    It's already a long weekend for the international team in the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal .

    The Americans swept all five matchups of four-ball, jumping out to a 5-0 lead in pursuit of their 10th straight win in this biannual competition.

    Nothing went right for the internationals, including an interesting back-and-forth between Tom Kim, who sank a long putt and celebrated, only to be followed by a longer putt from Scottie Scheffler and an enthused "what was that?" from the usually reserved World's No. 1 player .

    On Friday, four points are up for grabs in the foursomes (alternate shots) competitions.

    Presidents Cup format

    The two, 12-man teams will compete in four days of competitions. Thursday is four-ball (best ball), in which five sets of two players per side square off and the best score among the four wins the hole. Friday features foursomes (alternate shot), where five sets of two players per side play the same ball. Saturday is a combination of both four-ball (four matchups) and foursomes (four matchups) and Sunday is 12 singles matches in stroke play.

    The winner of each hole earns one point, while a tie on the hole does not move the score. Each match win equals a point toward the final score, and if the match remains square through 18 holes, each side is awarded a half-point.

    The team that reaches 15.5 points first will win the 15th edition of the Presidents Cup. The U.S. has won the last nine Presidents Cups and 12 of the 14 matchups overall (with one tie).
