US Team Erases 3-Point Deficit to Win Presidents Cup 17-13 in Historic Sunday Rally

The United States defeated the International team 17-13 at the 2026 Presidents Cup, completing a historic comeback after trailing by three points heading into Sunday. The Americans won 9.5 of the final 12 singles matches, a record performance that extended their winning streak to 11 consecutive titles. Captain Brandt Snedeker’s decision to rest World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler on Saturday drew criticism, but the US team’s superior depth, highlighted by rookie Jackson Koivun’s undefeated run, proved decisive. While the victory secured the cup, analysts noted the result offered little optimism for the 2027 Ryder Cup, as the Internationals collapsed under pressure despite a strong start.
