This time, an exciting line-up of world class golfers will grace the course. The competition is expected to be nothing short of thrilling and edge-of-the-seat as the best of the best battle it out on the greens.

Davis Love will captain the United States, with Fred Couples and Zach Johnson assisting him. Love announced that Steve Stricker and Webb Simpson will be his assistant captains.

The United States team is a mixed bag of President Cup rookies and former winners. It's a power-packed bunch including Tokyo Olympics gold medallist Xander Schauffele and former World No.1 Justing Thomas among others. However, last year's captain, the legendary Tiger Woods will be conspicuous by his absence.

It remains to be seen if the United States can defend their title and extend their all-time series lead of 11-1-1.
