Geoff Ogilvy has finalized his International Team for the 2026 Presidents Cup, announcing the final six Captain’s Picks on Tuesday – a true game-changer for the showdown at Medinah Country Club, which takes place later this month. With Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Corey Conners, Nico Echavarria, Ryo Hisatsune, Sungjae Im, and Nick Taylor, Ogilvy brings an exciting mix to the green.
Ogilvy has wisely balanced experience with the fresh energy of rookies: Conners, Bezuidenhout, and Im already bring Presidents Cup experience, while Echavarria, Hisatsune, and Taylor will make their debuts. The Internationals face a formidable challenge, aiming to finally end their eleven-match losing streak against the USA. It's a mission promising pure adrenaline!
The Roster is Set: Experience Meets Fresh Power
Automatic qualifiers like Si Woo Kim, the only one in the top 20 of the World Ranking, along with heavyweights Adam Scott, Hideki Matsuyama, and newly crowned major champion Ryan Fox, form the backbone of the team. Min Woo Lee and Tom Kim are also on board. Notably, Jason Day, the highest-ranked international player, did not make the squad – a persistent back injury may have played a role here. This sparks speculation, but Ogilvy's decisions have been made.
