The 2024 Presidents Cup team is set and ready for action.
The top-six finishers in the point standings that are U.S. PGA Tour members – LIV players need not apply because they are ineligible for the biennial competition – automatically qualified for U.S. Captain Jim Furyk’s team.
Furyk then made his six captain’s picks to round out his 12-man squad that will seek to continue America’s domination of the biennial team competition against the rest of the world (minus Europe). The Americans lead the all-time series 12-1-1 and have never lost on home soil. The lone International win came in 1998 at Royal Melbourne.
Furyk’s picks were the players seventh through 12th in the points. That left him with a few tough phone calls to Justin Thomas and Billy Horschel (both on the U.S. side in 2022) as well as Akshay Bhatia, who was seeking to make his first team.
The Presidents Cup will be played at Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Sept. 26-29.
Here’s a look at the 12 members of the U.S. team:

Keegan Bradley returns to the Presidents Cup for the first time in 11 years. Bradley was left off the U.S. Ryder Cup team last season but was named the 2025 U.S. captain in July. Presidents Cup captains Jim Furyk named Bradley an assistant captain but that was before he notched the seventh win of his PGA Tour career at the BMW Championship after entering the week at No. 50 in the FedExCup. The victory, which was one of three top-10s on the season, allowed him to advance to the Tour Championship for the sixth time in his career. U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk on Bradley: “When I named Keegan as a captain’s assistant for the Presidents Cup I knew there was a chance he would play his way onto the U.S. Team, and I can say without a doubt he did just that. The grit he showed in the final round in Memphis followed by the win in Denver exemplified the competitive nature he has always played with, and I know he will bring that same fire to Royal Montreal in a few weeks.”
