The Story
The 2024 Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club marked a historic tenth consecutive victory for the United States, cementing their dynasty in the biennial competition. Captained by Jim Furyk, the American squad arrived in Canada with a blend of seasoned veterans and explosive talent. They immediately asserted their authority on Thursday, sweeping the opening Four-ball session 5-0 in a display of overwhelming firepower. However, the International Team, led by Canadian icon Mike Weir, refused to fold on home soil. In a stirring Friday comeback, they swept the Foursomes session 5-0, electrifying the Montreal crowds and leveling the score at 5-5—the first time in history both sides had swept the opening days. The momentum shifted back to the U.S. on Saturday, as key pairings like Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay reasserted control, giving the Americans an 11-7 lead heading into Sunday Singles. The final day showcased the depth of American golf. Xander Schauffele set the tone with a dominant 4&3 victory over Jason Day, while Patrick Cantlay dispatched Taylor Pendrith. The clinching moment came from Keegan Bradley, who defeated Si Woo Kim 1-up on the 18th hole, securing the decisive point. Despite Hideki Matsuyama's impressive win over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the U.S. prevailed 18.5-11.5, continuing their unbeaten streak on international soil since 1998.
