Presidents Cup Team Selections Announced

The lineups for the upcoming Presidents Cup have been finalized, with the U.S. team led by captain Jim Furyk selecting players ranked 7-12 in the standings, resulting in notable omissions, including Justin Thomas. Keegan Bradley, initially slated to serve as an assistant captain, has been chosen to compete instead due to his recent win at the BMW Championship, marking his return to the event after a decade. International captain Mike Weir selected three Canadians—Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, and Mackenzie Hughes—alongside players from South Korea, Australia, and South Africa. The event will take place from September 26-29 at Royal Montreal Golf Club, where the U.S. aims to extend its dominance of the competition, having won the last nine matches. The decisions made by both captains have drawn mixed reactions, particularly concerning the exclusion of seasoned players like Thomas and the selection of relatively inexperienced candidates. As the teams prepare for the competition, the focus remains on forming effective pairings and maximizing player strengths.
