The playing of the 2024 World Champions Cup will be postponed to the 2025 season.
"Our goal with the World Champions Cup is to provide a first-class experience for all our partners and fans," said Intersport, PGA TOUR Champions, The Concession Golf Club and Manatee County in a joint statement. "We are pleased that the Bradenton area sustained minimal damage, but given the timing of the tournament in relation to the recent storms, we believe that focusing our efforts on the future is in the best interests of everyone involved.
"Last year, the fourth global team competition renewed decades-old rivalries among many of the world’s best golfers in its inaugural playing, providing drama and entertainment to golf fans. We are excited to welcome back our fans and continue to build the event’s legacy in 2025."
The World Champions Cup is an annual three-team, three-day competition contested across nine-hole matches featuring team formats and singles play, with points being earned for each hole won in each of the event’s 24 matches. Each of the three teams competing in the World Champions Cup consists of six players, including a playing captain. Inspired by the passion and tradition of the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup, the World Champions Cup is officially sanctioned by PGA TOUR Champions.
The World Champions Cup debuted in 2023 as a team match-play event between the United States, Europe and International Teams.
Team USA won the inaugural World Champions Cup in nail-biting fashion, as its 221 points tally was just two points better than Team International over the three-day tournament. Team Europe was third with 208.
