Golf-US, International teams add captain’s picks for Presidents Cup
Brandt Snedeker and Geoff Ogilvy filled their final picks, giving the U.S. six top-11 players and leaving the Internationals to chase an 11th straight loss.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026, U.S. team captain Brandt Snedeker and International team captain Australian Geoff Ogilvy finalized their 12-player rosters for the Presidents Cup, which begins Sept. 24 at Medinah Country Club in Illinois.
- Ogilvy selected six players, including Sungjae Im, to bolster his International Team, which seeks to snap an 11th consecutive loss to the United States; the Internationals have won only once since 1998.
- Snedeker added experience to his American squad by selecting Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, and Patrick Cantlay; the U.S. team remains favored, featuring six automatic qualifiers including world number 1 Scottie Scheffler.
- "I don't think I've had 12 guys more enthusiastic," Ogilvy said; the International roster includes rookies Nick Taylor, Nico Echavarria, and Ryo Hisatsune, while the U.S. team added 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun.
- Opening on Sept. 24, the 16th edition of the competition runs through Sept. 27 at Medinah Country Club, with the course—renovated by Ogilvy's Australia-based design company—hosting five fourball matches on the first day.
