2024 Presidents Cup odds: Predictions, picks and how to watch golf event
The United States has lost the Presidents Cup just once in 30 years, so betting against the Americans when they face an international team in this once-every-two-year team golf event has historically been a losing proposition. The rosters at the 2024 Presidents Cup, at least based on the current world golf rankings, suggest more of the same beginning Thursday at the the Royal Montreal Golf Club outside Montreal, Canada.
All 12 members of the U.S. team, captained by Jim Furyk, are ranked in the top 25 entering this event, including Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele. This year's International Team, which can feature golfers from all over the world except Europe, has three members currently ranked in the top 25.
The betting markets at BetMGM reflect this history and these dynamics, but strange things can happen on a golf course.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the 2024 Presidents Cup, including odds, predictions and how to watch the action Thursday through Sunday:

Kyle Porter, CBS Sports: United States, 16-14
"I actually want to pick the International team because I don't love the makeup of this U.S. team, but I think the Americans' talent will overwhelm them in the end and that the U.S. will win its 10th consecutive Presidents Cup."
Matthew Gannon, Action Network: Pick U.S. team to win (-250)
"The gap between these two sides is perhaps as wide as ever, considering the current state of both Scottie Scheffler’s and Xander Schauffele’s play this season. They posted two of the best analytical seasons of the modern era, but the Americans aren’t only top-heavy, as you could argue that the U.S. has five or six players better than the International team's top guy.
Sports Illustrated: There's value in picking Internationals
"The International Team has a solid roster and there's an argument to be made that the bottom third of their lineup has been in better form than Team USA. ... Based on where the betting odds currently sit, the value may just lie with the International Team winning for the first time since they pulled off the improbable victory at Royal Melbourne in 1998.
