The 16th Presidents Cup is currently unfolding at Medinah Country Club in Illinois, where Team USA is hosting the International Team in a four‑day, 30‑point showdown. Over the first three days, the competition has been tightly contested. On Thursday, the United States captured three of the five four‑ball matches, giving them an early edge. The International side responded forcefully on Friday, sweeping all five foursomes matches and pulling level.
Saturday’s morning four‑ball session saw the Americans edge out a 2.5‑1.5 win, narrowing the gap, but the International Team rallied in the afternoon foursomes to share the points, leaving the scoreboard at 10.5‑7.5 in favor of the visitors as the event entered its decisive final day. Sunday’s singles matches feature all 24 participants, each playing an individual head‑to‑head contest. The first team to accumulate 15.5 points over the week will claim the Presidents Cup.
As defending champions, Team USA is aiming for an 11th straight victory and needs 7.5 points from the singles to retain the trophy, or eight points to win it outright. The International Team, which has not won the event since 1998 and has only one victory in the previous 15 editions, must secure at least five points on the final day to capture its second title and its first away win. Cameron Young, who opened the Ryder Cup for the United States last September and secured an early point at Bethpage Black, leads the American lineup on Sunday. He will face Japanese newcomer Ryo Hisatsune in the opening match at 12:02 p.m.
BST. Young’s strong start could set the tone for the United States, which is looking to build on its 2024 triumph and maintain dominance in this biennial contest. Team captain Brandt Snedeker has arranged his roster to maximize depth, while International captain Geoff Ogilvy has deliberately held back many of his top players for later tees, hoping to finish strong. The International side must earn five points from the singles to achieve a historic victory on foreign soil.
