The 15th edition of the Presidents Cup tees off this week on the famed Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Canada. At the last competition in 2022 at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina, the U.S. team defeated the International team 17.5-12.5. With all the money being thrown around in golf these days, surprisingly, there is no money at stake for the winners. Instead, the net proceeds are distributed to charities nominated by the players, captains, and captains’ assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Royal Montreal Golf Club is the oldest in North America, and the oldest in continuous existence, celebrating 150 years in 2023. Golf in Canada began earlier than in the USA due to Canada attracting the first Scottish immigrants. Royal Montreal\u2019s origin in 1873 can be traced back to a small group of eight Scots who recreated their national sport and founded the club. The course is located an hour west of Montreal center on the Ile Bizard which is bracketed by the Prairies River and the Lake of Two Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a closing stretch built for match-play drama, the Blue Course features picturesque North American parkland golf with narrow, tree-lined fairways and six holes with water danger. It has an ideal mixture of scoreable and difficult holes. Host to numerous Canadian Open championships, most recently in 2014, Royal Montreal is quite rightly proud of its heritage and the club also hosted the Presidents Cup in 2007 when the USA beat the International team by a margin of 19.5 to 14.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
