As the highly anticipated opening session kicks off on Thursday, the prestigious Presidents Cup brings golf enthusiasts together for an exhilarating face-off between the American and International teams. This thrilling showdown will unfold through five Four-ball matches, where both teammates play their own ball, and the team's score for each hole is determined by the lowest score between the pair. Historically, the International Team holds a narrow advantage in this format, with a record of 65 wins, 63 losses, and 14 ties.

Leading the charge for the Internationals are Jason Day and Si Woo Kim, who are set to make their debut as a duo, despite not having partnered in the previous 2019 event. Meanwhile, Team U.S. Captain Jim Furyk has opted for a strategic dispersion of talent by breaking up the renowned pairing of Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. While both players have had a rocky history in Four-ball, collectively holding a 1-5-1 record, their individual skills should not be underestimated.
