The Presidents Cup takes place this week at Royal Montreal, featuring a matchup between the U.S. Team and the International Team. Historically, the United States has dominated the event, with their last loss to the International Team occurring in 1998.
With 30 matches, it will take 15.5 points to win the Cup (each match is worth one point; there are no playoffs, with each team receiving a half-point for matches tied after 18). The teams will share the Cup if the matches end in a 15-15 tie.
In 2019, a minor format change was implemented, stating each player shall only be required to play a minimum of one match before the Sunday Singles matches. This was a change from previous years when players were required to compete in two matches before Singles matches.
Course/ Event History:
The Royal Montreal Golf Club, founded in 1873, is the oldest golf club in North America. Located in Île-Bizard, a suburb of Montreal, Quebec, the club was established by Scottish immigrants, who brought their love of the sport to Canada. Originally, the course was located on Fletcher’s Field near Mount Royal, but it moved several times before settling in its current location in 1959.
Royal Montreal Golf Club has a rich history, including being one of the founding members of the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1895, which later became Golf Canada. The club has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including the Canadian Open on multiple occasions, as well as the Presidents Cup in 2007.
The course itself is comprised of three 18-hole courses: the Blue, Red, and Dixie courses, with the Blue Course being the most famous. The Blue Course was designed by the renowned golf architect Dick Wilson and is known for its challenging layout and strategic demands. Over the years, Royal Montreal has earned a reputation as one of the most respected and storied golf clubs in the world.
The Presidents Cup began in 1994 as an initiative by the PGA Tour to create a new international team competition, complementing the Ryder Cup, which only involved U.S. and European players. The idea was to provide a similar platform for golfers from the rest of the world, excluding Europe, to compete in a team-based format. The inaugural tournament was held at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia, where the U.S. team, captained by Hale Irwin, defeated the International team led by David Graham.
Unlike other major golf tournaments, the Presidents Cup is unique in that it does not offer prize money to the participants. Instead, the proceeds are donated to charitable causes, chosen by the players, captains, and PGA Tour.

The United States dominated the last Presidents Cup, winning 17.5 to 12.5, but I don’t think the outcome is as certain this time. While the U.S. team may appear stronger on paper, I expect the experienced International Team to put up a formidable fight.

Texans vs Vikings +1 O/U 46
This is one of those over-reaction situations that sports bettors love. The Texans are a smooth 2-0, which is right exactly where the Vikings are in this league of huge parity. Houston took care of two mediocre teams at the Colts as well as at home against the Bears. The Vikings went to New York and took care of a terrible Giants team and then they beat a great 49ers team at home. Now one thing that isn’t being discussed quite enough is the fact that the Vikings and Sam Darnold was in a huge revenge spot against his old team. The yardage was just about equal, but if you take away that somewhat lucky 99 yard pass to Justin Jefferson, the game would have been a heck of a lot different. Brock Purdy also played bad that game while his team sustained some big injuries. There is too much love for the Vikings in a huge let down spot. Everyone is talking about how the Texans lost Joe Mixon at running back, I do not think that RBs really factor much into the line minus Christian McCaffery. Not enough people are talking about the fact that the Vikings lost outside linebacker Dallas Turner and inside linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. My power ratings still have the Texans as a pretty big favorite. They have the better quarterback, better skill positions minus running back, and the better defense. Take the Texans in a big let down spot for Minnesota.
Texans -1 -120 – 3 stars
Teaser: Chargers to +8.5 with the Bengals to -1.5 – 3 stars
