The United States team had 12 players including a captain who participated in the event. The International team had 12 players plus a non-playing captain. On the first and second day four-ball was played in the morning and foursomes were played in the afternoon. On the third day only singles were played.
Teams
Greg Norman, ranked second in the International team, withdrew a few days before the event, because of illness. He was replaced by Bradley Hughes who was the highest ranked player available. A number of "international" players were unavailable because of other commitments. Ernie Els, ranked third, played in the Dunhill British Masters, while Masashi "Jumbo" Ozaki and Tsuneyuki "Tommy" Nakajima, ranked fifth and ninth, played in the ANA Open the same week.
