The 2026 Presidents Cup teams have been finalised with US captain Brandt Snedeker and International Team captain Geoff Ogilvy making their six selections. The International Team, consisting of non-European and non-American golfers, will be led by Ogilvy and features six automatic qualifiers, including Kim Si-woo, ranked 13th in the world, and Tom Kim. Ogilvy selected Im Sung-jae, Corey Conners, Nico Echavarria, Ryo Hisatsune, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Nick Taylor as his captain's picks.

The US team, which has won the last 10 consecutive Presidents Cup meetings, includes six automatic qualifiers: Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Wyndham Clark, Sam Burns, Russell Henley and Collin Morikawa. Snedeker's captain's picks are Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay, Chris Gotterup, Jacob Bridgeman and Jackson Koivun. The Presidents Cup will be held at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, from September 24 to 27.

According to Golf.com, two prominent American Ryder Cup players were snubbed from the US team. The International Team will look to end their 10-match losing streak against the US. Yonhap News reported that Im Sung-jae, ranked 57th in the world, has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour since winning the Rookie of the Year award in the 2018-2019 season.
