The International team enters the 2024 Presidents Cup with renewed determination to end their nine-match losing streak against the United States. Captain Mike Weir emphasizes focusing on the present, building on the team's rebranding efforts initiated by Ernie Els in 20191. The team's identity has evolved, with young players like Tom Kim and Min Woo Lee growing up aspiring to compete under the International shield2.

Despite the challenging history, the International side remains optimistic. Adam Scott believes a victory could transform the perception of the event, stating, "If we can get across the line and win, I think it's going to change the whole perception of the tournament"2. The team's strategy includes leveraging home-field advantage at Royal Montreal and potentially unleashing "secret weapons" like Min Woo Lee to upset the favored American squad2.

Adam Scott's Presidents Cup journey spans over two decades, making him one of the most experienced players in the event's history. With 10 appearances under his belt, Scott is second only to Phil Mickelson's 12 in the competition's history1. Despite his extensive participation, Scott has never been on a winning International team, a fact that weighs heavily on the 44-year-old Australian21.

Scott's determination to secure a victory for the International team is palpable. He views this year's event as potentially his last chance to change the narrative, stating, "I'm uncertain how many more chances I'll have, if any. So, this week is significant for me."2 His commitment to the cause is evident in his recent form, with strong performances in the Scottish Open, The Open, BMW Championship, and Tour Championship, showcasing his readiness for the challenge ahead1. Scott's leadership and experience will be crucial as the International team seeks to end their nine-match losing streak against a formidable U.S. squad1.

Adam Scott's veteran presence is expected to play a crucial role for the International team at the 2024 Presidents Cup. As one of the most experienced players on the squad, Scott brings valuable leadership and knowledge to a team looking to end the U.S. dominance in the event. International team captain Mike Weir has emphasized the importance of Scott's experience, stating, "I lean on my assistants as well, lean on my gut on certain things when we're maybe on the fence, but it's very important."1

Scott's leadership will be complemented by other veteran players, creating a balanced team dynamic:

• Scott has played in 49 matches over 10 previous Presidents Cups, providing a wealth of experience to draw from2

• His pairing with young talent Min Woo Lee in the four-ball matches showcases the blend of experience and youth on the team3

• The veteran core, including players like Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im, will be crucial in guiding the team's four Presidents Cup rookies13
