It was the first time the golf cup had three US presidents attending the matches together since the event began in 1994.
The trio, each wearing their Presidents’ Cup polos, posed with players and wives on each team for the opening ceremony at Liberty National in New Jersey.
International captain Nick Price said the three presidents struck the perfect tone for the event.
He said: “Those were three of the most powerful men of their time.
“Icons, honestly. And they all said the same thing: ‘Guys, we can’t pull for you, but we want you to have a good match.’ They were great. Of course, you’re not going to pull for us. You guys are Americans.

“But they’re golfers, and they’re great sportsmen, too. And our boys really appreciate that.”
In the fifth and final match, golfer Phil Mickelson came over to shake hands with all three – and pose for a selfie.
Mr Mickelson, who only got part of his face in the picture, said: “I’m so bad at selfies”.
But he added: “How can you not do that when you have three of our presidents?
“And their presence really means a lot to this event. That’s what it’s about. It’s the Presidents’ Cup.
“And for those three to come here and be a part of it was very special, and I just took advantage of the opportunity.”
Mr Obama, after shaking hundreds of hands and a lengthy chat with US assistant captain Tiger Woods, left the event after the third match started.
Mr Bush and Mr Clinton stayed until the end.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said: “I get excited about the fact that three individuals ascended to the highest office in the land and golf was an important part of their life and continues to be an important part of their life,
“I think it’s a great statement for our game.”
Donald Trump, who equally loves golf, was busy with the 70th anniversary of the National Security Council in Washington.
He is expected to attend the tournament on Sunday, though this has not been confirmed.
Mr Trump, who criticised Mr Obama for playing golf during his time in office, has visited the golf course 60 times as president and played at least 24 times.
