U.S. Team Captain Fred Couples and International Team Captain Greg Norman are both major championship winners and both have played in The Presidents Cup during their stellar careers, which is a first for captains in The Presidents Cup history. They bring two strong teams to San Francisco. Fifteen of the top 25 ranked players make up the two 12-man teams. The U.S. Team is lead by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. The International Team is lead Ernie Els and Vijay Singh.

The U.S. Team has dominated the biennial competition, holding a 5-1-1 overall record. Two years ago in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the U.S. Team outlasted the International team 19 ½ -- 14 ½. But the International Team looks very strong heading to Harding Park for the event's first playing on the West Coast of the United States.

From the opening ceremony to the trophy presentation, The Presidents Cup Official Film will take fans inside the ropes for an exclusive look at of all the pageantry and competition that makes The Presidents Cup one of the premier team events in any sport. From the International Team's arrival to the captains' press conferences to the final celebration, fans will experience first hand why The Presidents Cup has set the standard for sportsmanship and competition.

The Presidents Cup, a team match play competition featuring 24 of the world's top golfers -- 12 from the United States and 12 from around the world, excluding Europe -- is held every two years, and since 1996 has alternated between United States and international venues. The Presidents Cup was developed to give the world's best non-European players an opportunity to compete in international team match-play competition. The U.S. Team has won five of the seven previous Presidents Cups, and the only outright win by the International Team came at the 1998 event in Melbourne. The 2003 Presidents Cup ended in a tie.
