The Presidents Cup is an event that pits a team of golfers from the United States against an International squad from around the world, excluding Europe. The U.S. faces golfers from Europe in another biennial competition, the Ryder Cup.
The Presidents Cup first began in 1994 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Prince William County, Virginia. The venue of competition alternates between U.S. locations and foreign ones.
The Presidents Cup is unique in that there’s no purse or prize money, and players are not paid for their participation. Rather, each golfer allocates a portion of revenue generated to support the charities of their choosing. More than 475 charities across 18 different countries have benefitted from the Presidents Cup, with more than $56.4 million generated.
The 2024 Presidents Cup begins Thursday, Sept. 26, with the opening ceremony and first round matches (four-ball). Barring weather disruptions, the event will conclude Sunday, Sept. 29, with final round matches (singles).
The Presidents Cup is taking place in Canada at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Île Bizard, Quebec, which is about 20 miles west of downtown Montreal.
