Presidents Cup Golf 2024 │Venue, Format, and More

Presidents Cup at Royal Montréal features world-class golfers in intense match-play, Sept 24-29, 2024.

The Royal Montréal Golf Club is set to host the 15th edition of this great international golf competition. Over the past 25 years, the world's top golfers have come together to play for their teams, and nations and celebrate the chance to lift this Cup. By hosting the 2007 Presidents Golf Cup, Royal Montréal will become second on the list of countries that have welcomed this event twice. This event may show similarities to the Ryder Cup, but the United States competes against Europe in that case. Another difference between these events is that the Presidents Cup goes on for four days, while the Ryder Cup runs for three days.

The event has been running for almost three decades now, and it has been held literally all over the globe, including Australia, the USA, Canada, South Africa, and Korea. The only two places that have hosted it more than once are Royal Melbourne and Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia. Now, Royal Montreal is joining this cool club of venues. The Cup Golf 2024, happening from September 24-29, promises to be an electrifying play. 

It is unique to any other golf tournament because of the stadium-like atmosphere that includes grandstands, numerous hospitality options, international cuisine, and a positive community spirit that changes local areas leading up to the event within the spirit of golf. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan looks forward to playing at Royal Montréal. He told the CBC, “The 151st year of the course, which is truly remarkable.

Their captain will be Mike Weir, and they'll bet on Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im. It's going to be close, but the depth and experience of some of the US team's players give them that bit of an edge. It is pulse-pounding to watch for Scheffler against Matsuyama and Schauffele v/s Im. The US team's recent wins and the home turf edge at Royal Montreal Golf Club point to their likely victory. Still, the International team's fighting spirit and skill could pave the way for an upset. Golf enthusiasts can look forward to a thrilling and unpredictable tournament.
