The first eight names on the International teamsheet are also selected based on the Official World Golf Rankings, but players who are eligible for the Ryder Cup team are excluded from Presidents Cup qualification.

The scoring system for the Presidents Cup is match play. The format is similar to that of the Ryder Cup, with the captain choosing pairs in the doubles events, which consist of fourball and foursome matches.

On Thursday and Friday, there will be five matches in total on each day, while on Saturday, eight four-ball and foursome matches will be split across the morning and afternoon.

On the final day, 12 singles matches will take place between the two sides, and each match is worth one point for a win or half a point for a draw.

Who are the favourites for the Presidents Cup?

The USA remain the overwhelming favourites for this year's event thanks to their dominance in recent years. They were last beaten in 1998, but they have won eight straight President Cup competitions since 2005.

Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are their highest-ranked players, but Team USA is stacked with talent, with Tony Finau, Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Collin Morikawa all set to play.

Open champion Cameron Smith is the star of the International Team, while Hideki Matsuyama, Sungjae Im, Joaquin Niemann and Adam Scott will try to secure a surprise victory at 16/5.
