The Cup was played 16–19 October at the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland.

The South African team of Ernie Els, David Frost, and Retief Goosen beat the Swedish team of Joakim Haeggman, Per-Ulrik Johansson, and Jesper Parnevik in the final.

After three rounds of round-robin play, the top team in each group advanced to a single elimination playoff.

Matches tied at the end of 18 holes were extended to a sudden-death playoff.

The tie-breaker for ties within a group was based on match record, then head-to-head.
