  "summary": "The 2026 Presidents Cup teams have been finalised with US captain Brandt Snedeker and International Team captain Geoff Ogilvy making their six selections each. The US team includes automatic qualifiers Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, Wyndham Clark, Sam Burns, Russell Henley, and Collin Morikawa. Snedeker's picks included Chris Gotterup, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, and Patrick Cantlay, as well as Jacob Bridgeman and rookie Jackson Koivun.\n\nAccording to Yahoo Sports, the US team has dominated the Presidents Cup, winning the last 10 straight meetings, including an 18.5-11.5 victory over the International Team in Montreal in 2024. The International Team will look to end this run at Medinah Country Club later this month.\n\nSnedeker's selection of Jackson Koivun, a rookie who turned pro in July, has drawn comparisons to a past Ryder Cup move, as reported by Golf.com. Koivun is the second-youngest American player in Presidents Cup history.",
