While it doesn't get the international attention of the other World Cup, the World Cup of Golf is one of the truly unique events in the sport.

Pitting 26 teams against one another, each representing a different country, the heart of the 2013 World Cup of Golf is which side comes out on top.

Invitations are doled out to the world's Top 15 players, with no more than four players from the same country being allowed to compete. There is no requirement for participation. From there, players are added to the field two at a time until the field of 60 is filled, thus creating as close to an evenly matched format as possible.

For countries with more than two players, only the top two scores will be recorded. 

The event is mostly structured to be a precursor to the 2016 Summer Olympics, where golf will return to the program after more than a century away. There will be no team element to the events in Rio De Janeiro, but this year's World Cup format was changed to four rounds of stroke play in order mirror what participants can expect in a few years.

The United States has won the event a record 24 times and comes in as the defending champions. Matt Kuchar is returning from his 2011 victory to team with Kevin Streelman, but there is actually a good amount of competition in the field this year. Adam Scott, the world's second-ranked player, is joined by Jason Day for the host country. 

Individually, the players will also be competing for a massive purse of $7 million, including $1.2 million for the winner. The country that wins the team event will split a $1 million prize, so it's not all that bad to be on a great team, either.

With that in mind, here is a complete breakdown of all the day-by-day action from Melbourne, highlighting the individual and team results.
