The Presidents Cup was the brainchild of former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman, the capstone of his legacy before he stepped down in June 1994.
The first Presidents Cup was played outside of Washington D.C. and former U.S. Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush were in attendance, helping to create international appeal.
The biennial competition has been a one-sided affair with the U.S. side holding a 12-1-1 record all-time. The International Team is winless since 1998 but hope springs eternal and the latest edition will be held in Montreal from Sept. 26-29.
Several future locations have also been announced with Medinah to serve as the next U.S. host in 2026.
