The U.S. has won every edition of the Presidents Cup since 1994, with the exception of 1998 when the Americans lost, and in 2003, when the two teams tied. Two-time U.S. captain Stacy Lewis brought up the idea of making the Presidents Cup a mixed event earlier this month at the Solheim Cup.

Over the last three Presidents Cups, there have been 11 International players who were outside the top 50 that week in the OWGR. Their combined match record is 12-19-5, a point average of 0.47. The bottom three Americans in OWGR in that span have a record of 9-11-11, a points per match rate of 0.65.

It can be hard to call the Presidents Cup a rivalry when one team keeps winning all the time. The International team is trying to avoid losing for a 10th straight time when it faces the Americans at Royal Montreal.
