The Story

The 2000 Presidents Cup at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club was one of the most lopsided editions in the competition's history. Captained by Ken Venturi, the U.S. Team arrived with a deep roster and quickly took control of the match. 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 scoring depth. 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 with too much ground to recover. It remains the most lopsided result in the history of the competition.
