Captains – U.S. Team Captain Fred Couples returns in an attempt to win for a record third time after making victories in San Francisco (2009) and Melbourne, Australia (2011). Nick Price makes his debut as International Team Captain. The International Team is looking for its second outright victory. Format: The Presidents Cup competition consists of 34 matches – 11 Foursomes (alternate shot) and 11 Four- ball (better-ball) matches. There are 12 Singles matches involving all players on the final Sunday. All matches are worth one point each, for a total of 34 points. There are no playoffs for Foursomes or Four-ball, with each side receiving ½ a point if the match finishes all-square. Singles matches all square after 18 holes will go extra holes until a team winner is determined. In a change inspired by the events of The Presidents Cup 2003, if the match is deadlocked at the end of play, the competition will be deemed a tie and the teams will share the Cup. U.S. Television Times (Eastern U.S.) Date Time Channel Thurs., October 3 12-6 p.m. Golf Channel Fri., October 4 1-6 p.m. Golf Channel Sat., October 5 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. NBC Sun., October 6 12-6 p.m. NBC Charitable Distributions : Unlike many other events, the players do not receive prize money based on performance. Instead, the PGA TOUR pledges to contribute to charities, which are nominated by the players, captains and captains’ assistants from both teams. On behalf of the players, captains and captains’ assistants, more than $4.5 million was distributed to charitable causes from The Presidents Cup 2011. CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS BY YEAR 1994 – US $ 750,000 1996 – US $ 800,000 1998 – US $ 2.9 million 2000 – US $ 2.8 million 2003 – US $ 2.8 million 2005 – US $ 3.5 million 2007 – US $ 4.2 million 2009 – US $ 4.2 million 2011 – US $ 4.5 million Additional donations were made to The First Tee of San Francisco and the Victorian Bushfire Appeal in 2009 and to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal (following the Queensland floods) and New Zealand Earthquake disaster relief in 2011, as well as to additional Victorian-based charities, bringing the total amount generated for charity to more than $27 million (US). Eligibility – U.S. Team - The top 10 U.S. players who earned the most official PGA TOUR money beginning with the 2011 TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola through the 2013 Deutsche Bank Championships (ending Monday, Sept. 2), weighted as follows: 2011-2012 $1 = 1 point 2013 $1 = 2 points Plus two Captain’s selections made on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013.

There have never been more than four South Africans on the International Team in event history (2007), and only Australia has had five players on the International Team at one time (1994, 1996, 2003, 2005 and 2011). International countries represented over the history of the Presidents Cup: 11 - Argentina, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Fiji, Japan, New Zealand, Paraguay, South Africa, South Korea, Zimbabwe The U.S. Team has 28 previous Presidents Cup appearances amongst its members, including three players who have won at Muirfield Village Golf Club, site of this year’s event (Matt Kuchar-2013, Steve Stricker-2011 and Tiger Woods-2012, 2009, 2001, 2000, 1999).

United States Team Bios KEEGAN BRADLEY - Even though Keegan Bradley hasn’t won this season like he did his first two years on the PGA TOUR, he still enjoyed a successful campaign in 2013. At two tournaments where he had previously won (HP Byron Nelson Championship and the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational), Bradley posted second-place finishes this year. In addition, he posted four conseCutive top-10 finishes, beginning with the start of the Southern Swing at The Honda Classic. This is Bradley’s first appearance on a Presidents Cup team after a memorable performance at last year’s Ryder Cup. In three years on the PGA TOUR, Bradley has three victories, including his 2011 win at the PGA Championship, three runner-ups and 16 total top-10 finishes. He finished 2013 a career-high 18 th in the FedExCup standings. The Presidents Cup: First appearance Memorial Tournament finishes: • 2013: T50 • 2012: Cut • 2011: Cut JASON DUFNER - This season is a year of redemption for Jason Dufner. He celebrated a popular victory at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill this August thanks to his spectacular ball-striking ability. It’s difficult to remember another recent major champion who played in the final group and produced three kick-in birdies in the final round en route to victory.
