Animation gives fans an idea of what to expect on the first tee at the 2022 Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow

A crowd of 2,500 fans will be packed around the first tee at Quail Hollow.

The PGA Tour season has come and gone and now golf fans have their eyes fixed on Quail Hollow Club for next month’s 2022 Presidents Cup.

If you can’t make it to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the biennial matches that pit the best players in the United States against a team of the best players from around the world (Europe and LIV Golf excluded), the folks behind the Presidents Cup have released a little teaser that gives golf fans an idea of what to expect at what should make for a wild first tee atmosphere.

While the animated graphic shows a good mix of American and International supporters, the first tee setup will feature 2,500 fans that will almost assuredly be dominated by the Red, White and Blue.

Six players automatically qualified for Team USA as well as eight for the Internationals, but International captain Trevor Immelman will need to replace Cameron Smith and Joaquin Niemann, who have since joined LIV Golf.

Meet the eight automatic qualifiers for the International Team at the 2022 Presidents Cup

Eight players have qualified for next month’s event at Quail Hollow.

The International Team for the 2022 Presidents Cup is starting to take shape.

The qualification period for captain Trevor Immelman’s squad wrapped up at the end of the 2022 BMW Championship, with the top eight players on the points list earning a spot on the team for the biennial event against the United States to be held Sept. 22-25 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In a recent Q&A with Golfweek, Immelman said the players who have left for LIV Golf and are currently unable to play in the event have “hurt us immensely,” and expanded on the costly loses of Louis Oosthuizen and Abraham Ancer, saying “We’ve lost two guys that were absolutely going to be there at Quail Hollow.”

Immelman will announce his four captain’s picks at a later date.

The Presidents Cup is a match play event with 30 total matches, comprised of a 12-person U.S. Team and 12-person International Team. The U.S. leads 11-1-1.

Let’s take a look at the eight internationals who qualified.
