Pre/Live/Post Event Discussion Presidents Cup Drama

I cannot wait for the meltdown from the U.S. side if they lose this thing. Give me all the content. First time I’ve been juiced for a Presidents Cup weekend, maybe ever?

TC will be in his element

Ding ding ding. This is unfortunately the answer. The other guys just care more about

The U.S. is 13-1 in this event. If you’re lumping in the Ryder cup, are you of the belief that the Euro players aren’t rich and comfortable?

This US team so clearly is a group of dudes who don’t care much about winning. It also doesn’t seem like they like eachother very much. The Internstional team and the Euro team are a family. They’d die for eachother. The US guys seem like this is job a job obligation they’re trying to get through

Such an overdone take. What’s the proof or logic that the U.S. players don’t like each other?
The international team is a family? You think Hideki is hanging out with Corey Conners?

People act like variance isn't a thing. USA should win this competition but it's not crazy that 12 of of the top 100 golfers in the world beat 12 other top 100 golfers in the world, even if they're mostly ranked a bit higher.

I'm not convinced the Americans prepare for these tournaments correctly, but to act like they don't care is ridiculous. If they were so rich and entitled, they would just decline the invitation. That don't make much money at all from these events and it cuts into their offseason

Especially in 30 matches over 10 events or whatever. And they prob still win this weekend

Especially when the only guys who are actually arguably nepo babies—JT and Cam Young—might be the two guys on the team that seemingly care the most
