Captain Woods 🐅

Tiger becomes only the second-ever playing captain in Presidents Cup history and will be the center of attention both on and off the course.

Reed fallout

Fans in Australia will certainly be all over Reed after his antics last week. Will he embrace the villain role and go full-Captain American? Or will his presence be a distraction too large to overcome for Team USA?

I hope the crowd absolutely gives it to not only him, but everyone (on the American team).

Australia's Cam Smith hopes fans let Reed hear it.

Fresh faces 🇺🇸

Cantlay, Schauffele, and Woodland make their debuts for USA. How these future stalwarts perform in team competition will intrigue American supporters, especially after last year’s brutal Ryder Cup loss.

Young blood 👶

Joaquin Niemann and Sungjae Im are the most notable rookies to watch on the youngest-ever International side. These 21-year-olds have the talent to win key matches against tough American opponents and make this competition closer than people think.

Royal Melbourne 😍

Royal Melbourne is rarely played by the world’s best, despite being a top course on the planet. The Alister MacKenzie design will test every facet of a player's game. Viewers should relish the opportunity to witness the links' excellence.
