2024 Presidents Cup Montreal

The 2024 Presidents Cup is underway in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where the United States team looks to extend their dominant history in the competition. Having won nine consecutive trophies since 1998, the Americans are set against the International team, which seeks its first victory in over two decades.

The tournament began with a strong performance from the U.S. team, sweeping the first round’s four-ball matches and establishing a 5-0 lead. This marked only the seventh sweep in the history of the Presidents Cup. However, the competition became intense as the International team managed a remarkable rally by winning the second round of foursomes, tying the score at 5-5 and reigniting hopes for an upset.

Day Three of the Presidents Cup is set for Saturday, with eight matches scheduled. The format includes two sessions of four matches each—morning four-ball and afternoon foursomes. The Americans, fielding top-ranked players such as Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, face the International team led by veteran Adam Scott, with Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim being notable contributors to their past successes.

The start of Saturday’s play was delayed due to heavy fog, pushing the resumption of play to 9 a.m. The matches include iconic pairings such as Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith against Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa, and Hideki Matsuyama teaming with Sungjae Im to face Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns.

Broadcast coverage of the event is handled by NBC and Golf Channel. Viewers can catch the morning action starting at 7 a.m. ET on Golf Channel, with NBC taking over from 8 a.m. ET onwards. Live streaming options are also available, offering comprehensive coverage of the Saturday matches.

The Presidents Cup continues to captivate audiences with its competitive spirit and the passionate support of fans, reminiscent of the lively atmosphere witnessed earlier at the TBC Canadian Open in Hamilton.
