The 2024 Presidents Cup team is set and ready for action.
The top-six finishers in the point standings that are U.S. PGA Tour members – LIV players need not apply because they are ineligible for the biennial competition – automatically qualified for U.S. Captain Jim Furyk’s team.
Furyk then made his six captain’s picks to round out his 12-man squad that will seek to continue America’s domination of the biennial team competition against the rest of the world (minus Europe). The Americans lead the all-time series 12-1-1 and have never lost on home soil. The lone International win came in 1998 at Royal Melbourne.
Furyk’s picks were the players seventh through 12th in the points. That left him with a few tough phone calls to Justin Thomas and Billy Horschel (both on the U.S. side in 2022) as well as Akshay Bhatia, who was seeking to make his first team.
The Presidents Cup will be played at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Sept. 26-29.
Here’s a look at the 12 members of the U.S. team:
Keegan Bradley
Appearances: 2013Record: 2-2-1
Keegan Bradley returns to the Presidents Cup for the first time in 11 years. Bradley was left off the U.S. Ryder Cup team last season but was named the 2025 U.S. captain in July. Presidents Cup captains Jim Furyk named Bradley an assistant captain but that was before he notched the seventh win of his PGA Tour career at the BMW Championship after entering the week at No. 50 in the FedExCup. The victory, which was one of three top-10s on the season, allowed him to advance to the Tour Championship for the sixth time in his career. U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk on Bradley: “When I named Keegan as a captain’s assistant for the Presidents Cup I knew there was a chance he would play his way onto the U.S. Team, and I can say without a doubt he did just that. The grit he showed in the final round in Memphis followed by the win in Denver exemplified the competitive nature he has always played with, and I know he will bring that same fire to Royal Montreal in a few weeks.”
Sam Burns
Appearances: 2022Record: 0-3-2
Sam Burns is making his third consecutive appearance in U.S. team competition. He went 0-3-2 at the 2022 Presidents Cup and 1-2 at the Ryder Cup in Rome last year. The partnership between him and pal Scottie Scheffler hasn’t fared well so far. Burns, 28, was winless this season but played well in the FedEx Cup and qualifies as a hot hand. Furyk on Burns: “Sam is a great player who has consistently put himself on leaderboards over the last four years. He has proven to excel in match play competition and demonstrates an unwavering level of passion and determination on the course, which will be a great asset for our team in Montreal.”
Patrick Cantlay
Appearances: 2019, 2022Record: 6-3-0
Cantlay is set to play in his third straight Presidents Cup after finishing fifth in the point standings. Cantlay has played on every U.S. team — both Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup — since 2019. He and Xander Schauffele have become one of the go-to teams for Team USA. Two years ago, they whipped up on Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama (6 and 5) on Thursday and defeated Tom Kim and Matsuyama on Friday (3 and 2). Captain Love opted to sit the dynamic duo for a session and then Kim was electric and took them down for their only loss. But Cantlay was victorious in singles for a 3-1 record for the week. The big question: have they found a Team USA cap that will fit his head?
Tony Finau
Appearances: 2019, 2022Record: 3-2-3
Tony Finau is set to make his third Presidents Cup appearance. He ranked second this season in Strokes Gained: Approach the Green. He finished T-2 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and matched his career-best finish in a major championship with a T-3 at the U.S. Open, finishing two shots behind winner Bryson DeChambeau. Furyk on Finau: “Tony is one of the best ball-strikers on the PGA Tour and his game pairs well with any of the other 11 players given his consistency. He has become a stalwart in U.S. team competition and carries himself with a fun, outgoing demeanor which is contagious on the course and in the team room.”
Max Homa
Appearances: 2022Record: 4-0-0
Max Homa performed so well at the 2022 Presidents Cup, where he went 4-0, and was one of the few bright spots at the 2023 Ryder Cup that you can excuse Furyk for overlooking the fact that Homa hasn’t recorded a top-10 finish since May. The 33-year-old is a six-time Tour winner and seems to play his best golf in the biggest moments. He finished T-3 at the Masters in April. Furyk on Homa: “Max plays his best on the biggest stages, and that was on full display at the 2022 Presidents Cup and 2023 Ryder Cup. He was an emotional leader for both teams and someone who rallied the 11 players around him time and again, and I can’t wait to have him represent the U.S. again in Montreal.”
Collin Morikawa
Appearances: 2022Record: 2-1-0
Morikawa finished third in the points standings. His only win was in October at the 2023 Zozo Championship in October. He hit his stride between the Masters (T-3) and the British Open (T-16), finishing no worse than T-16 in 10 individual starts. He had a 2-1 record in 2022, playing twice with Cameron Young in the lead up to defeating Mito Pereira in singles.
Xander Schauffele
Appearances: 2019, 2022Record: 6-3-0
Schauffele won two majors — the PGA Championship and British Open — to put an end to all the talk that he can’t win the big ones. Two years ago at Quail Hollow, he lit up a victory cigar after teaming with Patrick Cantlay in foursomes and four-ball and winning a pillow fight with Canada’s Corey Conners. Schauffele went 3-1 for the week. This will be his third time representing the U.S. side at the Presidents Cup.
Scottie Scheffler
Appearances: 2022Record: 0-3-1
Scheffler topped the U.S. point standings — and it wasn’t even close. The world No. 1 has enjoyed a monster year. However, he’ll be seeking to redeem himself at the biennial competition after finishing with a record of 0-3-1 in his debut in 2022 at Quail Hollow. Scheffler teamed with Sam Burns and went 0-2-1 and even sat on Saturday afternoon. He was seen practicing into the night but it didn’t help. Scheffler lost to Sebastian Munoz in singles. Expect Scheffler to be a force to be reckoned with this go-round.
Wyndham Clark
First Presidents Cup appearance.
Clark picked up where he left off from winning the Wells Fargo Championship and U.S. Open last year by winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and climbed to No. 3 in the world after runner-up finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship in March. He missed the cut at three of the four majors in 2024 but he’s becoming a stalwart representing the Stars and Stripes: he was on the U.S. team for the Ryder Cup, at the Paris Olympics and will make his Presidents Cup debut after finishing fourth in the point standings.
Brian Harman
First Presidents Cup appearance.
Brian Harman is making his Presidents Cup debut one year after making his maiden Ryder Cup appearance. Harman, the winner of the 2023 British Open, failed to get back into the winner’s circle but recorded three top-10 finishes including a T-2 at the Players Championship. He finished 31st in the FedEx Cup. Furyk on Harman: “Throughout his career, Brian has been one of the fiercest match-play competitors I’ve seen. His grit and tenacity were on full display winning the 2023 Open Championship, and I’m looking forward to having that mindset on our side at Royal Montreal.”
Russel Henley
First Presidents Cup appearance.
Russell Henley didn’t win during the 2024 season but the four-time Tour winner enjoyed one of his best seasons, finishing T-4 in the Tour Championship. He’s become a top ball-striker and can be a streaky putter. He’s one of the more underrated players on Tour and finally gets a shot at international team competition for the Stars and Stripes. Furyk on Henley: “Russell has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour these last two years, and I can’t wait to have him in Montreal with the U.S. Team next month. He is unflappable under pressure and without doubt one of the best putters in our game, which is a fantastic combination for match play success.”
Sahith Theegala
First Presidents Cup appearance.
Theegala won for the first time at the Fortinet Championship in September. Since then, he’s continued to blossom into one of the top players on Tour, recording seven top 10-finishes this season. Nursing a sore wrist that kept him out of the pro-am, Theegala struggled at the BMW Championship, including a 79 on Saturday, but he hung on to the sixth and final automatic qualifying spot and is set to make his debut in team competition. “It feels great. I was kind of close to the last two teams but not really. On both lists I was probably somewhere between 14 and 18. So I knew the feeling of having been close but not quite doing enough to even deserve a pick or anything like that,” Theegala said. “That just fueled me a little bit more to not only get in the top 12 but really the top 6 and lock it up.” Theegala’s only prior experience in international team competition? At the 2018 Arnold Palmer Cup in France, where he represented the United States while playing for Pepperdine.
