Date: Thursday, September 26

Time: 30 minutes before first tee time (approximately 11:35 a.m. ET)

The United States remained undefeated on home soil in 2022, defeating the international team at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.

Then-rookie Scottie Scheffler led the USA, closely followed by Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.

Scheffler’s inconsistent play in this event (0-3-1) raises the question: If he struggles again on this stage, can the International team take advantage and claim its first victory since 1998?

There are plenty of questions on that side of the competition as well, as there is no obvious player who can counter Scheffler or Schauffele. While the Americans have one or two players they can rely on, the International team has a handful of experienced players who can play well but are not sure-fire bets.

The Americans are the favoriteswith greater squad depth than their opponents. Max Homa was 4-0 in 2022 and Cantlay and Schauffele both have a record of 6-3 in previous tournaments.

Hideki Matsuyama, Adam Scott and Jason Day all have plenty of experience but also have losing records at this event. South Koreans Si Woo Kim and Sungjae Im are the only members of the international team with winning records.

On paper, the Americans should win their tenth Presidents Cup in a row.
