2013

The 2013 Presidents Cup returned to Muirfield Village in Ohio, making it the first venue to host the event twice. U.S. Captain Fred Couples led a team that felt comfortable on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course, facing an International Team led by Nick Price. The week was marred by heavy rain, forcing delays and compressed scheduling, but the U.S. team managed the conditions superiorly. Tiger Woods, battling back stiffness, once again proved to be the closer. For the third consecutive Presidents Cup, Woods secured the clinching point for the United States, defeating Richard Sterne in Sunday Singles. The partnership of Woods and Matt Kuchar was particularly effective, as was the duo of Steve Stricker and Jordan Spieth. Despite a spirited effort from International standouts like Jason Day and Graham DeLaet, the Americans maintained a comfortable buffer throughout the weekend. The 18.5-15.5 victory marked the fifth straight win for the U.S., prompting discussions about format changes to help level the playing field for the International Team in future editions.
