2000

The 2000 Presidents Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club was a demolition. A pissed-off American team, fresh off losing the Ryder Cup in 1999 (though they won it back, the narrative was about dominance), looked to assert themselves. Captained by Ken Venturi, they did exactly that. The U.S. team routed the Internationals 21.5-10.5, the largest margin of victory in the event's history. The International Team, led by Peter Thomson, had no answer for the American onslaught. The U.S. swept the opening Foursomes 5-0 and never looked back. It was a week of complete dominance that led to questions about the competitive viability of the event. The American team, featuring Woods, Mickelson, and Duval, played relentless golf, leaving the International squad demoralized. It remains the most lopsided result in the history of the competition.
