The Presidents Cup is an extremely unique event that was conceived by the PGA Tour in 1994.
The best American players compete against the best international players outside of Europe. The US side has been extremely dominant in the event’s 30-year history, having only failed to win on two occasions.
In 2024, the 12-man sides will compete across four days of exciting team match play, which is arguably the most exciting format for players to play and for fans and spectators to watch.
Mike Weir is leading the International side and Jim Furyk is leading the American side. We almost have the event mapped out here, but we have some answers below to the most-asked questions online about the Presidents Cup.
