The Presidents Cup: Austria's Team?

The Presidents Cup is a biennial series of men's golf matches held between a team from the United States and an International Team representing the rest of the world, excluding Europe. The International Team competes under a specially designed logo and flag. The cup is hosted alternately in the United States and in countries represented by the International Team. The Presidents Cup has been hosted in Australia in the past, but it is unclear if the International Team has ever been represented by Austria. The next Presidents Cup will be held in 2026 at the Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, United States.

The Presidents Cup is a biennial golf tournament

The tournament consists of 12 players per side, each with a captain, usually a highly respected figure in the golfing world. The captain is responsible for choosing pairs for doubles events, which include both alternate shot and best-ball formats, also known as "foursomes" and "fourball" matches. Each match is worth one point, with half a point awarded to each team in the event of a halved match. While there have been small changes to the format over the years, the final day has always consisted of 12 singles matches.

The Presidents Cup was initially held in even-numbered years, with the Ryder Cup taking place in odd-numbered years. However, following the cancellation of the 2001 Ryder Cup due to the September 11 attacks, both tournaments were pushed back a year, and the Presidents Cup has been held in odd-numbered years since. It reverted to even-numbered years after the 2020 Ryder Cup was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The next Presidents Cup will be held in 2026 at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, USA. This will be followed by the 2028 tournament at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia.
