What to know

  • The U.S. enters as overwhelming favorite, seeking its 11th consecutive win with a 13-1-1 all-time Presidents Cup record, while the International team has not won since 2003.
  • International captain Geoff Ogilvy assembled a roster featuring major champions Adam Scott, Hideki Matsuyama, and Ryan Fox, but the team lacks depth compared to the U.S. side.
  • Three International players—Colombia's Nico Echavarria, Japan's Ryo Hisatsune, and Canada's Nick Taylor—will make their Presidents Cup debuts.
  • The U.S. holds clear statistical advantages in driving accuracy and putting, while the International side counters with strength in approach play, particularly Si Woo Kim leading the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach.

“They need … a miracle? Only kidding (kind of). But without the talent they lost to LIV, along with being without stalwart Jason Day, I just don't see a path to victory for the Internationals.”
