TALLAHASSEE – Florida State men's golf team rising seniors Tyler Weaver and Jack Whaley were named to the Great Britain and Ireland team for the 51st Walker Cup, which will be held Sept. 5-6 at Lahinch Golf Club in Ireland. The roster was announced on Tuesday by The R&A.
The team features 10 players, and Weaver is one of the six returning members from the 2025 squad. Whaley qualifies for his first Walker Cup after winning the 126th U.S. Amateur Championship.
Weaver, who has moved to second in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, returns to the Walker Cup looking to lead GB&I to its first victory over the United States since 2015. In 2025, Weaver secured the opening point along with Connor Graham behind a 3&1 win over Jackson Koivun and Tommy Morrison. The USA would win the Walker Cup, 17-9, which was held at Cypress Point in Pebble Beach California.
Whaley is one of four players to earn their debut, after becoming just the third Englishman in history to win the Havemeyer Trophy after defeating Jay Leng Jr. 4&3 at Merion Golf Club on Sunday.
Matches on Sept. 5 will feature four foursomes in the morning and eight singles in the afternoon, followed by four foursome matches on Sunday and 10 singles in the afternoon.
