Lowdown: Team USA squares up to the rest of the world, excluding Europe, this week for the 10th Presidents Cup matches at Muirfield Village in Ohio. The home side leads the series by 7.5-1.5.
First held in 1994, the Presidents Cup is contested by a team from the USA and an international side representing the rest of the world, outside of Europe. It is now second only to the Ryder Cup in terms of prestige when it comes to men's team events.
The competition features teams of 12, led by a non-playing captain. Each side has 10 players who have qualified for their spot in the side, and two captain's picks.
The International team is made up of the top 10 available international players on the Official World Golf Ranking as of 2nd September, plus two captain's picks. Price opted for Australia's Marc Leishman and Brendan de Jonge of Zimbabwe.
The competition takes place at Jack Nicklaus' course at Muirfield Village. It's the host venue for the PGA Tour's Memorial tournament so the majority of players this week will be very familiar with the layout.
Each Presidents Cup match features an honorary chairman - this time it's the 44th President of the USA Barack Obama.
Key Hole - 16th. A testing par-3 of 201 yards re-designed by Jack Nicklaus specifically for the Presidents Cup. A pond waits to the left of the green and three bunkers also protect the small green. Par will be a good score here and could be enough to win the hole. It's ranked as the hardest hole on the course in the last three Memorial tournaments.
