The Americans lost only one Presidents Cup since the matches against an International (non-European countries) began in 1994. Tiger Woods was the playing captain when it won last year at Royal Melbourne.

The Presidents Cup was pushed back a year to 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic. It will be held at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina, followed by Royal Montreal in 2024.

Woods won the PGA Championship twice at Medinah, in 1999 and 2006. The course hosted the U.S. Open three times, most recently in 1990 when 45-year-old Hale Irwin became the oldest U.S. Open winner.
