2017

The 2017 Presidents Cup at Liberty National Golf Club, set against the stunning backdrop of the Manhattan skyline, was a procession of American dominance. Captained by Steve Stricker, the U.S. Team threatened to end the matches on Saturday – a feat never before achieved – by building an insurmountable lead. They dominated the Foursomes and Four-ball sessions with clinical precision, led by the dynamic duo of Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. The event was historically significant for the presence of three former U.S. Presidents—Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama—who joined the opening ceremony and first tee, underscoring the event's growing prestige. On the course, Dustin Johnson went 4-0-1, while Phil Mickelson, playing in his 12th consecutive Cup, continued to defy age with key points. The International Team, led by Nick Price, found themselves in a deep hole early, trailing 14.5-3.5 heading into Saturday afternoon. Although they rallied in Sunday Singles to win the session 7.5-4.5, avoiding a historic blowout, the result was never in doubt. The U.S. won 19-11, marking their seventh consecutive victory and highlighting the formidable depth of American golf.
