The US team arrived in Montreal for this week's prestigious Presidents Cup. The most anticipated team event of the year will take place at the Royal Montreal Golf Club this week between the International and USA teams.
Team USA has arrived at the venue to start their practice round and the official social media page of the Presidents Cup has shared a few pictures of the team players including Scottie Scheffler, Sahith Theegala, and others. The team took up the practice session as they arrived at the golf course, donning matching blue t-shirts.
The Presidents Cup shared a few pictures on its X (formerly Twitter) account, writing:
"Your first look at the U.S. Team at Royal Montreal. Premier aperçu de l’équipe des États-Unis au Royal Montréal."
Team USA holds significant dominance at the Presidents Cup with a marvelous record of 14-1-1. They have only lost a single edition of the biennial tournament in 1998 and will tee off this week to defend their title.
The tournament will take place at Royal Montreal Golf Club from Thursday, September 26 to Sunday, September 29. However, players have arrived at the venue to begin their practice.
