The Presidents Cup lacks the allure of the Ryder Cup and that’s due in part to the dominance of the US team, who are bidding for a 10th straight win in the matchplay clash, which starts at Canada’s Royal Montreal Golf Club on Thursday.
American captain Jim Furyk will send out a team with an average world ranking of 12.4 while Canada’s Mike Weir, who will lead an International team of players from outside of the US and Europe, can only counter with a 12-man squad with an average ranking of 34.4. LIV golfers are unable to participate, which weakens the Internationals more than the USA – the absence of Cameron Smith, Joaquin Niemann, Louis Oosthuizen and potentially a few others will be keenly felt by captain Weir. Let’s break down our Presidents Cup best bets and expert golf picks for this week.
Presidents Cup golf picks and predictions
USA to win by 4-6 points (+375)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
The Internationals have come closest to upsetting the Americans in ‘home’ Presidents Cups but conditions in Montreal are more familiar for Furyk’s team and the winning score could closely resemble the 2022 match at Quail Hollow, which USA won 17.5-12.5. The Americans, with superstars Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele spearheading their challenge, look an excellent bet to win the 30-point competition by a margin of 4-6 points.

Tom Kim top International points scorer (+750)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook and Bet365 at time of publishing.
The best top point-scorer wager could be Tom Kim, who relished his Presidents Cup debut in 2022, winning 2 points in 2 Saturday matches and pushing Max Homa to the final hole in a thrilling Sunday singles battle. The South Korean, 4th at the Canadian Open, 2nd at the Travelers Championship and 8th at the Olympics in recent months, should enjoy Royal Montreal, a tree-lined parkland layout which plays to his strengths.
