The Presidents Cup finale is here, and it should be epic. The Americans and Internationals will play singles to decide a winner.

Welcome to Playing Through’s daily ritual — Golf Talk Today.

Each day, the crew will discuss various elements of the PGA Tour, LPGA, LIV Golf, and more.

The final day of the Presidents Cup is here, and the current score is Team USA 11, International Team 7.

Saturday proved to be a battle as both teams fought hard for points. However, the Americans won both sessions 3-1.

After losing all five matches on Friday, it was clear Team USA was not about to give up and let the Internationals gain more confidence.

However, despite giving up six points on Day 3, the Internationals should feel very strongly about their performance. They are still in this competition, so Sunday’s head-to-head matches will be epic.

Si Woo Kim is an icon for the Internationals and should put on a show. However, he will take on Keegan Bradley, who is trying to prove a point for the future Ryder Cup.

These matchups are incredible. Both captains set this up as one fantastic finale for the 2024 Presidents Cup. This year’s event has already been one of the best recent Cups, so it is only fitting to think Sunday will only add to this year’s lore.

No one should count out the Internationals because they are coming for blood. However, this American team is incredibly talented and playing their own balls, which could make it harder for Mike Weir’s squad.

The Internationals went winless on Thursday, which caused them to go on their own tear on Friday. Then, claiming just two points on Day 3 to give the Americans a four-point lead should light a massive fire under their tails. If Friday showed us anything, they could come out and shock the Americans and win their second Presidents Cup.

That is why Sunday’s matches will be spectacular — they will be so competitive, depending on who wants it most. Today’s golf reminds me of a massive college football rivalry, and it will be exciting to see if home-field advantage will be their “12th man.”

Let’s have a day and see who comes out on top.
