Presidents Cup

Bilateral and Challenge Series

The Presidents Cup is a series of men's professional golf matches between a team representing the United States and an International Team made up of players from the rest of the world except Europe, which competes against the United States in the older Ryder Cup. It has been held every two years since 1994, first in even-numbered years and then in odd-numbered years after the 2001 Ryder Cup was cancelled, before returning to even-numbered years after the 2020 Ryder Cup was postponed. It is hosted alternately in the United States and in countries represented by the International Team, and the next one is due at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Victoria, Australia in September 2028. The format is match play drawn from the Ryder Cup, with twelve players a side, foursomes, fourball and singles, and each match is worth one point. Since 2018 the International team has used its own logo and flag designed by Ernie Els and Jeff Costa.
