The golf world is locked in on Canada this week for the 2024 Presidents Cup, where the Americans will attempt to win their 10th straight title.
The biennial competition between American golfers and non-European international golfers is set for this weekend in Quebec. While the United States team has dominated the competition in its three decades of existence, unlike the Ryder Cup, the International team has more than enough weapons available to pull off an upset win in Canada.
Here’s everything you need to know to follow the Presidents Cup this weekend in Montreal.
Where is the Presidents Cup?
Royal Montreal Golf Club in Quebec, Canada, is hosting this year’s event. The course is hosting the Presidents Cup for the second time, and the first time since 2007.
Royal Montreal Golf Club, which was founded in 1873, is the oldest golf club in North America. It has hosted the RBC Canadian Open on the PGA Tour 10 times.
How does the Presidents Cup work?
The event is set up just like the Ryder Cup is, but it’s spread out over an extra day with four-ball, foursomes and singles matches. There will be 30 total matches throughout the competition, ending with a series of singles matches on the final day. Best ball and alternate shot matches, otherwise known as four-ball and foursomes, will kick off the week.
Who won the last Presidents Cup?
Like all but two of the events in history, the United States won the Presidents Cup the last time out in 2022.
The Americans, led by captain Davis Love III, cruised to a dominant 17.5-12.5 win over the International Team at Quail Hollow Club. Of the 12 golfers on this year’s American team, seven of them were part of the winning group in North Carolina.
The United States holds a 12-1-1 record in the Presidents Cup, which started in 1994. The International Team got its lone win at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia in 1998, when it was led by Peter Thompson. They beat the Jack Nicklaus-led Americans by 10 full points. Nicklaus and Gary Player then tied in the 2003 edition in South Africa.
The Americans have won nine consecutive tournaments heading into this week’s event.
