Muirfield Village Golf Club

The selection of Muirfield as the 2013 tournament site was taken as a tribute to golfing great Jack Nicklaus, who designed the course. Nicklaus has said that his involvement as tournament host for the 2013 Presidents Cup "probably will be my last involvement in anything significant in the game of golf".[1] Muirfield was the third U.S. course to host the tournament, and the first course in the world to host Presidents Cup, Ryder Cup, and Solheim Cup international team competitions.[2][3]

In May 2012, Fred Couples and Nick Price were named captains of the U.S. and International teams, respectively.[4][5]

The United States won for the fifth successive time with an 181⁄2–151⁄2 victory over the International team.[6][7][8][9]
