How Does the Presidents Cup Format Work?
Unlike a normal PGA Tour tournament, the Presidents Cup is a match-play team competition.
There are three main formats:
Four-ball
Two players from each team form a pair.
Each golfer plays their own ball, and the lowest score recorded by either teammate counts for the team on each hole.
The team that wins more holes wins the match.
Foursomes
Foursomes is also known as alternate shot.
Two teammates share one ball and alternate shots throughout the hole. The team with the lower score on the hole wins that hole.
Singles
Sunday is dedicated to singles matches.
Each player competes individually against one player from the opposing team.
Every match is worth one point.
A tied match after 18 holes gives each team 0.5 points. There are no playoffs for tied matches.
How Many Points Are Needed to Win the Presidents Cup?
There are 30 total points available during the Presidents Cup.
A team needs 15.5 points to win outright.
If the competition finishes 15–15, the Presidents Cup is shared between the two teams.
That makes Sunday's 12 singles matches especially important because a maximum of 12 points remains available.

Golf fans in the United States can watch the final day of the Presidents Cup through NBC and Peacock.

Presidents Cup 2026: What Happens If the Match Ends 15–15?
If neither team reaches 15.5 points and the final score is 15–15, the Presidents Cup is considered a tie and the teams share the Cup.
There is no playoff to determine an outright winner.
With the International Team starting Sunday at 10.5 points, the situation is straightforward:
International gets 5 points: reaches 15.5 and wins.
USA gets 8 points: reaches 15.5 and wins.
Both teams combine for 4.5 points: final score is 15–15 and the Cup is shared.
Why the 2026 Presidents Cup Is Important
The 2026 edition has attracted significant attention because of the International Team's position heading into the final day.
The United States has historically dominated the Presidents Cup, while the International Team has won only once, in 1998. The International side therefore enters Sunday's singles session with a chance to make a major mark on the competition's history.
The final day also features several high-profile individual matchups, including Scottie Scheffler against Nico Echavarria, Hideki Matsuyama against Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele against Ryan Fox.
