‘It got a little feisty’: Team USA powers to 10th straight Presidents Cup after swearing accusation controversy

Team USA secured its 10th consecutive Presidents Cup victory, overcoming a resilient International Team in a competitive and dramatic showdown at the Royal Montreal Golf Club. Led by captain Jim Furyk, the star-studded American squad closed out the biennial event with an 18.5–11.5 win.

Keegan Bradley delivered the clinching point, marking a personal full-circle moment after a decade-long absence from international team play. Despite a spirited performance from the International side, particularly South Korean star Tom Kim, the Americans capitalized on a strong start and held their ground to extend their dominance in the tournament. Xander Schauffele’s decisive win over Jason Day set the tone for the final day, giving the U.S. team a comfortable path to victory.

However, tensions flared during the event, with accusations of poor sportsmanship creating controversy. Tom Kim, who had energized his team with his competitive fire, accused the U.S. side of swearing at him during a tense foursomes match. The heated exchange, coupled with Kim’s exuberant celebrations and clashes over unspoken rules of courtesy, added a layer of drama to the contest.

Despite this, Kim later apologized to his opponents, while Schauffele and his teammates maintained they had shown respect throughout the match. In the end, the intensity of the competition only underscored the passion both teams brought to the Presidents Cup, making it a memorable event for fans and players alike.
