The golf world is focused on Canada this week for the 2024 Presidents Cup, where the Americans will try to win their 10th consecutive title.
The biennial competition between American golfers and non-European international golfers will be held this weekend in Quebec. While the U.S. team has dominated the competition in its three decades of existence, unlike the Ryder Cup, the international team has more than enough weapons to pull off a surprise victory in Canada.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the Presidents Cup this weekend in Montreal.
Where is the Presidents Cup?
The Royal Montreal Golf Club in Quebec, Canada, will host this year’s event. The course will host the Presidents Cup for the second time and for the first time since 2007.
Founded in 1873, the Royal Montreal Golf Club is the oldest golf club in North America and has hosted the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open 10 times.
How does the Presidents Cup work?
The event runs in a similar way to the Ryder Cup, but takes place over an additional day with four-ball, foursomes and singles matches. There will be 30 matches in total throughout the competition, culminating in a series of singles matches on the final day. Best-ball and alternate-shot matches, also known as four-ball and foursomes, will kick off the week.
Who won the last Presidents Cup?
Like all but two events in history, the United States won the Presidents Cup last time out in 2022.
The Americans, led by captain Davis Love III, claimed a resounding 17.5-12.5 victory over the international team at Quail Hollow Club. Of the 12 golfers on this year’s U.S. team, seven of them were part of the winning group in North Carolina.
The United States has a 12-1-1 record in the Presidents Cup, which began in 1994. The international team earned its only victory at Australia’s Royal Melbourne Golf Club in 1998, when it was led by Peter Thompson. They beat the Jack Nicklaus-led Americans by a full 10 points. Nicklaus and Gary Player tied in the 2003 edition in South Africa.
The Americans have won nine straight tournaments entering this week’s event.
