American’s Dominating Past Presidents Cup’s
Since the first edition of the Presidents Cup in 1994, the U.S. team has gone 13-1-1 and has won the last 10. The only International Team win came in 1988 where they won 20.5 to 11.5 at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia. The teams tied 17-17 at Fancourt in South Africa in 2003.
The International Team’s 1988 nine-point victory is tied for the largest winning margin with the USA’s 2000 win of 21.5-12.5. The thinnest victory margin is just one point by the U.S. in 1996 (16.5-15.5) and 2015 (15.5-14.5).
The format changed to a 30-point target score in 2015. Since then, the U.S. has won the last five with three coming by at least five points. The Presidents Cup continues until September 27.
