Seven of the world’s top 10 ranked golfers are playing, headed by World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, all of them on the US side.
In contrast, the highest-ranked players for the International team are 14th-ranked Si Woo Kim and 22nd-ranked Ryan Fox. New Zealander Fox, 39, and this year’s Open champion, is making his Cup debut, as is 38-year-old Canadian Nick Taylor.
Adam Scott is playing in his 12th Presidents Cup, which draws him level with Phil Mickelson for the most appearances.
Team USA has dominated this contest historically, winning 13 of the 15 Cups held and tying another. In seeking an 11th successive victory, the US team is looking to maintain its record of winning every home Presidents Cup.
Each side comprises six qualifiers and six captain’s picks. For the US side, qualification was based on weighted FedExCup points since January 2025. For the International side, automatic qualification was based on the Official World Golf Ranking.
