The Presidents Cup

They played to a 17-17 tie in 2003 and the U.S. took the Cup in 2005, 18 1/2 to 15 1/2.

This year the teams are as evenly matched as they've ever been. The difference; Tiger Woods. I know, his Presidents Cup record is only 10-9-1, but he's not that far removed from his dominant year-end run in the FedEx Cup playoffs and should bring the U.S. 4 points.

First Day Foursomes prediction: U.S. 3 - Inter. 3

With the Matches going like this:

Match 1 - U.S.

Match 2 - International

Match 3 - Halved

Match 4 - Halved

Match 5 - International

Match 6 - U.S.

The best Matches:

Match 1 - Stricker/Mahan vs. Scott/Ogilvy -- three of the hottest players in Stricker, Mahan and Ogilvy.

Match 4 - Toms/Furyk vs. Els/Cabrera -- this should be a blow by blow grind to the end.
