Brandt Snedeker, the 2024 recipient of the Payne Stewart Award, is joining Jim Furyk’s United States Presidents Cup roster as a captain’s assistant. Snedeker, who will serve as one of Keegan Bradley’s vice captains next year at the 2025 Ryder Cup, played in the 2013 Presidents Cup (2-3-0 record).

“I was honored to get the call from Jim and thrilled to accept this role as one of his captain’s assistants for the Presidents Cup,” Snedeker said in a statement. “He’s someone I’ve looked up to throughout my career and I know will be a strong leader for the U.S. Team at Royal Montreal. My goal is to add a trusted voice to our players throughout the week and do everything I can to help us pull out the win.”

The nine-time PGA Tour winner joins Kevin Kisner, Stewart Cink and Justin Leonard in the assistant room.

“I enjoyed competing together with Brandt at the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah,” Furyk said in a statement. “He is a fierce competitor, great teammate and one of the most respected players on the PGA Tour. He will provide a steady voice in the team room, and I will rely on him for insight and advice as we lead our 12 players into Montreal at the end of the month.”

The Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal will be played Sept 27-29.
