Tue Sep 24 03:25:26 UTC 2024: ## International Team Aims for Upset at 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal
The golf world is turning its attention to Canada this week as the 2024 Presidents Cup takes place at the historic Royal Montreal Golf Club. The biennial event pits the United States against a team of international golfers (excluding Europe), with the American team seeking a historic tenth straight victory.
Despite the U.S. dominance in the competition’s history, the International team is poised for a potential upset. Led by Captain Mike Weir, the squad boasts a strong lineup with several players capable of challenging the Americans.
The tournament, mirroring the Ryder Cup format, features four-ball, foursomes, and singles matches across four days. The United States, captained by Jim Furyk, boasts a strong squad with seven returning members from their 2022 victory.
However, the International team is looking to recapture the magic of their lone win in 1998 at Royal Melbourne. The team is hoping home turf advantage at the prestigious Royal Montreal Golf Club, the oldest in North America, will inspire them to a memorable victory.
The competition kicks off this weekend, with coverage available on Golf Channel, NBC, and Peacock. The event will return to the United States in 2026 at Medinah Country Club, followed by a return to Australia in 2028 at Kingston Heath Golf Club.
With the International team eager to end the American winning streak, this year’s Presidents Cup promises to be a thrilling contest. Will the Americans maintain their dominance, or will the International team pull off a historic upset in Montreal? The golf world is waiting with bated breath.
