Justin Thomas is making the premiere of the Biltmore Championship a must-attend event on the PGA Tour. The two-time major winner and newly minted Presidents Cup Captain's Pick is already confirmed to play when the brand-new event kicks off the 2026 FedEx Fall Series. This is no coincidence, as the tournament in Asheville, North Carolina, will serve as a showdown before Medinah.
Presidents Cup Warm-up Deluxe
Nothing is flying under the radar here: With Thomas, recently named by U.S. Captain Brandt Snedeker as one of his six picks, the Biltmore Championship immediately secures a spot on the top agenda. For many elite golfers, it's the ideal stage to sharpen their form for the Presidents Cup. When JT, who is making his 18th start on Tour this year, competes here, it's about more than just FedEx points. This is where the competitive edge is honed.
Top Talent from the Start
And Thomas isn't alone. Names like J.T. Poston, Jacob Bridgeman, and even Kevin Kisner, who is leaving the NBC commentary booth specifically for this, are already confirmed. College star Jackson Koivun also wants to prove himself here before the Presidents Cup. This is truly impressive and shows that this new tournament from September 17-20 (2026) at the Cliffs at Walnut Cove will have no teething problems. The who's who are gathering here to get their final polish before the big team event.
