The Presidents Cup is a series of golf matches between teams of professional players representing the United States and the rest of the world less Europe, which competes against the U.S. in a similar but considerably older event, the Ryder Cup.
The Presidents Cup is held biennially. Initially it was held in even numbered years, the Ryder Cup being held in odd numbered years. However, the cancellation of the 2001 Ryder Cup due to 9/11, pushing both tournaments back a year and the Presidents Cup is now held in odd numbered years. It is hosted alternately in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. |
