This year's Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club will be the most Canadian version of the international men's golf event, ever.

Corey Conners, Mackenzie Hughes and Taylor Pendrith were named to the International Team on Tuesday for the upcoming best-on-best tournament that sees 12 players from around the world, excluding Europe, face 12 golfers from the United States in match-play competition.

It's the first time three Canadians have played in the prestigious international event at the same time. Canadian golf legend Mike Weir used three of his six captain's selections on Pendrith, Conners and Hughes.

He also picked South Africa's Christiaan Bezuidenhout, South Korea's Si Woo Kim and Australia's Min Woo Lee to be on his team.
