The United States team was composed of eight automatic qualifiers and eight captain's picks. The automatic qualifiers include golfers Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Wyndham Clark, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, and Collin Morikawa. The captain's picks are Chris Gotterup, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Jacob Bridgemahan, and Jackson Koivun.
The International team also had eight automatic qualifiers and eight captain's choices.

The Presidents Cup, unlike the Ryder Cup, started in 1994 and has been won by the United States in every year since 2003. The scoring system is match play, with each match worth one point, and a halved match awarding a half-point to each team. A total of 30 points are needed to win the Cup, with the final day consisting of 12 singles matches.
