Team USA are heavy favourites, having won the last 10 editions with the series at 13-1-1. The International Team’s only win came in 1998. A tie is still live on the board, though: the 2003 edition finished level and the Cup was shared. Follow TipsGG for more Presidents Cup previews and betting options.
