltimore. This was the inaugural International Crown, a biennial match play event contested between teams of four players representing eight countries. The field in 2014 consisted of 31 professionals and one amateur, and the winning team, Spain, earned $400,000, or $100,000 per player.

The next edition in 2016 is scheduled for the Merit Club near Libertyville, Illinois.

Format

The first three days, Thursday through Saturday, feature round-robin pool play matches at fourball. Each match was worth two points for a win and one point for a halve.[2] Following the completion of pool play, the top two teams in each pool and one wild card team (determined by a playoff of the third place teams) advanced to singles play. The five remaining teams were re-seeded based on points earned in pool play, and each team played one singles match against each of the other teams on Sunday. The total points earned in pool and singles play determined the team champion.[3]

Teams

On November 13, 2013, eight teams qualified to participate in this event, based on the combined world rankings of the top four players from each country: Australia, Chinese Taipei, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States.[4][5] The team members were finalized on March 31, 2014, and divided into two pools.[2][6] Due to a world rankings error, the teams from Australia and Chinese Taipei switched seeds and pools.[7][8]
