About The President's Cup

The structure of the match has been taken largely from the Ryder Cup. It is comprised of twelve golfers in each team and a non-playing captain, who is most often an outstanding golf player. The captains have special tasks of pairing the teams in the double events, which include both alternate shot and best ball formats. Nevertheless, in the Presidents Cup all twelve golfers have to play both matches on Friday, which constitutes six matches during Friday session. The Ryder Cup has only four matches. Only two golfers have the right to sit out each session of Saturday matches. Every golfer has to play one match on Saturday.

The main difference between the structure of the Presidents Cup and the Ryder Cup is that the former includes six additional matches, which does not give a chance for the team to hide its weak side. All the 24 golfers have to be on the field for all three days. There is no such possibility as in the Ryder Cup competition, when three European players sit out on the bench during the sixteen four-ball and better-ball matches on the first two days. The USA team became the winner of the Ryder Cup in 1999 as it used all the twelve players on three days of the championship.

The Cup was founded and started by the PGA Tour. During the inaugural event of the Presidents Cup a former U.S. President Gerald Ford was the Honorary Chairman. The following tournaments saw such famous people as former President George HW Bush, Australian Prime Minister John Howard and former President Bill Clinton in the position.
