The International team, it’s determined by the top 8 players with the most points at the official World Golf Ranking between August 2018, and August 2019.

When it comes to the Americans, their team is determined by those who earned the most FedExCup points from the 2017 BMW Championship to the 2019 BMW Championship. It’s important to consider that points made in the 2018-19 PGA Tour campaign count double.

2019 President’s Cup Odds to Win: Big American Success

This is the third time that this particular tournament is going to take place at Royal Melbourne, including the 1998 edition, an event that remains the only victory for the International team since the inception of this tournament back in 1994.

Team USA has won the rest of the tourneys, except for 2003, when the event ended up in a tie.

The Americans are returning to the tournament after getting a 19-11 win in 2017 at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey.

Tiger Woods is set to be the captain of Team America for the first time in the famous golfer’s career. Ernie Els will be the one leading the charge for the International team. As the captain, Woods had the chance to pick up his assistants, and so he inclined for Fred Couples, Zach Johnson, and Steve Stricker.

Els, on the other hand, picked Trevor Immelman, KJ Choi, Geoff Ogilvy, and Mike Weir to assist him down under. A thing to notice is that the number of captains increased from 2 to 4 since the 2017 edition of the tourney.
