Team USA vs. International Team Prediction on September 26-29, 2024

Match info

The 15th Presidents Cup, the men’s golf tournament consisting of a match series between an American team and a team representing the rest of the world outside of Europe (the European team competes in the Ryder Cup, a much older and shorter competition pitting them against the United States), begins play on Thursday, September 26, on the renowned Blue Course of the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Quebec, Canada, which hosts the RBC Canadian Open during the season. The event ends on Sunday, September 29, with the action starting at 8 a.m. local time each day.

Jim Furyk-captained American side is a 1.98 favorite to win the competition based on odds of 20BET. Mike Weir, a Canadian, is captaining the international squad, which is at 3.32. In the case of a tie, the USA would keep the trophy.

Meeting statistics

The PGA Tour is responsible for organizing the Presidents Cup, which was founded in 1994. The U.S. holds a 12-1-1 record in this competition; their only defeat was in 1998 at Royal Melbourne in Australia. Team USA has defeated the International Team in nine consecutive Presidents Cups.

Rather than the more common stroke-play format, a four-day Presidents Cup features a match-play format. Five “foursome” matches and five “four-ball” matches are scheduled for Thursday and Friday, respectively. Four “foursome” matches are scheduled for Saturday morning, and four “four-ball” matches are scheduled for the afternoon. On Sunday, there will be 12 singles matches to conclude the event. It will take 15.5 points to win the Cup, with a total of 30 matches and one point awarded to each.

There are typically four par-3s and just two par-5s on the 7,279-yard par-70 at the Royal Montreal Golf Club. The back nine is more open and features water on six holes, including the final five holes. The front nine is largely tree-lined. In the landing zones, the fairways are typically 26 to 30 yards wide.

Match analytics

This American squad is by far the less experienced team this week, with four rookies. They should have enough quality, though, to hold off the internationals. Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler, the two greatest golfers in the world right now, are on the American side, and they’ll compete in Montreal after being the top-2 favorites on Canadian bookmakers throughout the PGA Tour season. The one player who has the ability to really make the US shudder is Korean Sungjae Im, who’s most certainly going to be the event’s best international point scorer. In 2019, he emerged as the highest-scoring member of the International Team. Not to be forgotten is Adam Scott. One of the most entertaining tales of the entire season has been the Australian golfer’s summer rise, as he has three top-5 performances in six starts.

The United States is to win the Presidents Cup for the 10th time in a row, but not that easy; hence, we suggest opting for a small margin for their triumph if you decide to bet.

Tip: Presidents Cup 2024 – Winning Margin USA By 1-3 Points, with odds of 4.80 on Loot.bet.
