The scene is set for what is expected to be an epic battle between Team USA and Team Internationals at this year's Presidents Cup that is to be played at the Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey, USA.


Captained by Steve Stricker, defending Champions team USA have a formidable 12-man line-up representing the Star-Spangled Banner including the likes of Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas and Ricky Fowler who make up 4 of the current top 10 best players in the world.

The Internationals in their turn is captained by Zimbabwean golfing legend Nick Price for the 3rd consecutive time and includes 3 South Africans out of the team of 12, namely Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace, while world number 3, Hideki Matsuyama, will also be applying his trade for the Internationals.

"Ten out of ten for the golf course, it is in immaculate condition and there is very little that will top it," says internationals captain Nick Price.

Price will be assisted as internationals captain by South African golfing legend, Ernie Els, as well as Tony Johnstone, Geoff Ogilvy and Mike Weir when round 1 of the 2017 Presidents Cup gets under way tomorrow.
