Brandt Snedeker will captain the United States at next year's Presidents Cup golf tournament (Chris Graythen) American golfer Brandt Snedeker and Australia's Geoff Ogilvy will be the respective captains of the United States and International Teams for next year's Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago, the PGA Tour announced Tuesday. Snedeker will be charged with extending the USA's dominance of the biennial team tournament while Ogilvy will aim to become the first winning International captain since Peter Thomson in 1998. Advertisement "Very humbled and kind of shocked, to be honest," Snedeker said in a conference call on Tuesday. "I got the call a couple weeks ago. Trying to wrap my head around what this is going to look like and then what this is going to entail. "Super honored to be leading this team and be part of this great history of the Presidents Cup." The USA retained the most recent Presidents Cup with a crushing 18.5 to 11.5 victory at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada last year. Ogilvy meanwhile was a member of three losing International Presidents Cup teams in 2007, 2009 and 2011. "It's a great honor," the 47-year-old said. "I'm really looking forward and excited for it." Advertisement Snedeker, who played on the 2013 US Presidents Cup team as well as the 2012 and 2016 Ryder Cups, will also act as a captain for this year's Ryder Cup in September. "Brandt Snedeker is among the game's most respected players and one who has garnered the utmost admiration from his peers throughout his 21-year career," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said. "Brandt is a proven leader on and off the golf course ... I know he will be a tremendous captain and asset for the US Team in 2026." The 2026 Presidents Cup will take place from September 22-27 next year. rcw/wd

Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports (Reuters) -Brandt Snedeker and Australia's Geoff Ogilvy have been named as captains of the U.S. and International Teams, respectively, on Tuesday for the 2026 edition of the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago. Snedeker, a nine-times winner on the PGA Tour who was the U.S.-based circuit's 2007 rookie of the year, was a captain's assistant at last year's Presidents Cup and will serve as one of Keegan Bradley's vice captains for the 2025 Ryder Cup. The 44-year-old American represented the U.S. Team in the 2013 Presidents Cup, where he compiled a 2-3-0 record, and played in the 2012 and 2016 Ryder Cups. "I'm looking forward to leading our guys into Medinah for what will certainly be an amazing week of golf," said Snedeker. "Representing my country in team competition has been a highlight of my PGA Tour career, and I will lean on those experiences to ensure we are prepared and ready to compete against what I know will be a unified and determined International Team." Ogilvy, who counts the 2006 U.S. Open among his eight wins on the PGA Tour, takes over at the helm of the International Team after serving as a captain's assistant in the last four iterations of the Presidents Cup. The 47-year-old Australian played on three consecutive International Teams (2007, 2009, 2011), where he amassed a 7-6-1 record. "Since Ernie Els debuted the shield in 2019, the International Team's spirit has intensified and grown as we have rallied around this symbol which embodies our shared ambition and unifies both players and fans," said Ogilvy. "I intend to carry that momentum forward, just as the captains before me have, to build strong support for our international players in the lead up and throughout the event." The 2026 Presidents Cup will be held September 24-27, 2026 on Medinah Country Club's Course #3, site of the 2012 Ryder Cup where Europe overcame a four-point deficit on the final day to retain the Cup in what is known as the "Miracle at Medinah". The United States prevailed in Montreal last September for a 10th consecutive Presidents Cup triumph, improving to 13-1-1 in the biennial match play event against a line-up of international players from outside Europe.
