The Presidents Cup teams are complete, with captains Jim Furyk and Mike Weir adding their six picks to their six automatic qualifiers.
The 2024 match takes place later this month at The Royal Montreal Golf Club, where the Internationals will once again search for their first win since 1998.

But what about the names that missed out on the teams? We take a look at some of the notables that won’t be playing in the 2024 Presidents Cup…
