For the eleventh time, Adam Scott is playing for the International Team in the Presidents Cup at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada. The Australian golfer's incredible achievement has earned him the praise and admiration of his teammates.

Golfers like Tom Kim, Jason Day, Min Woo Lee, and others from the International Team expressed their admiration for Scott's career and the positive impact he has on the team.

"He’s like a fine wine, right? It ages, and it gets kind of a little bit better," Byeong Hun An said.

The South Korean golfer expressed his deep admiration for Scott, calling him a special player who has had an unbelievable career. He said that words cannot not fully capture his feelings, but he expressed a strong desire to win the Presidents Cup for Scott, who has been a dedicated member of the International Team for many years without yet securing a victory.

The International Team captain, Mike Weir, praised Scott as a natural leader who brings a sense of calmness to the team. He described Scott as the internal leader, noting that golfers look up to him due to his vast experience and sensational skills.

Fellow Aussies Jason Day and Min Woo Lee also heaped praise on the 44-year-old golfer, saying that his passion is visible whenever he talks in the team room.

"In the team rooms, when you hear him talk, there's just so much passion behind, you know, a lot of his will to want to win one of these. He wants to win one so bad, you can sense it," Day said.
"For Australian golf, he's he's one of the best golfers that's come through, and he's a very good guy and makes me want to level up by my things on and off the field," Lee stated.

Adam Scott is representing the International Team for the 11th time. Unfortunately, he has yet to win the biennial event, as Team USA has dominated the Presidents Cup in every single edition since 1998.

The Presidents Cup, which began in 1994, has seen Team USA dominate with 12 victories. In contrast, the International Team has only managed one win in 1998 and a single tie in 2003.

Despite the International Team's historical struggles, the Australian golfer believes that with unity, the team can finally end the drought.

"The most important thing this week is the team putting it all together and getting a win. I know my time in this event is running out, so there's no better week than this one for the internationals to win," Scott said.
