The 15th Presidents Cup is set to get underway this week in Montreal at Royal Montreal Golf Club featuring 24 of the PGA Tour’s top players — 12 from the United States and 12 from around the world (except for Europe) — meeting for the biennial matches.
At the last Presidents Cup two years ago at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, the American squad captured another victory, beating the International team 17.5-12.5.
This year’s Presidents Cup begins Thursday and concludes on Sunday. Jim Furyk will captain the U.S. squad and Canadian Mike Weir will oversee the Internationals in his home country. Scroll below for the team rosters and player records.
United States Team
*denotes captain’s pick
Captain: Jim Furyk
Furyk gets his first nod as Presidents Cup captain after leading a losing effort for the Americans at the 2018 Ryder Cup in Paris. A 17-time PGA Tour winner and the 2003 U.S. Open winner, Furyk is the only man in PGA Tour history to break 60 twice on Tour and owns the all-time single-round scoring mark of 58, shot at the 2016 Travelers Championship.
Keegan Bradley (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 2-2-1)*
Bradley was named as one of Furyk’s captain’s picks a year after being left off the U.S. Ryder Cup team after a season in which he collected his first two PGA Tour titles since 2018. He will be a big part of next year’s Ryder Cup squad after shockingly being announced as captain for 2025. Bradley won the BMW Championship last month and had two runner-ups to make his case for a pick.
Sam Burns (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 0-3-2)*
Burns had a down year in 2024, but made up for it at the end, finishing no worse than T12 in his last four events, including the Tour Championship to earn a captain’s selection. He hasn’t won since last year’s Dell Technologies Match Play, but figures to pair with close friend and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. He didn’t win a match despite playing in five at Quail Hollow and notched just one point at Marco Simone last year.
Patrick Cantlay (Presidents Cups: 2 / Record: 6-3-0)
While Cantlay hasn’t won since the 2022 BMW Championship, he’s still been one of the most consistent players in the sport. He only recorded four top-10s in 2024, but three came in Signature Events while the other was a T3 at the U.S. Open. He also added eight top-25s and missed just one cut all season. Before going 0-2 last year in Rome, he and Xander Schauffele were 6-3 as a team.
Wyndham Clark (Presidents Cups: Rookie / Record: 0-0-0)
After a breakout year in 2023 where he won his first two titles, including the U.S. Open, Clark went 1-1-1 in his first national team appearance at the Ryder Cup. He picked up another win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this year and seven other top-10s, but has been inconsistent, missing six cuts, including two weeks ago at the Procore Championship.
Tony Finau (Presidents Cups: 2 / Record: 3-2-3)*
Finau was left off the Ryder Cup team last year and hasn’t won this year despite winning twice each of the last two seasons. However, he was consistent in 2024, missing just two cuts and racking up 15 top-25s to earn a pick.
Brian Harman (Presidents Cups: Rookie / Record: 0-0-0)*
Harman had a down year from his banner 2023 season where he collected his first major at the Open Championship. He was T60 in his title defense at Royal Troon and didn’t finish better than 25th in his final three starts, failing to advance to the Tour Championship. But a 2-2-0 record at last year’s Ryder Cup helped push Furyk toward adding him to the team.
Russell Henley (Presidents Cups: Rookie / Record: 0-0-0)*
Henley had a sneaky good season, despite not winning, racking up seven top-10s and four more top-25s while missing just one cut in 18 starts. His T4 performance at East Lake helped show Furyk he was worthy of a pick.
Max Homa (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 4-0-0)*
Homa looked primed for another multi-win campaign after he was one bad bounce away from giving Scheffler a run on the back nine at the Masters. But that T3 at Augusta was his best finish of the year and he had just one top-10 the rest of the way, like Harman, failing to make the Tour Championship. He’s proven himself a savant for match play, sporting a 7-1-1 record over last year’s Ryder Cup and the 2022 Presidents Cup, nearly necessitating his place on the team.
Collin Morikawa (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 2-1-0)
Morikawa had potentially one of the best years of any player who did not win. He had eight top-10s including top-5s in each of the year’s first two majors and had the lowest gross score at the Tour Championship, resulting in a 2nd place finish.
Xander Schauffele (Presidents Cups: 2 / Record: 6-3-0)
The only man who can challenge Scheffler for Player of the Year, Schauffele became the first player since Brooks Koepka in 2018 to win two majors in a single season and compiled a staggering 15 top-10s. He and Cantlay have formed a dynamic duo in these international cup matches and even won the 2022 Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event.
Scottie Scheffler (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 0-3-1)
Scheffler is the unquestioned top player in the sport, adding another six wins to his tally in 2024 in addition to the Gold Medal at the Olympics. He has disappointed in his last two cup matches, failing to record a win, but did go 2-0-1 in his U.S. team debut at the 2021 Ryder Cup as a captain’s pick.
Sahith Theegala (Presidents Cups: Rookie / Record: 0-0-0)
Theegala is making his first national team appearance of any kind this week after recording nine top-10s in 2024 and finished 3rd at the Tour Championship.
International Team
*denotes captain’s pick
Captain: Mike Weir
Weir is fitting as captain of the International squad not only because it’s in his home nation, but because he authored a great underdog story in winning the 2003 Masters, becoming the only Canadian to win a major.
Byeong Hun An, South Korea (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 1-2-2)
Like Morikawa and Theegala, An also had a strong year by capitalizing on the Signature Events, collecting three of his five top-10s in the $20 million+ events. He was in the FedEx Cup Top-10 for most of the season until an MC-WD-MC streak starting at the U.S. Open set him back. He’s making his first Presidents Cup team appearance since 2019 where he earned two points at Royal Melbourne.
Christiaan Bezuidenhout, South Africa (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 1-0-1)*
Bezuidenhout, despite playing in just two matches at Quail Hollow, was one of just two International players not to take a loss at the last Presidents Cup. Bezuidenhout had just three top-10s this season, but it was just enough for him to squeak his way into the Tour Championship.
Corey Conners, Canada (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 0-4-0)*
Conners ended a five-year winless drought this season, winning the Valero, the same place where he got his first win as a Monday qualifier in 2019. He notched three other top-10s this season, but it wasn’t enough to get him to the Tour Championship. He disappointed in Charlotte two years ago, failing to even earn a half-point along with fellow countryman Taylor Pendrith, but will have all the motivation in the world playing in front of a true home crowd.
Jason Day, Australia (Presidents Cups: 4 / Record: 5-11-4)
Day made more headlines this year for his outfits than he did his play, but still had an OK season for the former World No. 1. After returning to the winner’s circle for the first time in five years in 2023, Day had four top-10s and four other top-25s, but failed to move onto East Lake. He’s the third-most experienced player on the team, making his fifth Presidents Cup appearance this week.
Mackenzie Hughes, Canada (Presidents Cups: Rookie / Record: 0-0-0)*
Hughes won just weeks after sitting out the 2022 Presidents Cup and said he was motivated to make the team when it returned to Royal Montreal. Mission accomplished after recording four top-10s this season, including two weeks ago at the Procore. However, he wasn’t playing well before Napa and didn’t make it out of the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
Sungjae Im, South Korea (Presidents Cups: 2 / Record: 5-3-2)
One of the hardest-working players on the PGA Tour, Im has scaled back his seemingly unrelenting schedule in recent years, making only 25 starts in 2024, a career-low since joining the PGA Tour. But that didn’t stop him from recording another eight top-10s. He’s one of the few players on the International Team with a winning record, along with Si Woo Kim.
Si Woo Kim, South Korea (Presidents Cups: 2 / Record: 4-3-0)*
Kim had a memorable 2022 Presidents Cup, leading the Internationals with a 3-1-0 record and taking down Justin Thomas in Sunday singles. He recorded just two top-10s in 2024, but also had nine other top-25s and barely missed the Tour Championship, finishing 32nd in the FedEx Cup.
Tom Kim, South Korea (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 2-3-0)
Kim had an up-and-down year, his third on the PGA Tour since winning twice as a rookie in 2022. He nearly won at the Travelers Championship, losing in a playoff to Scottie Scheffler, but had just one other top-10. His season memorably ended early at the FedEx St. Jude Championship when he played the final three holes in five over to drop out of the top 50. At Quail Hollow, Kim was the sparkplug for the International Squad, winning both his matches on Saturday with several heroic shots to give them a chance going into singles.
Min Woo Lee, Australia (Presidents Cups: Rookie / Record: 0-0-0)*
Lee had an up-and-down rookie year on the PGA Tour after earning his card as a nonmember in 2023. He missed just three cuts and recorded two runner-up finishes but no other top-10s. He’ll be bringing his “the chef” persona to the International squad for the first time.
Hideki Matsuyama, Japan (Presidents Cups: 5 / Record: 7-10-5)
Matsuyama had fallen out of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in more than a decade in January and responded by winning his first event in two years at the Genesis Invitational and then added another at the FedEx St. Jude. He’s the second most experienced player on the International squad, but went 1-3-1 in 2022.
Taylor Pendrith, Canada (Presidents Cups: 1 / Record: 0-4-0)*
Like Conners, Pendrith didn’t win a point in four matches last time out for the Internationals, but he’ll have a renewed motivation in front of the Canadian faithful. He had by far the best season of his career in 2024, notching six top-10s and finishing 14th at the Tour Championship in his first appearance there.
Adam Scott, Australia (Presidents Cups: 10 / Record: 18-25-6)*
Scott has played in more Presidents Cup matches than the entire U.S. team combined. He memorably went through U.S. Open qualifying to keep his record majors-played streak alive and then caught fire toward the end of the season with runner-ups at the Scottish Open and BMW Championship to return to the Tour Championship where he finished T4.
