  "account": "Kevin Kisner, a US golfer, has expressed his belief that Brandt Snedeker should be furious with the PGA Tour for selecting Medinah Country Club as the venue for the 2026 Presidents Cup. This choice is particularly concerning for Kisner, given that Ogilvy, the International captain, played a significant role in redesigning the course. Kisner stated that this development feels like an attempt to level the playing field in favor of the International team, which has only managed to win the Presidents Cup once since its inception in 1994. As captain of the US team, Snedeker understands the importance of securing a victory, as it would greatly enhance his reputation and future prospects of being selected as a Ryder Cup captain. Although Medinah may concern some American fans due to its historical significance in a Ryder Cup comeback, it is a course that Ogilvy is extremely familiar with. This familiarity likely influenced the PGA Tour's decision to choose Medinah as the host venue for the 2026 event.",
  "summary": "Kevin Kisner has admitted that he would be furious with the PGA Tour if he was Brandt Snedeker over the choice of golf course for the 2026 Presidents Cup. Being captain of the US Presidents Cup team is probably quite a thankless task given that the International side have managed to win on just one occasion since the tournament began in 1994.",
