Team USA Claims 10th Consecutive Presidents Cup Victory

Xander Schauffele spearheaded a flurry of birdies on Sunday, leading a dominant US performance that sealed a 10th consecutive Presidents Cup victory. Schauffele's run of four straight birdies set the tone early, with the Americans pulling away to clinch the win long before all the matches had finished. The US enjoyed an 18.5 to 11.5 over the International Team.

Sam Burns capped off a flawless week, while Russell Henley marked his debut with a commanding 3&2 victory over Sungjae Im. It was Keegan Bradley, however, who delivered the decisive point. Bradley’s 18th-hole showdown ended when Si Woo Kim missed a 10-foot putt, securing the Americans’ 15 ½ points needed to retain the Cup.

The Internationals needed a near-miracle at Royal Montreal heading into Sunday’s 12 singles matches trailing the American Team 7 to 11 points. The Mike Weir led team fought hard but came up short once again. Despite some close matches, they couldn't overcome a powerful US squad. Their last victory dates back to 1998, a streak that now stretches over 25 years. 

Team USA’s winning streak also vindicated captain Jim Furyk, who led the Americans after his last team captaincy ended in a loss at the 2018 Ryder Cup.

Schauffele's opening match against Jason Day was a masterclass in pressure golf. The Californian rattled off five birdies in eight holes, quickly putting the US on the front foot.

Sam Burns, the only player to remain unbeaten, showed nerves of steel. Facing Tom Kim, Burns matched a brilliant tee shot on the 17th with a wedge to 4 feet and saved par on the 18th for a halved match that brought the Americans within touching distance of victory.

Kim, the heart of the Internationals' challenge, remained hopeful for future success despite the defeat.

While the Internationals managed points from Hideki Matsuyama, who beat world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, and Corey Conners’ win over Tony Finau, their 11-7 deficit heading into the singles was too steep to climb. Now, they'll wait until 2026 at Medinah, hoping to end the drought.

For the Americans, this win provided redemption following their Ryder Cup loss in Rome last year. As Adam Scott, playing in his 11th Presidents Cup, walked off after a loss to Collin Morikawa, he was left reflecting on whether he’ll ever experience victory in this event. For now, the Americans’ grip on the Presidents Cup remains unshaken.
