Michael Carter Award

Michael Carter's spirit will forever live in this competition.

The Michael Carter Award

On February 13, 2002, former Penn State University golfer and GCAA Arnold Palmer Cup intern Michael Carter died in an automobile accident at the young age of 19.  While Carter tragically left this world too soon, his infectiously fun-loving spirit will forever live in this competition. The Michael Carter “Junior” Memorial Award is presented to the Arnold Palmer Cup participant from each team who best represents the qualities and ideals that made this young man unique. James Leow of Singapore and Cole Sherwood of Austin, Texas, were honored in 2022.
