How To Watch Presidents Cup 2026: Live Streams & TV Details
Can the International side really pull off one of the greatest golfing upsets?
The International side needs to find just five points out of the 12 available in the Sunday singles matches to end their run of 10 consecutive Presidents Cup defeats. If they can, it would be only the Internationals’ second win in the event's history and the first away from home.

It is the first time on foreign soil, and only the fourth time ever, that the International Team has held the lead going into the singles of the Presidents Cup.
But only once before have they turned a lead at the start of the singles session into a Cup-winning performance – in 1998, when they led going into the singles by a massive 9 points. In 2003, the USA side clawed back a three-point deficit to tie the match and retain the cup. In 2019, USA overturned a two-point deficit to win the match 16-14.
The scale of the Internationals’ task is still huge. In every match today bar one, the USA player outguns their opponent in the Official World Golf Rankings, sometimes massively so.
For example the first match out is third-ranked Cam Young against 67th-ranked Ryo Hisatsune.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who lost his singles matches in his previous two appearances, is fourth out and against 61st-ranked Nico Echavarria.
In this guide, Golf Monthly brings you all the details on how to watch the Presidents Cup 2026 online, on TV, and from anywhere in the world.

Presidents Cup: Preview
The Presidents Cup is a biennial event that pits the best 12 players from the United States against the best dozen from the rest of the world outside of Europe.
Seven of the world’s top 10 ranked golfers are playing, headed by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, all of them on the US side.
In contrast, the highest-ranked players for the International team are 14th-ranked Si Woo Kim and 22nd-ranked Ryan Fox. New Zealander Fox, 39, and this year’s Open champion, is making his Cup debut, as is 38-year-old Canadian Nick Taylor.
Adam Scott is playing in his 12th Presidents Cup, which draws him level with Phil Mickelson for the most appearances.
Team USA has won 13 of the 15 Cups held and tied another. In seeking an 11th successive victory, the US team is looking to maintain its record of winning every home Presidents Cup.
Each side comprises six qualifiers and six captain’s picks. For the US side, qualification was based on weighted FedExCup points since January 2025. For the International side, automatic qualification was based on the Official World Golf Ranking.
