The United States is back on top looking for history at the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with one day and 12 matches remaining. While the Americans have hoisted nine straight trophies at this event, the International side has yet to claim a Presidents Cup for itself since 1998.
Chances of that streak ending on Sunday lessened greatly after the first five matches of play as the Americans swept four-ball to take a seemingly insurmountable 5-0 lead. It was just the seventh sweep of a Presidents Cup round in event history at the time. About 24 hours later came the eighth as the Internationals answered in kind sweeping foursomes to even the event at 5-5 and give themselves a legitimate shot at pulling of a substantial upset.
The U.S. jumped back into a substantial lead following the third day of competition as eight matches split between four-ball and foursomes left the Americans with an 11-7 advantage entering Sunday singles. All 24 Presidents Cup golfers will be in action with the United States needing to win just four of 12 matches to retain the cup (four wins plus a tie to win outright).
The Americans boast Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, the top two players in the world at the conclusion of the 2024 season. While Schauffele has been strong at the Presidents Cup, Scheffler struggled markedly in the team competition entering this year's event. The U.S. also entered with Wyndham Clark, Sahith Theegala, Brian Harman and Russell Henley as first-timers along with Max Homa, who has struggled this season but is undefeated in the Presidents Cup.
Adam Scott leads the International team playing his 11th Presidents Cup, and Hideki Matsuyama stands as the team's most successful PGA Tour player this season. Only Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim had winning marks entering this competition with one more than one Presidents Cup appearance to their name, while Mackenzie Hughes and Min Woo Lee suited up for the first time.
No matter how it shakes out at Royal Montreal, this Presidents Cup is going to continue being a whole lot of fun. International team competitions normally have rowdy crowds, and there's no reason to expect anything different this year in Canada -- especially given how loud fans were earlier this year at the RBC Canadian Open.
