Royal Montreal in golf world’s spotlight
Canadian flags will be flapping all over Montreal this week as 24 of the world’s best golfers descend on Royal Montreal Golf Club for the President’s Cup.

Not only is our country represented by its hosting site, but the President's Cup captain is Canadian Mike Weir, who has good memories of this event when it was held at this same location back in 2007. In Sunday singles that year, Weir defeated Tiger Woods, eliciting nationwide euphoria, but Weir's International squad still lost the competition.
In fact, winning the competition has been almost impossible for the Internationals. In 14 biennial competitions, the U.S. has won 12 times, losing only once and tying once. An International victory in Montreal this week would be one of the biggest upsets – and stories – of the year on our soil.
