The United States Take an Eleventh Straight Presidents Cup With a Final-Day Comeback

The United States completed a comeback on the final day to beat the Internationals and retain the Presidents Cup, their eleventh successive win in the competition.

A streak this long stops being a result

Eleven in a row is no longer a run of form. It is a structural fact about the event, and it is the reason the Presidents Cup has spent two decades being defended as a concept rather than celebrated as a contest. The International side draws from every golfing nation outside Europe — a pool that includes Australia, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Canada and most of South America — and has won the thing twice since it began.

The counter-argument is that the matches themselves have got closer, and a final-day comeback is evidence for it: the Internationals held a lead going into Sunday and could not convert it. That is a competitive event with an uncompetitive ledger, which is a harder problem to fix than a blowout, because there is nothing obvious to change.
