In this year’s Presidents Cup golf tournament, the international team lost again to the United States, but the Korean players, who formed the mainstay of the international team, shone.
The Presidents Cup, which ended on 26 (Korean time) in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, ended with a win of 17.5-12.5 for the United States.
The Presidents Cup, a men’s golf competition between the United States and the international team, resulted in a record of 12 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, continuing the overwhelming dominance of the United States.
The United States recently won nine straight wins and eight of their home games and continued their unbeaten streak from the 1998 Australian Games.
As the men’s golf competition between the United States and Europe, the two men’s golf mountain ranges of the world, is held separately like the Ryder Cup, European players do not participate in the Presidents Cup international team.
As a result, evaluations continued to follow that the Presidents Cup was a tournament with a structure where power imbalance was inevitable.
This year’s tournament was attended by 4 Korean players out of 12 players from international teams, attracting the attention of national fans.
Im Seong-jae (24) and Kim Joo-hyeong (20) won the qualification alone, while Lee Kyung-hoon (31) and Kim Si-woo (27) joined on the manager’s recommendation.
