It’s time for the latest biennial matchup in men’s professional golf, the 2024 Presidents Cup. The four-day competition kicks off Thursday at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada, where a 12-team group of International players (excluding Europe) will take on their counterparts from the United States. The series has been a bit one-sided, with the Americans owning a 12-1-1 advantage in the Presidents Cup. The lone International win came in 1998 at Royal Melbourne. Royal Montreal hosted the Presidents Cup in 2007, where the Jack Nicklaus-captained Americans came away with a 19½-14½ victory. Presidents Cup: Tournament hub | How to watch
