COLUMBUS, Ohio – Today is the final day of practice before the President’s Cup tees off at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin.
The first event – six four-ball matches – begins at 11:45 Thursday morning.
The President’s Cup pits a team of the best U.S. golfers against one consisting of the best non-European international golfers.
Even though Jack Nicklaus has no official position, he remains a presence at the event.
The winner of a record 18 major championships is an unofficial host for this week’s biennial match-play competition and discussed his pride over the Nicklaus-designed Muirfield Village becoming the first course to host a Presidents Cup, Ryder Cup and a Solheim Cup, in addition to annually hosting the annual Memorial Tournament.
He also addressed the Presidents Cup format, the art of pairing players in matches, pressure on the International team to be competitive.
