The 2024 Presidents Cup is underway and the United States jumped out to a big lead after winning all five matches Thursday during the Round 1 four-ball session. A comeback by the International team seemed unlikely considering the Americans entered as heavy favorites, but Friday’s Round 2 foursomes have made this event interesting heading into the weekend.

Golfers on the U.S. and International teams alternated shots during the five matches scheduled for Friday at The Royal Montreal Club.

U.S. captain Jim Furyk turned to a familiar Ryder Cup duo with Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay teamed up for Round 2. Max Homa and Brian Harmon, who went 2-1 together at last year’s Ryder Cup, made their 2024 Presidents Cup debut together Friday after not being used in Round 1. International team captain Mike Weir notably sat out Tom Kim, one of three golfers on his side ranked among the top 25 in the world golf rankings, after Kim lost to his friend, Scottie Scheffler, on Thursday.

But after the Americans staked themselves a 5-0 lead after Round 1, the International team tied everything up again ahead of what should be a dramatic weekend of golf.

Here are the results through two days of competition in the 2024 Presidents Cup, plus matchups, pairings, tee times for Saturday:
