What happens if the Presidents Cup ends in a tie?
The International team led 10 1/2 to 7 1/2 over the U.S. heading into Sunday's final singles matches at Medinah but the scoreboard is trending toward the possibility of a 15-15 tie.
Should the Presidents Cup finish with a 15-15 tie, both the American and International teams will share the prestigious trophy. This outcome has occurred once before, in 2003, when Jack Nicklaus' U.S. side secured 17 points, matching Gary Player's International team at the Links Course in South Africa. The tie was settled then as it is now, with both teams receiving equal credit for the championship. The Americans must triumph in eight of the 12 singles matches to avoid this outcome.
