The 2022 Presidents Cup tees off on Thursday, Sept. 22 as a 12-man USA team faces off against a dozen golfers from all around the world at Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina.
The four-day tournament includes four-ball and foursome formats over the first three days, which involve two teams of two facing off in head-to-head matches. The final day is made up of 12 singles matches.
The lineups for Thursday's foursome matches will be determined at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Sept. 21. The lineups for each day will be decided the day before, with the exception of Saturday afternoon's matches, which will be determined Saturday morning.
The captains of each team get to choose the lineups for each day in a snake-style draft format, meaning that the US captain (Davis Love III) will choose his first foursome duo first, and the international captain (Trevor Immelman) will choose the two golfers who will compete against the Americans in the first match, and then immediately choose the next two for the second match.
You can see how the whole thing works here, as both captains and their teams make their picks right in the media room before Thursday's opening day foursomes.
