The Presidents Cup is a series of men’s golf matches between a team representing the United States and an International Team representing the rest of the world minus Europe. Europe competes against the United States in a similar but considerably older event, the Ryder Cup. The Presidents Cup has been held biennially since 1994.
Initially it was held in even numbered years, with the Ryder Cup being held in odd numbered years. The scoring system of the event is match play. The format is drawn from the Ryder Cup and consists of 12 players per side. There have been frequent small changes to the format, although the final day has always consisted of 12 singles matches.
The contest was extended from three days to four in 2000. In 2015, there were a total of 9 foursome doubles matches, 9 fourball doubles matches, and 12 singles matches. With a total of 30 points, a team needed to get 15. 5 points to win the Cup. Until the 2005 event, prior to the start of the final day matches, the captains selected one player to play in a tie-breaker in the event of a tie at the end of the final match. Upon a tie, the captains would reveal the players who would play a sudden-death match to determine the winner.
In 2003, however, the tiebreaker match ended after three holes because of darkness, and the captains, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, agreed that the Cup would be shared by both teams. From 2005 to 2013, singles matches ending level at the end of the regulation 18 holes were to be extended to extra holes until the match was won outright. All singles matches would continue in this format until one team reaches the required point total to win the Presidents Cup. Remaining singles matches were only to be played to the regulation 18 holes and could be halved. The event was created and is organized by the PGA Tour. Each contest has an Honorary Chairman. These have been 1994: Gerald Ford, 38th United States President, 1996: George H.

In match play the winner is the player, or team, with the most points at the end of play. The International, a former PGA Tour event, used a modified Stableford system.
Unlike stroke play, in which the unit of scoring is the total number of strokes taken over one or more rounds of golf, match play scoring consists of individual holes won, halved or lost. On each hole, the most that can be gained is one point. Golfers play as normal, counting the strokes taken on a given hole. The golfer with the lowest score on a given hole receives one point. If the golfers tie, then the hole is halved. Player A at that point is a tie, unless the format calls for extra holes to determine a winner. In the Ryder Cup and other similar team events, the match is not finished this way, and the teams each receive a half point.
