As we know, Phil Mickelson has been participating in the Presidents Cup since its establishment in 1994. However, it is going to an end in December since the biannual Presidents Cup comes back to the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia.

Meanwhile, it was up to Tiger Woods in regard to the Mickelson role in the USA vs International Golf event. Woods had the right to select four more golfers for the 12-man squad. Woods is now no. 7 in the Official World Golf Ranking. This makes the respective golfer as the fifth-ranked golfer in the Presidents Cup.

The Presidents Cup will make the US team against the International team. All countries will be up against the US team. But this year, the US team is better on paper. Most of their members are ranked above the International team, except for no. 22 Matt Kuchar. So, it is fair that folks will favor the US

For the entire President Cup’s history, the International counterparts only managed to attain a single victory. It happened two decades ago. For the first time, Royal Melbourne was the witness of the four-day intense match. However, that was it. Since then, the US has been dominating the series, surfacing them as the victorious part. However, the winning is flawed by the 2003 records wherein the Presidents Cup had no winners. It was the first and the only tie in the cup history.

The 2019 Presidents Cup will happen between 9 to 15 December where Tiger Woods’ USA team will take Ernie Els’ Rest of the World side at Royal Melbourne, Australia. We have done witnessing the automatic qualification and see that the first eight players represent each site plus the four captain’s picks.

The Presidents Cup will involve the US team and the International team minus the Europe since they will come for Ryder Cup. Every two years, folks flock the city of event to root for their favorite golfers.

There are 30 matches in total that spans for four days of the competition time. Well, it will be rough and awesome at the same time since players from the top ranked sites have come to win their team.

Many people have been optimistic that the Team US will once again win the competition. Obviously, as we mentioned before, most of the members of the Team US are ranked above the international counterparts. That means, on paper, Team US should not be struggling to overcome the barriers to win the competition.

There is no prize money awarded for the Presidents Cup. All of the money will go to the charities. In 12 Presidents Cup Events, Team US has won 10 of them. The International Team has won 1. Meanwhile, a single match was tied.

Again, on Paper, team US will dominate this charity event. One reason is that Phil Mickelson holds the record for the most points with 32.5 won. He also has the most foursome points and four ball points. Then Team US have Tiger Woods who has scored the most singles points in history with six won. Not to mention that the other players who are ranked above most of the players in the International team. If you are supporting the team US, you shouldn’t worry too much.

Presidents Cup 2019 – Tiger Woods to be the Captain of the US Team

October 26, 2019 by Floyd Neal Leave a Comment

Tiger Woods announced his interest to be playing as the captain at the upcoming big event entitled as 2019 Presidents Cup in Australia. The spectacular event will happen from December 9 to December 15, 2019. It is still 1 month away until the Presidents Cup 2019 happening, but it has never been too early to discuss it.

tiger woods presidents cup 2019

Since the announcement, he has been participating in several significant events before winning the 80th PGA TOUR title at the TOUR Championship. The Presidents Cup had not seen a playing captain since the Inaugural event 1994 when Hale Irwin juggled the duties.

Tiger Woods made a light conversation about the possibility of him being the captain of team USA. In the charity event at Pebble Beach, he then emphasized his interest in being the captain for the prestigious event that will happen the next year. Then he delivered a stronger message. At that point, folks believe that he has been severe on playing to be the captain.

He would be asking the captain for a pick. The good news for Woods fans that he will be performing his duty as captain for the US at Royal Melbourne in the next year. FYI, it is going to be his debut for the US team.

Back then many people were skeptical about Woods return to the golfing world. He had been struggling to overcome his multiple back surgeries in recent years. He has been doing the vice-captain role at the Ryder Cup. He admitted that his achievement in the competitive tournament was unexpected. He played well enough to receive the captain’s pick from Jim Furyk.

Woods have a not-so-good record in the Le Golf National. However, he has an impressive record in the Presidents Cup, which is 24-15-1. The officials appointed Woods to be the captain of the US Presidents Cup on March 13. That was simultaneous with the announcement of Ernie Els name which emerged as the International Team captain. Woods was in the 44th in the standings for the US team. However, we must pay attention to the final qualifying event for the US that will be happening in the 2019 TOUR Championship. At this point, Woods will be the defending champ. The 2019 Presidents Cup have met Woods and Els. Both discussed the format of the competition and agreed to make some small changes in its format. Now the players only need to play one team session before Sunday singles.

This small tweak makes a huge difference for Woods and his team. The change would give the leverage for Woods to have more chances to sit himself out to perform the captain duties. It will be a challenge if he is the part of the team. When the officials asked about this matter, Woods was not sure whether he was going to pick himself if he was not one of the eight qualifiers in the team. We also don’t know what is the consequence if he made the pick by himself.

Either way, Woods has become the captain of the US Team. Let’s root for him.
