The honorary chairman for this year's tournament is President Trump, who owns several of his own golf resorts and has been golfing numerous times since taking office.

Established in 1994, the biannual tournament was founded by the PGA Tour to raise money for charities around the world.

In 11 meetings, the U.S. has won nine times and the international team has won once. The two teams tied in 2003.
