The Presidents Cup returns this week at Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, North Carolina, going underway on Thursday, 22 Sept. at 1:05 pm ET. 24 of the PGA’s best golfers – 12 in the U.S. and 12 in the International Team (except Europe) – are taking part in this year’s competition. Here you can know the Presidents Cup 2022 teams and captains. Find out who’s playing right below.
Team U.S. leads the competition with an 11-1-1 record. Their last defeat dates back to 1998, and the draw came in 2003.
The fans hope for another nail-biting finish like the last Presidents Cup in 2019. Team US, captained by Tiger Woods, entered the final day of singles matches trailing by 8-10. They won six singles and tied four on the final day to take the title by 16-14 points.
Who’s Playing in the Presidents Cup 2022?
The Presidents Cup is a team competition between two teams – Team U.S. and Team International. Each team consists of 12 golfers.
It will be a 30-match competition, with a point for winning each match and a half-point point for a draw. The team that finishes with more points will win the Presidents Cup. There will be 9 foursomes matches, 9 four-balls matches, and 12 singles.
Davis Love III is the U.S. Captain. He has taken 6 players of his choice on the team. The other 6 U.S. players are who earned the most FedEx Cup points from 2019 to this year’s BMW Championship.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler headlines the U.S. Team. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are also among the top-ranked players. The U.S. will miss Will Zalatoris due to a back injury.
On the other hand, Trevor Immelman is the International Captain. The International Team will be without the golfers from Europe.
In the International team, 8 players were given automatic berths who earned the most points from the 2021 British Open to this year’s BMW Championship. But world no. 2 Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann are banned due to joining LIV Golf.
As a result, 6 players will get automatic berths based on points. Captain Trevor Immelman has chosen the other 6 players for the International team.
