Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

Each match, whether it be a doubles or singles match, is worth one point. In the doubles matches a half-point is awarded to each team in the event of a tie. With 11 foursome doubles matches, 11 four ball doubles matches and 12 singles matches that represents a total of 34 points. To win the Presidents Cup a team must accrue a total of 17.5 points. The format of the Presidents Cup differs from the Ryder Cup mainly in that it includes six extra matches, which prevents a team from hiding its weaknesses. By having all 24 players on the course for all three days there cannot be a situation such as in the 1999 Ryder Cup when Europe kept three players on the bench for the sixteen four-ball and better-ball matches on the first two days. This use of twelve players on all three days arguably led to the United States' victory.

Money, what else. Imagine the ratings if, once the cup is decided,everybody marched into the clubhouse and got drunk in the final hour! Actually, I'd love to see the sponsors sizzling, but sponsors don't like tv types getting cocked until they're are off the air. Fuzzy Zoeller, Jimmy the Greek, Joe Namath, Howard Cosell, et al paid a heavy price for acting like guys will on camera.
