Template:Infobox Presidents Cup Lua error in Module:Location_map at line 526: Unable to find the specified location map definition: "Module:Location map/data/USA relief" does not exist. The 2013 Presidents Cup Matches will be played from October 3–6 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb north of Columbus. It will be the tenth Presidents Cup competition and the sixth played in the United States.
The selection of Muirfield as the 2013 tournament site was taken as a tribute to golfing great Jack Nicklaus, who designed the course. Nicklaus has said that his involvement as tournament host for the 2013 Presidents Cup "probably will be my last involvement in anything significant in the game of golf".[1] Muirfield will be the third U.S. course to host the tournament, and the first course in the world to host Presidents Cup, Ryder Cup, and Solheim Cup international team competitions.[2][3]
In May 2012, Fred Couples and Nick Price were named captains of the U.S. and International teams, respectively.[4][5]
Format
The first day consists of six matches of fourball. The second day consists of six matches of foursomes. The third day consists of five matches of fourball in the morning and five matches of foursomes in the afternoon. On the fourth and final day, twelve singles matches were played. 34 matches were played in all. All fourball and foursomes matches that are all-square after 18 holes will score ½ point for each team. All singles matches that are all-square after 18 holes will continue until a winner is determined.[6] The fourball matches being played first is a change from the previous seven Cups.[7]
Teams
Both teams have 12 players plus a non-playing captain. The United States Team will feature the top 10 in earnings from September 19, 2011 through September 2, 2013 (the Deutsche Bank Championship) with 2013 earnings weighted double and two captain's picks.[8] The International Team will feature the top 10 in the Official World Golf Ranking as of September 2, 2013 and two captain's picks.[9] The captain's picks were announced on September 4, 2013.[10]
