President's Cup Information
"The Presidents Cup was developed to give the world’s best non-European players an opportunity to compete in international team match-play competition. A biennial event played in non-Ryder Cup years, the first Presidents Cup was played in 1994 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. The United States Team, captained by Hale Irwin, defeated the International side 20-12. The Presidents Cup competition consists of 32 matches—10 foursomes and 10 four-ball matches. There are 12 singles matches involving all players on the final Sunday. All matches are worth one point each, for a total of 32 points. There are no playoffs for foursome, four-ball or singles matches all square after 18 holes. Each side receives ½ point. Former U.S. President Gerald Ford presided over the first Presidents Cup Match as Honorary Chairman. Former President George Bush, like Ford an avid golfer, served as Honorary Chairman for the 1996 Presidents Cup. Australian Prime Minister John Howard was Honorary Chairman for the 1998 event. In 2000, President Bill Clinton made history when he became the first sitting President to serve as Honorary Chairman. In 2003, Thabo Mbeki, the President of the Republic of South Africa will be Honorary Chairman." |
