The 2003 Presidents Cup was held 20–23 November 2003 at the Links Course at Fancourt Hotel and Country Club in George, Western Cape, South Africa. The United States and International team tied the competition 17–17, and after three tied playoff holes between Tiger Woods and Ernie Els, it was decided that the Cup would be shared by agreement of the captains and players.
