The golf world is looking to Canada this week for the 2024 Presidents Cup, where the Americans will attempt to win their 10th consecutive title.
The biennial competition between American golfers and non-European international golfers will take place this weekend in Quebec. While the United States team has dominated the competition over its three-decade history, unlike the Ryder Cup, the international team has more than enough weapons at its disposal to pull off an upset in Canada.
Here’s everything you need to know to follow the Presidents Cup this weekend in Montreal.
Where is the Presidents Cup?
The Royal Montreal Golf Club, located in Quebec, Canada, will host the event this year. The course will host the Presidents Cup for the second time, and the first time since 2007.
The Royal Montreal Golf Club, founded in 1873, is the oldest golf club in North America. It has hosted the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open 10 times.
How does the Presidents Cup work?
The event is similar in format to the Ryder Cup, but it is played over an extra day with fourball, 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 fourballs 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 in 2022.
The Americans, led by captain Davis Love III, easily cruised to a 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 were part of the winning group in North Carolina.
The United States has a 12-1 record in the Presidents Cup, which began in 1994. The international team’s only victory came at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia in 1998, when it was skipped by Peter Thompson. They beat the Americans, led by Jack Nicklaus, by 10 points. Nicklaus and Gary Player then tied the 2003 edition in South Africa.
The Americans have won nine consecutive tournaments heading into this week’s event.
