Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy, captain of the International team for the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, thinks his side has been making headway in the biennial matches the past few years in a way that is reminiscent of the European team when it was inching closer to defeating the American squad in the early to mid-1980s.
The US Presidents Cup team was unveiled Tuesday with the PGA Tour naming Brandt Snedeker as captain for the 2026 American squad that will compete at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago.
In recognition of his charitable efforts and his exemplary conduct during his 20-year professional golf career, Snedeker has been named this year’s recipient of the Payne Stewart Award.
A painful – and flukish – sternum injury caused Brandt Snedeker to make an extreme “quality-of-life decision” late last year. And now that his pain has subsided, he’s hoping his quality of golf comes back as well.
Lashley, who lost his parents and his girlfriend in a tragic plane crash in May 2004, had his sister and his current girlfriend on hand to watch in Detroit.
Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt was delighted to have Snedeker return to Australia, especially after the recent announcement of Matt Kuchar also in the field.
The US PGA Tour’s regular-season finale has its own unique set of winners and losers. Here’s a look at a handful of the harrowing – and heartbreaking – stories.
