It was the 14th Canada Cup event, which became the World Cup in 1967. The tournament was a 72-hole stroke play team event with 36 teams. These were the same teams that had competed in 1965 with the addition of South Korea and Thailand, but without Egypt, Monaco and Morocco. Each team consisted of two players from a country. The combined score of each team determined the team results. The American team of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer won by five strokes over the South African team of Harold Henning and Gary Player. The individual competition was won by the Canadian George Knudson, who won at the second hole of a sudden-playoff over the Japanese Hideyo Sugimoto.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=4tw9AAAAIBAJ&sjid=B0gMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1810%2C2153469 United States victory by five strokes The Glasgow Herald 14 November 1966 5 Teams Country Players Roberto De Vicenzo and Leopoldo Ruiz Bruce Devlin and Kel Nagle Oswald Gertenmaier and Hans Stroll Donald Swaelens and Flory Van Donck BRA 1960 José Maria Gonzalez and Igolata Reis Frank Fowler and George Knudson Francisco Cerda and Alberto Salas Alfonso Bohórquez and Pedro Pablo García Jiri Dvorak (a) and Jan Kunšta (a) Herluf Hansen and Jorgen Korfitzen Peter Alliss and Tony Jacklin Jean Garaïalde and Jean-Claude Harismendy Herbert Becker and Toni Kugelmüller HAW Ted Makalena and Paul Scodeller Jimmy Martin and Christy O'Connor Snr Roberto Bernardini and Emanuele Canessa JPN 1947 Mitsutaka Kono and Hideyo Sugimoto MEX 1934 José González and Juan Neri Martin Roesink and André van Pinxten Frank Buckler and Bob Charles Hugo Nari and Bernabé Fajardo PHL 1936 Ben Arda and Luis Silverio (a) Fernando Pina and Manuel Ribeiro PRI 1952 Juan Gonzalez and Chi-Chi Rodríguez Eric Brown and John Panton ZAF 1928 Harold Henning and Gary Player KOR 1949 Han Chang-sang and Hong Duck-san ESP 1945 Valentín Barrios and Sebastián Miguel Åke Bergquist and Harry Karlsson-Fakt Jacky Bonvin and Ronald Tingley Chen Ching-Po and Lu Liang-Huan Uthai Dabpavibul and Seng Suwankart Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer Enrique Fernández and Juan Sereda VEN 1930 Franci Betancourt and Teobaldo Perez Sid Mouland and Dave Thomas Herbert Becker and Toni Kugelmüller Sourcehttps://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=Fr8DH2VBP9sC&dat=19661111&printsec=frontpage&hl=en Palmer takes lead with 133 The Gazette Montreal 11 November 1966 23 Associated Press Scores Team Place Country Score To par Money (US$)1 135-135-136-142=548 −28 2,0002 ZAF 1928 138-138-139-138=553 −23 1,0003 135-138-143-138=554 −22 8004 135-141-137-143=556 −20 4005 JPN 1947 135-146-136-144=561 −15 6 134-144-139-146=563 −137 141-143-142-139=565 −118 141-141-142-147=571 −59 ESP 1945 149-140-138-145=572 −410 144-153-137-140=574 −211 144-152-139-141=576 E12 143-146-143-146=578 +213 144-146-143-148=581 +514 149-145-147-143=584 +815 HAW 147-146-144-148=585 +916 139-151-149-147=586 +10T17 142-148-145-153=588 +12 MEX 1934 146-146-146-150=58819 151-148-143-148=590 +1420 147-145-153-148=593 +17T21 144-148-146-156=594 +18 PHL 1936 142-152-147-153=59423 140-155-150-151=596 +2024 KOR 1949 150-149-150-150=599 +2325 PRI 1952 148-148-154-152=602 +2626 149-151-156-150=606 +3027 149-152-154-152=607 +3128 BRA 1960 154-155-159-145=613 +3729 151-149-153-163=616 +4030 148-157-151-163=619 +4331 VEN 1930 157-155-155-163=620 +4432 149-161-165-154=629 +53T33 155-162-156-161=634 +58 160-163-157-154=63435 165-174-163-160=662 +8636 159-163-177-169=668 +92 International Trophy Place Player Country Score To par Money (US$)1 George Knudson 64-68-66-74=272 −16 1,0002 Hideyo Sugimoto JPN 1947 66-69-68-69=272 500T3 Lu Liang-Huan 67-68-73-65=273 −15 300 Jack Nicklaus 69-68-67-69=2735 Arnold Palmer 66-67-69-73=275 −13 6 Harold Henning ZAF 1928 69-67-70-70=276 −12T7 Bob Charles 69-76-64-68=277 −11Bruce Devlin 69-71-67-70=277Gary Player ZAF 1928 69-71-69-68=27710 Roberto De Vicenzo 69-69-73-67=278 −10 Knudson and Sugimoto contested a sudden-death playoff.
