There may have been times throughout the week when the 2024 President's Cup looked like it was in doubt for the United States, but Sunday was not one of those times. The Americans birdied 15 of their first 31 holes in Sunday singles matches at Royal Montreal Golf Club ultimately cruising to a 10th consecutive victory at the event. The U.S. won 18.5 to 11.5 over the Internationals claiming the most decisive victory for an away team in Presidents Cup history and the largest for either side since 2017.
Xander Schauffele started the wave of red, white and blue with a 4 & 3 rout of Jason Day to win the first point of the day, and the United States' momentum never subsided. Ultimately, it was Keegan Bradley -- yes, 2025 Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley -- who scored the event-clinching point by winning 1 UP over Si Woo Kim to secure the President's Cup.
There was little drama outside of a short, small uprising about halfway through the day in which the International team looked like it could make the competition interesting. It started earning half points instead of full ones, though, as Bradley and Co. just kept rolling.
Let's take a look at the complete scoreboard from Sunday and dive into some of the higher-profile matches.
Xander Schauffele (United States) wins 4 & 3 over Jason Day (International): Schaffuele, the No. 2 player in the world, capped a 4-1-0 week with this crucial early win. He made four birdies through his first 13 holes on Sunday and, at 8.55 strokes gained (per Data Golf), stood as the best player in the field this week. That fits what we saw across all five matches he played as Schauffele, a two-time major champion this year, proved to be the straw that stirred the drink for the Americans.
Sam Burns (United States) halves with Tom Kim (International): This match was electric late as these two were a combined 4 under with five birdies over the final six holes. Both hit it to 4 feet or less on No. 17 and both made birdie before they rounded things out with pars on 18 to halve the match. The problem for the International team is that the Americans could easily halve their way to winning the event while the Internationals needed full points.
Hideki Matsuyama (International) wins 1 UP over Scottie Scheffler (United States): Scheffler, the world No. 1, chipped in on the first hole and birdied the second. It looked as if one Masters champion was going to light up another one. However, Matsuyama birdied seven of the last 12 holes and flipped the match on the 14th before closing out a big point for the International side.
Russell Henley (United States) wins 3 & 2 over Sungjae Im (International): Henley touched off a massive week for him with an easy vicotry over Im, who like on Day 1, struggled to find any birdies. This was not the best match on the course as it ended, somewhat fittingly, with an Im bogey on the 16th hole as Henley pushed the U.S. side to 13.5 points, within two of the title.
Corey Conners (International) wins 5 & 3 over Tony Finau (United States): Conners blasted Finau, who was terrible throughout this round. Finau took an early lead with a birdie at the second but made three bogeys in the middle of his round to lose three consecutive holes. He did not make a single birdie the rest of the way. Conners closed him with four birdies in his last six holes to win big over one of America's more consistent team event players.
Patrick Cantlay (United States) wins 3 & 1 over Taylor Pendrith (International): This was a tremendous match between Pendrith and probably America's second-best player this week. Both players birdied the first hole, and there were 12 birdies between the pair over the course of 17 holes. Cantlay narrowly finished second in the field in total strokes gained on the week behind only alternate shot partner Schauffele, of course.
Keegan Bradley (United States) wins 1 UP over Si Woo Kim (International): Bradley said after his round that he thought about how his match was the one that lost the Ryder Cup in 2014, a full 10 years ago. He was proud that he got go clinch a team event this time around. The crazy part is that Bradley is going to be the captain of next year's U.S. Ryder Cup team, which will try and take the trophy back from the European side. It seems unlikely that he'll be on that team as a player as well, and he acknowledged that in an emotional post-round interview.
"The last time I played, I was the point to lose the Ryder Cup," Bradley said. "If this is my last run as a player [in team events] -- maybe it is -- then I'm happy with that."

The Presidents Cup returns to Canada and The Royal Montreal Golf Club with a hungry International Team, led by Canadian Mike Weir as team captain, looking to defeat an American side full of the PGA TOUR’s best, including FedExCup champion Scottie Scheffler.
This marks the 15th playing of the Presidents Cup, which returns to Royal Montreal for the first time since 2007 when the U.S. Team beat the Internationals 19.5-14.5.
Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s competition.
U.S. Team:
International Team:
Course: The Royal Montreal Golf Club, par 70, 7,279 yards (yardage subject to change). The club, on Île Bizard about 35 minutes from downtown Montreal, lays claim as being the oldest club in North America. Founded in 1873, the course – which has moved locations twice – has been home to the RBC Canadian Open 10 times, most recently in 2014. Royal Montreal was renovated by Rees Jones in 2004 (a robust effort that included redesigning 17 greens and rebuilding 70 bunkers) and then again leading into this year’s Presidents Cup by PGA TOUR design services. That team lengthened it by about 300 yards and reworked a few bunkers. The front nine has a classic parkland feel while the back nine boasts water hazards on six holes including the final five in a row.
Storylines: The Presidents Cup features four days of competition with five matches on both Thursday and Friday, eight matches on Saturday (morning and afternoon) and 12 singles matches on Sunday … The U.S. Team is looking to win the Presidents Cup for the 10th time in a row … World No. 1 Scheffler returns to action after capturing the TOUR Championship and winning the FedExCup for the first time … Matsuyama, a two-time winner this season, is the International side’s top-ranked player … International Team Captain Weir picked three countrymen to represent the International Team at Royal Montreal: fellow Canadians Conners, Pendrith and first-timer Hughes. Pendrith was the lone Canadian to make it to the TOUR Championship after his maiden victory earlier in the year. Weir defeated Tiger Woods in 2007 in Sunday Singles the last time the Presidents Cup was at Royal Montreal ... Bradley was picked by Captain Furyk to play on the team and will no longer be one of Furyk’s captain's assistants (he was replaced by Brandt Snedeker) … Day returns to the Presidents Cup for the first time since 2017. He was a captain’s pick for the International Team in 2019 when it was in Australia but withdrew due to injury … Scott, making his 11th Presidents Cup start, has played 49 matches in his Presidents Cup career … Homa was a sparkplug for the U.S. Team in 2022, going 4-0-0. He is the only player on either side who has played in at least one Presidents Cup and has not suffered a loss … There are six Presidents Cup rookies this year (four on the U.S. Team and two on the International side) … Medinah Country Club near Chicago will host the Presidents Cup in 2026 while Kingston Heath Golf Club in Australia will host in 2028 … Justin Trudeau, who has been Canada’s 23rd Prime Minister since 2015, has accepted an invitation to be the Honorary Chairman.
Last time: The U.S. won 17.5-12.5 at long-time PGA TOUR stop Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina. The Americans started hot, going 4-1 on the first day, and never looked back. They went 4-1 again on Friday’s second day before the International Team staged a bit of a comeback Saturday, going 5-3 across the eight matches. Schauffele beat Conners 1-up in Singles to clinch it. Jordan Spieth was the biggest points-getter on either side, going 4-0-0. Im and Sebastian Muñoz were top performers for the Internationals with 2.5 points each.
