Overview
- Brandt Snedeker completed the U.S. team on Tuesday by picking Chris Gotterup, Xander Schauffele, Jackson Koivun, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Jacob Bridgeman to join six automatic qualifiers.
- International captain Geoff Ogilvy filled his side with Corey Conners, Nico Echavarria, Nick Taylor, Sungjae Im, Ryo Hisatsune and Christiaan Bezuidenhout after six players qualified automatically at the Tour Championship.
- The selections produced surprise inclusions and notable snubs, with rookie Koivun, Gotterup and Bridgeman added to the U.S. team and higher‑ranked names such as Ben Griffin, J.J. Spaun and Jason Day left off final rosters.
- Both captains said they weighed recent form, match‑play fit, temperament and team chemistry when choosing picks, a process that will shape pairings and strategic matchups at Medinah.
- The 16th Presidents Cup will be played at Medinah Country Club from Sept. 24–27, and the U.S. enters as the heavy favorite given its world‑ranking depth and a long history of dominance in the event.
